At least on the communities i follow. Every so often I come across a thread where i recognize most of the users there even in the big communities with over 30k members and I haven’t even been on lemmy that long.

One dedicated person is sometimes all it takes to Kickstart a community. Every lemmy comm or their subreddit ancestors started the same way
One person can suffer from “shouting into the void”. Finding at least one other regularly poster helps a lot
I’ve started a few communities. I have to admit that attempting to be the one dedicated poster has burned me out of a hobby and made me not want to post anything anymore. It certainly isn’t for everyone.
The way I do it, is not to stress about keeping up a posting schedule. I just keep posting interesting stuff I find in the community and eventually more people gather. It’s how I started /r/piracy
