MODERATORS
I have communities with more than 300 subs and it's rare that anybody else posts in them.
This happens? Most comms I see even with hundreds of subs rely on one person posting, normally the mod.
One community I mod has become posting from a bunch of people after we hit 200. !chronicillness@lemmy.world
I don’t entirely understand the concept of moderators needing to be the main posters. Somebody recruited me once to be the mod of a slow community and the main thing they wanted was for me to make posts. I don’t need to be a moderator to post in a community and I already post in every community as much as I can; if I have something relevant to that community, I post, and if I have nothing I don’t post.
It’s because most communities have basically no posts.
We have the opposite problem of reddit, not enough posts.
I'm doing the vast majority of the posting in !trailers@lemmy.blahaj.zone. Maintaining post integrity is tough when you open it to a crowd.
Drag hates trailers. They're full of spoilers
