Be the change! There was a community dedicated to rail enthusiasts in my city that I really liked on Reddit, and it's not super active here but I'm doing my bit and trying to get something posted everyday. It's taken a bit, but the people have come!

Also I think it's one of those things where there are actually people there but nobody knows what to post, or is worried they won't get any engagement. My experience is that there's actually a lot of people that just subbed to the communities here that are similar to subs they liked and then either forgot about it or again, don't want to be the only one talking

Yeah absolutely agree with you! When people started "protesting" in the absolute most hypocritical ways i knew it was done (people joining /place out of "spite" was an absolute joke to me)

And in my experience only 2 types of people roam reddit now, the ones who dont give an ef (and thats fine) and the people who complain but secretly don't know they are in a unhealthy relationship and just stick with it because thats all they know and just like to complain.

So id we all put in a bit of effort in it itll be just as big as reddit.

Heck yes! And do leave pointless comments like this, no one knows you're here until you post or comment.
