If you create a community, please try and populate it with content. I see a lot of new communities with 0-1 posts from the mod. That’s not nearly enough to get people engaged - users are going to see that it’s a ghost town and leave.

If you have enough interest to create a community, you probably know something about the subject matter, so PLEASE add some posts (5-10 would be a good start). Maybe some questions to get people talking, even popular reposts from other sites. It sucks shouting into a void, but if you don’t do it, everyone else will also be shouting into a void.

Also please consider whether you need to create a community! When there are 100 million users of the site, there may be 1000 people who are interested in the same exact niche tabletop RPG as you, but there are <500,000 users here for now, so you’ll be lucky to find 10. Consider creating a thread in a broader community (like boardgames) until you have enough people talking in the thread that it gets messy - then it’s time to create a separate community.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

    Is it meant to be a sub for serious discussion only? If not, you can google “cute Boston terrier” and find some interesting pictures to add to the mix!

      It’s just a breed appreciation sub, so not too serious. I did post a couple of Boston Terrier relevant articles and I’m going to continue to try to post a single post a day. The sub is six days old and currently has 5 posts (haven’t posted today yet), but just me and one other sub, heh. Maybe it’ll take off one day.
