Stumble across an interesting community that’s been dormant for a few months

Decide to try making my own post there to see if others will follow and get the community going again

Get immediately downvoted by the subscribers who haven’t posted anything for 6 months and yelled at for posting something that’s not exactly what they wanted to see there, even though it clearly fits the rules

Make a few more posts in hopes of winning someone over then give up because people are being dicks or just not engaging at all

Eventually give up and watch the community die again

This has happened to me several times since I started using Lemmy lol
