Be careful with this approach. It's great you're excited, but I was in that boat. When the reddit exodus started everyone made a community for every niche, but then there was not enough to keep them going. So communities petered out one by one
I've found it's better to focus your efforts on a couple of communities and get them going vs spreading out.
Yes, I agree. I popped over to take a look and there was only one post, for the two that most appeal to me. Not very inviting for subscribers.
I just made them, that’s why I’m sharing! :)
That's only the first and easiest step, you'll probably be the only one posting to most of them for a good while the community starts up. That can be months, years even. Only now do I think my little communities are starting to gain traction, and thats after years of work and posting regularly by myself.
I'm not trying to discourage you, but make sure you're posting... a lot
Thanks!
