Yes. Just keep posting. You might not get any responses for a while but keep posting news, photos, etc.
If you just create it and leave it empty, you probably won’t go anywhere. If users come and see at least one person is regularly posting, it’s much more attractive.
From what I see, Lemmy is growing and it may, eventually, grow if you create a local community for a city / region. My advice for anyone that would like to create a new community is to ensure you are creating content on a regular bases until there are enough other people to also contribute, with the knowledge could be a while (weeks / months???) before others discover it.
Will people come?

If you don’t make it, they definitely won’t come, so might as well make it, right?
