Right, forgot about that. Sadly I feel that this is a little bit too strict for Lemmy niche topics. To me that community is at least healthy looking, it has regular posts created by different users, and all get replies by different users. But it is quite low traffic, sure.
I thought about it as a way to encourage communities members to post at least once a week. Can even just be a scheduled discussion thread, the objective is to keep it active.
And if even once a week is not doable, then maybe it’s time to consider consolidating with a more active community on the same topic?
Yeah I see that differently. To me these forced posts for the sake of posting something, that are all being created by the same people are not necessarily that appealing to me, they don’t give me the impression that there is an actual community interested in the topic, you know? It’s kinda obvious that it’s really more “pretend active”.
While the plantid one, it seems like there is a community there, they just don’t post much, because there just aren’t that many people on Lemmy that have plantid questions. The community actually has a purpose and direction, it is active if activated and it gives good answers.
