    I’m kind of giving up. When I came over during the Reddit APIpocolypse, I tried to post as much as I could. My posts here don’t get much engagement, and only seem to reach a small audience, so it doesn’t feel like it’s worth the effort.

    I still try to post and comment, but it feels like a slog sometimes.

      Completely get what you feel. I had a look at your last posts, at least the good a few comments, that’s something.

      Sometimes it’s even worse, you post then all you get back is negativity. I just posted on !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world, there are some comments which I just reported

        Yeah. When I post about politics, I often get some responses. They tend to be pretty same-y, but it’s better than nothing.

        I’m sorry you’re getting unnecessarily hostile comments on your posts. That’s disheartening.

      Don’t ever think it’s up to you or any individual to carry the success of Lemmy or individual communities. Post what you think is worth sharing and don’t force yourself if you don’t feel like it. If Lemmy is to be more popular it will be on the backs of many people collectively.
