How do you deal with being the only one posting in a community (aka "shouting into the void")? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I'm not gonna lie, sometimes it feels a bit lonely. I try to post on a few generic communities

Sometimes I can be the only poster for a few weeks. Makes me requestion the relevance of posting at all. I started posting to [email protected] recently just because at least my posts are widely seen, and other people post there as well.

Completely get what you feel. I had a look at your last posts, at least the good a few comments, that's something.

Sometimes it's even worse, you post then all you get back is negativity. I just posted on [email protected], there are some comments which I just reported

Yeah. When I post about politics, I often get some responses. They tend to be pretty same-y, but it's better than nothing.

I'm sorry you're getting unnecessarily hostile comments on your posts. That's disheartening.
