Are there really so few car enthusiasts on this site? This sub seems to have such little traffic. What gives?
Coming from Reddit, there were multiple car-related subs and they all saw some fairly heavy traffic with lots of posts and comments. Heck, even some of the model-specific ones seem to get more interaction than this sub does. What's the deal?

I made one post already, i just feel like I’d be spamming if I kept posting with so few other members. Maybe that’s just in my head, because I’m sure i could post some interesting content lol
Nah, prolific not-spam posting of good content would just make me want to follow your account if there is such a thing on Lemmy. Post away!
I've posted a similar thought other places, but coming from reddit--where you are as good as anonymous on all but the most niche subs--it's tough to get back into the mindset of posting to build community. It feels like coming full circle back to the topic-specific forums where you recognized a good 25%-50% of the people commonly posting and you didn't have to worry about your voice getting drowned out by random chatter and bots.
All that to say, I personally think posting semi-relevant or memey material, just for the sake of spurring conversation and getting to know other members is fine and probably a good thing while things are getting rolling.
