I’ll make a note about #3. “Some content, but not too much” is probably still more content than you think it is. Lemmy has better discoverability than Reddit since it’s still young, so you can probably still seed communities with just a post or two per day, but it could take you a week or two weeks of daily posts before you hook another contributor. Maybe even more if the topic is particularly niche.
At the very least, you need to seed enough content that the community does look like it produce stuff occasionally and it’s just a dead subscription.
