Is this normal? Seems like “Hot” would refer to posts within the last ~6 hours or so…

    The problem with subscribing to communities at this point is the lack of content. I subscribed to a few different baseball communities, but none of them have anything other than maybe a welcome post or a few gameday posts without any comments. Communities are duplicated on a bunch of different instances too, which makes things a million times harder than it needs to be. I have no idea if one of the half dozen baseball communities I’m in now will make it big, if a new one entirely will make it big, or if they’re all doomed to never have content.

      Eh, Reddit had similar problems in the earliest days. One will win out. Not ideal, but it will get better.

      Be the one to post! Invite people to discuss, and crosspost to other relevant communities so more people know the comm exists!

      People won’t post if no one’s posting. It’s a vicious cycle.

      I’m trying to post at least once everyday on my local community to help build the interest. Someone has to make the content haha. Try to do the same. It doesn’t really matter which one you pick, just keep posting to it. You can subscribe to them all and comment on them all.
