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.

Dang, this sucks. I usually post news rather than open discussions so I never noticed. I had my own disagreements with lemm.ee admin back in the day which is why I'm on sopuli.xyz among some other things.

I do wonder if going with movies community on an instance that has more broad one already is too much of a handicap. Something like beehaws's c/entertainment could work if parked at some instance that's federated well enough.

Open discussions are always the hardest things to get comments and actual conversations in the comments, except maybe in the AskLemmy community where it works well.

It might be, I just posted on [email protected] (not wanting to get another account banned on [email protected] ), we'll see how it goes

I don't think that's much of an issue to be honest, and even if it is, having a "large" audience able to see it from their local feed should outweigh the con.
