I've set up a new community (!giveaways@piefed.ca) but I'm seeing almost no activity - I know this is normal to a degree, but to receive only one reply on three posts offering free stuff feels weird. I also saw another user complaining about federation from piefed.ca, and when trying to share the community with Lemmy Federate as recommended on the sidebar, I just got an error. Have I done something wrong, is it an instance issue, or is it just coincidence and regular low traffic?

Also, I'd love to get other feedback if anyone has time.

Wasn't seeing it here on reddthat yet until I tried loading it manually, so I'm guessing the bot that automatically subscribes to new communities failed.
