All seems abandoned without following.

I don’t think the community here is large enough yet to support such niche topics in most cases. Better to have an active horror community to begin with, then split off of we ever get enough traction to warrant it.
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’m not going to post in a ghost town
You know it’s people who think like you that CAUSE it to be a ghost town, right?
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.
I’ve seen chains of post of the same person for months without any answers, it’s just sad dude.
“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.
You’re saying that like it’s a bad thing

Weird…that sounds like a good thing to me
Then don’t? Sounds like you just want free content. That’s really not “what we do” here
Feel free to start one, and post
Nobody would follow.
I get the joke, but if a community has a dedicated poster it can help a lot. Doesn’t take much to get something going. Otherwise every interested person will react like you did and think there’s no point.
Funny.
Lol. Answered your own question.
Lemmy has a fairly small userbase so there aren’t enough users for anything remotely niche. You’ll want to subscribe to the biggest movie communities you can find rather than communities specifically for horror movies.
Note that there are often different versions of the same communities on different instances. That’s by design but often throws new users off. Subscribe to them all.

I would prefer to consolidate these communities, but I know it’s not my call. Thankfully that’s happening somewhat organically.
They were all killed by spooky ghosts
I’ll get my fatal frame’s camera obscura brb
I think The Evil Dead is the most consistent horror franchise. Like Alien and The Exorcist have incredibly high highs but the lows are abhorrent.
You may have misread it, but I agree with you. Evil Dead is one of the most consistent horror universes out there. Army of Darkness is definitely my favorite. Give me some sugar, baby.
Isn’t there a monster movie one? There a movie community. I’m sure there are some horror fans there. Broader categories can include niche topics while benefiting from the participation of a larger audience.
I guess it depends on the franchise… Hellraiser has a pretty sweet box set coming out later this year, that’s an opportunity to start a discussion:
Anyone ever read the original or the sequel?
I had no idea! Thanks for sharing.
