    We have mechanisms for transferring sub ownership, so once the community is made, any individual can bring it back to life with some effort. It’s really just a population thing though, we’re not quite big enough to support really niche interests yet.

    It’s also a small issue of people thinking that other people will grow their communities for them, in a sort of “if you build it, they will come” mentality. This is false 99% of the time, and only works if you’re arriving at just the right time to spin up a community that there is a huge amount of demand for. Almost all communities are built off of months of regular, dedicated posting by a single individual though, which is usually the creator.

    Anyways though, this’ll resolve in time if the service continues to grow over the years.

      Very true
