Its kind of already happening here - just for different reasons.
There is very little engagement on Lemmy besides in a few communities. What little engagement there is - is driven by a few users.
Even broad conversion topics get very little engagement.
I get not everyone wants to be a topic "starter" (i know I don't), but they can't even bother to either:
1: just post a tiny comment (look at "what are you watching" in the movies / TV subs on piefed.Social; seems like a real easy topic for anyone to engage in and yet there's only ever like 10 posts and zero upvotes)
2: upvote topics or posts; While the points don't matter - they still show and promote engagement.
Its honestly rather frustrating.
There seems to be more discussion here if Linux, open source etc & not just the pointless questions that Google can answer. More conversations I enjoy reading responses and opinions. IDK I'm a noob & I like it here.
I'd note that the same phenomenon exists on Reddit. You'd be surprised how many subreddits on a site much larger are maintained purely by the power of a few posters who feed the community with posts.
I'd also argue that television and movies on piefed.social, per activity, are much more active than what you suggest there.
If you really want a community to take off, you have to basically schedule yourself to make content there.
The lessons from every group I've grown (and haven't) is that consistency is key. You have to develop the habit in other people, and it might take a long time to start.
If you want to be a Twitch streamer, for instance, you have to do it at the same time every day.
