    That sounds fun too! I take some screenshots here and there too, there’s some really great landscapes.

    Yeah, I’ve noticed that a lot unfortunately. I’ve got a community I moderate and try to post in when I have something to say, but there’s so many others and not enough time in the day!

      I feel you. I’ve been trying to kickstart a community for over a year now and the best I can hope for are a few votes. It can be pretty deflating after a while.

        Yeah, same! There’s a few others I’ve experimented with posting in, and gotten the same response. I would keep going, but I feel like people are also going to avoid the community if it’s just me talking to myself! So it’s tough to find a good balance.

          I try not to overthink it - if it’s a topic I’m interested in I just keep posting, even if I’m alone. There’s no point (in my mind) in worrying about people being put off of a community with a single poster since the only alternative is a completely dead one. It might be just me but I feel like the latter is less inviting - if only because you have no idea if anything you post will get a response. With a single poster you know there’s at least one person passionate enough about the topic to engage with you.
