At least on the communities i follow. Every so often I come across a thread where i recognize most of the users there even in the big communities with over 30k members and I haven’t even been on lemmy that long.

Be the change you want to see. Post and comment. Start a sub.
That’s more difficult than it would seem. Especially since the niche stuff i would be interested in fostering is… well… niche. And lemmy isn’t that large. YET!
One dedicated person is sometimes all it takes to Kickstart a community. Every lemmy comm or their subreddit ancestors started the same way
I’ve started a few communities. I have to admit that attempting to be the one dedicated poster has burned me out of a hobby and made me not want to post anything anymore. It certainly isn’t for everyone.
The way I do it, is not to stress about keeping up a posting schedule. I just keep posting interesting stuff I find in the community and eventually more people gather. It’s how I started /r/piracy
One person can suffer from “shouting into the void”. Finding at least one other regularly poster helps a lot
What interest is it?
Have a look at !newcommunities@lemmy.world for list of existing active communities
!fedigrow@lemm.ee for people who make communities grow
Mostly just anime specific communities and other hobbies. Thanks for the info though. Maybe I’ll get around to making a community
!anime@ani.social us usually fit for discussions about specific animes
Feel free, yesterday I discovered we had !simracing@lemmy.ml , so sometimes it’s just there, but unknown
Might i say that you’re always doing a good job of promoting these communities as well. Kudos to you!
Happy to help !
