[META] Creating a new community is easy, but to get people on board, you need to create some content. - Lemmy.world

If you create a community, please try and populate it with content. I see a lot of new communities with 0-1 posts from the mod. That’s not nearly enough to get people engaged - users are going to see that it’s a ghost town and leave. If you have enough interest to create a community, you probably know something about the subject matter, so PLEASE add some posts (5-10 would be a good start). Maybe some questions to get people talking, even popular reposts from other sites. It sucks shouting into a void, but if you don’t do it, everyone else will also be shouting into a void. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

I started https://kbin.social/m/BostonTerrier and I'm trying to post multiple times a week, but it's difficult sort of throwing things into the void. Plus, I only have two dogs!

Show us your adorable pup or discuss the joys of owning a fart-pig.

Is it meant to be a sub for serious discussion only? If not, you can google "cute Boston terrier" and find some interesting pictures to add to the mix!
It's just a breed appreciation sub, so not too serious. I did post a couple of Boston Terrier relevant articles and I'm going to continue to try to post a single post a day. The sub is six days old and currently has 5 posts (haven't posted today yet), but just me and one other sub, heh. Maybe it'll take off one day.
