Not OP, but for me, the main community I interact with reddit for exists, there’s just no activity there. It’s currently the off-season (the community is hockey), so I think there’s no point in trying to grow the community at this moment. Hopefully in the fall we can get some traffic.
The main posts on r/hockey are just links to Twitter, as all the news is posted there first. I think they may even have bots on Twitter that post all of the links. If in the fall we are still as barren as we are now, I might communicate with the mods and ask if that’s something that they would be open to if I’m willing to write the bot.
If you start posting, people will join in as they no longer feel the community is dead. Just takes people to make the first move. It’s a bit like starting a fire. A bit of work at first, but once alight, you can throw the occasional log on the fire.
Yeah, but again, I don’t think it’s worth trying right now during the off-season. r/hockey is just full of shit posts right now. So I’ll probably start posting as much as possible in the fall when the season starts up.
A few of my communities came over but the big one I’m missing is the college football sub with flairs and everything so I can discriminate against those of lesser teams.
all the subreddits i love had no visible immigration to lemmy so i will have to wait a while to see the change
Why wait and not just start a community up?

Same here. How many of these posts are in meme communities?

The one here just isn’t the same.
