If the only mod on a Lemmy community is inactive is there any point in posting there? Or should I make a new commuinity? (lemmy.world)

Sorry if this is a dumb question. I'm unsure what the procedure is.

Lemmy is still growing and niche communities will take time to grow. I've also advocated for combining communities until a community grows to be too big and could use splitting into smaller, more dedicated communities.

Don't remember which community we decided to lock and put a permanent stickied post pointing to another community for similar content until that community would become too big and we could reopen the closed community once there was a need for it.

But yeah its tough right now with smaller communities and trying to get the ball rolling. If you haven't already, join us at [email protected].
