The reason I ask was wondering if I can help more communities get more traffic and make them more noticied. And maybe a little nod to the communities I mod.

People quickly see that it's just one person and quickly lose interest

    It depends on the type of community.

    If its only one person but they're sharing neat photos or articles about a topic, then yes I'll still subscribe. Some of my favorite communities on here have one or a few dedicated users. Over time more users do begin to post, even if the majority of the content is by one motivated person.

    But it is still the the way to get a community started nonetheless.

    If even the creator of the community doesn't post anything people don't even gain the interest in the first place that they might (or ideally might not...) lose later on.
