why do people register new communities and then not post content on them?

I see lots of communities with hundreds of subscribers, but no posts. What is with that? If you’re going to register a community, at least help it get going. Post some content regularly, until it becomes self-sustaining. It’s disappointing to open a community with hundreds of subscribers and not a single post.

I'm sure it's because there are a lot of new people like myself just getting their toes wet in Lemmy. People can only post so much per day. Slowly, I think more people will post. Can't always force content on some subs!

But not even the community creators themselves seem to post anything sometimes which is really weird. You would think someone creating a community is already a bit familiar with Lemmy and wants to post about stuff they are interested in. I mean that's why they created the community, didn't they?

I haven't posted in my gamer group I made only cause they haven't decided to migrate yet. I'm "saving our spot" by registering now.

I mean that’s understandable if it’s a specific gamer group, but people essentially just title camping is kinda lame. There are some users who created/mod like 5+ communities, clearly related to their interests but not a private group, and not posting a thing in any of them. That said a person can easily just take a more active role there and post all they want
