There are more contributions now than there used to be, but if no one has posted in a day, I try to make a post.

It takes a large userbase. I remember on The Old Place a community might need 2 or 3 thousand subscribers before it became truly self-sustaining. The more esoteric and obscure the knowledge or material needed to post, the more subscribers you need - meme communities can hit it at 2-3 thousand, while others, like history communities, can reach 5k and still be reliant on a small number of contributors.
