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.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

    Tenho ouvido esse papo também, mas isso não consumiria a API e geraria custo pra quem fizesse o crosspost? Talvez usem um proxy? Não sei

    De todo modo, os subs maiores nem precisa fazer muito esforço, são muito genéricos e acontece organicamente.

    Mas comunidades mais nichadas não adianta querer criar a cópia antes de todo mundo e achar que vai explodir não. Ou gera conteúdo ou espera sentado alguém que faça.
