    Trying [email protected] now, I’ll probably keep at that since public policy is a huge personal interest. It’s had some activity but it’s like trying to run up an escalator backwards with a 100lb pack blindfolded and drugged. lol. /c/politics even added it on the sidebar and there is almost no posts except mine. Posted links in several other communities including /c/newcommunities .

    Curious about this one, politics seems a very popular topic on Lemmy. Did you post to [email protected] and others?

    I had to give up on [email protected] because almost no one was posting but me for an entire month, well that and plus I just ran out of things to post.

    That’s a very common experience. We have regular threads on [email protected], this is definitely a recurring issue. On the other hand, if you can find someone to post with you, it feels very good.

      Yeah it was posted to /c/politics and actually pinned for a few days. Had a lot of traffic from that while it was up but no regular posters. The problem was though there was a lot of pro Russia trolls and aggressive commenters. If it’s going to grow it needs to be reeeeeal slow, so I can’t really post about it much.
