Pirates want to stay on Reddit? This is the last group I had expected to have such a reaction, but here we are. Yes, the mod could have worded it better, but these people actually want to stick around on Reddit.

I personally find Lemmy to be a perfectly viable alternative to Reddit for such subs. I wonder about the reasons why these people still don't want to move.

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.
