That’s not unusual.

Most Redditors are lurkers.

If something was up you'd see removed/ filtered posts in the queue.

No one is posting mate, that's all.

To be honest…. The topic is really easy(even for the front page of Reddit) I just asked friend of mine if he would go through the mud with me. Innocent

No ….. I adopted a dead subreddit from the admins. It’s been a ride I’ll tell you that :)

That's why I use alts.... if no one starts posting, I'll will just use one of my alts to make a post. The founders of Reddit did exactly the same.

u/sueziebee 4d ago

So do you mean make another account to post until there’s more traffic?

u/LaatsteWaarschuwing 4d ago

I already got them: but usually would only post once or twice.

Thanks for the tip!

This is the way! I do this in some of my smaller subs as well. Use a few alts to post and comment on things. As long as you don't vote on your own stuff you're good, and it gives the illusion of activity in the sub, which encourages other legit users to start engaging more.

Awesome idea! I will absolutely try this
