Everyone wants lively communities, yet few people are willing to post.

Lemmy isn't big enough to have 1% of users be able to provide content to a passive 99%. If you want more of something, you need to make it happen. People naturally slowly become more willing to engage when there is activity, but there need to be people making a conscious effort to be the early adopters. If you want posts, make posts. It does much more good than asking why there are no posts.

    “I dont want to do anything. I want everyone else to entertain me”

    Where do you think active communities started in the first place?

    Be the change you want to see. Post the content you want to see. Start the community you want, and grow it.

    That's exactly what they just said; people don't post because there are no posts. Post on a community you want to keep alive and that'll encourage other people to post. Don't post and nobody else will either.
