Moving one over here was fairly hard for this reason. I admittedly should be keeping it up still, but where realizing I had nine whole subscribers made me really happy (there are tens of us!), realizing nobody was ever going to make a move of any sort even to comment and that I was going to continue carrying this entire community by myself has made me very discouraged.
I know most people are content to lurk while they look for something that’s interesting enough to post/interact with. I do that too. But come on, guys. Don’t do me like this. Nobody goes online to sit and talk to themselves.

You say this, but people have the right to be lurkers if they want. No one is forced to keep a community going.
@infyrin imo you’re contributing to Lemmy just by being here, lurking is perfectly fine, you don’t have to actively participate.
