The communities i care about the most are ghosttowns on lemmy so I have to go to the subs
Or you could contribute (more) yourself to build them up.
it takes alot of users to do that not just 1 account posting on there
It's the same concept of voting. Thinking "my one post won't make a difference" is part of the problem.
It won't though, you need quite a few active users to sustain a community. The issue is potential users are often turned off by the lack of an active community, and the lack of an active community is exacerbated by a lack of active users. Unless you know how to get around that besides "post into the void and hope other people pop up somehow"... I don't know. I forgot where I was going with this.
It does, but people are more likely to contribute to something that's already established. These communities with literally zero posts are likely to stay that way.
