I'm also not a fan of the big communities, joined a couple of them when I first got here and quickly unsubbed since they get spammy and you can usually see their stuff in All anyway. For the smaller, not populated enough ones, I've just been making a conscious effort to help seed some content and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't! 🤷♀️ Bear in mind as well some of those tiny communities might have duplicates so you could keep an eye on all of them without actually adding new topics to your feed.
Yeah, I've had to take the plunge and start one of my own! I've never modded like this before... which won't be a problem if people don't show up and contribute. Learning how to do more than lurk sure takes up spoons, but it will be worth it if I can succeed in making (and finding) some nice places to hang out in which aren't too overwhelming, but still have enough going on. :)
Best of luck! You might be talking to yourself for a little bit but remember there's another big wave of newbies due in at the end of the month :)
