People create subs and then leave. Some are to ruqqus or voat or other.
If you make a sub, you have to put unique content on it too.
So some people make one, and then know nothing to fill it with after a few posts.

    Exactly, keep posting, be consistent in it and be patient.

    A lot changed among SaidIt's userbase and activity after /s/Ice_Poseidon2 was banned, I noticed. In the months leading up to it, and following it.

      It was an island sub disconnected from the rest of SaidIt. SaidIt agreed to host the sub as long as it didn’t show up under new/all, but it was a streaming community. We watched several streamers. And laughed at the shit they did. As one sub, we made up a good majority of SaidIt’s userbase.

      There was one streamer in particular who was an absolute degenerate, literal pedophile, and we had concrete, objective evidence (like video or screenshots) of him being a pedo, doing cocaine live on stream, being racist and many other things. He hates that (it’s why we were banned from reddit. He follows us from place to place, hoping he can get rid of us). That was ice Poseidon. We were named ice Poseidon 2 because we were the part of his fan base that realized what a pos he was and broke off from his og fan base and became like a kiwi farms or lolcow, but for multiple streamers.

      He wanted our sub shut down because he felt it affected his “potential career” via streaming which he already ruined through his own degenerate actions, so he started attacking SaidIt, as well as messaging saidit’s host, until SaidIt was forced to remove our sub.

      Saidit was new at the time and the admins had put a lot of work into trying to make it a better alternative to reddit so when those people came to this site and started streaming and posting that shit they showed they had no respect for that hard work or for the admins or the other users. They are the same kinds of degenerates that would spray paint graffiti on someones artwork and not even see the ignorance.

      anything that isn't already banned on reddit is not going to take off here

      When you join you get default subscribed to a lot of subs (including some really retarded ones), but most people aren't actually interested in that stuff, so there's no activity despite have 35k+ users.

      A lot of those big subs are only moderated by M7 and aren't really actively maintained.

      Assuming that 38k number accounts for most accounts, you're talking about like 40k users that have ever signed up for Saidit. It's still a really tiny website compared to something like reddit, and it's hampered by a large part of the userbase being genuine racists, white supremacists, etc.

      We just don't have a large active userbase yet.

      being genuine racists, white supremacists, etc.

      I don't see any problem with that. Also, here have this

      /s/Prohibition doesn't have any mods and it's title says "Prohibition and how it fails" which... I don't really like. General subs like this shouldn't be biased towards any particular political viewpoint so that the users can make their arguments for or against it. Also: only anti-Prohibition articles have been posted.

      What happens to subs without mods btw? I'm pretty new so I don't know.

        I can appoint a mod if one is needed, and I'll judge who is best-suited by who posts the best content in that sub

          things like badunitedkingdom are presumably placeholders for if (when) the reddit sub gets banned.
