I did that in the journaling community I mod. During 6 months or so I posted almost daily, then weekly content. I had to put it on hold for the last few months. But I had very little feedback all that time. After I put in on hold, at first there was no activity going on at all. Then, a few posts were created, and other members commented. There is still not much going on but it was nice to see nonetheless. Hope to see more :)
The real odd thing for me is that we gained a lot of new members (when I relaunched the community, there was probably less than 200 members, we’re more than 900 today), and still almost no one is posting. Not sure why.
I think on reddit they said that a vast majority of content “posts” is made by a very small amount of users. I think it was less than 5% made 90% or something like that. I’m seeing the same dynamic on Lemmy/Piefed/ect…
When it comes down to it, power users are still a thing and getting them onboard on a platform helps quite a bit.

Yes, I think you’re right.
