Trying !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world now, I’ll probably keep at that since public policy is a huge personal interest. It’s had some activity but it’s like trying to run up an escalator backwards with a 100lb pack blindfolded and drugged. lol. /c/politics even added it on the sidebar and there is almost no posts except mine. Posted links in several other communities including /c/newcommunities .

Curious about this one, politics seems a very popular topic on Lemmy. Did you post to !politics@lemmy.world and others?

I had to give up on !cranetrainexcavators@lemmy.world because almost no one was posting but me for an entire month, well that and plus I just ran out of things to post.

That’s a very common experience. We have regular threads on !fedigrow@lemm.ee, this is definitely a recurring issue. On the other hand, if you can find someone to post with you, it feels very good.
