@asklemmy What is up with people creating Communities and then not even posting a single post in them?

Like wouldn’t you want to be able to grow a community by doing a post here and there, even just a welcome post to say why you created the community would make sense wouldn’t it?

    I’m guessing it’s like my book collection: mostly aspirational. I do love to read, but there’s no way I’m finishing all these impulse purchases before I die.

    IOW, they are hoping someday there will be users.

    Some communities (like a sports one I recently saw) have bots posting game threads or whatevet almost every day. I guess it’s sort of like reddit’s original fake it 'til you make it thing.
