That's what I mean. Let's go for themes, topic, the place we fit in, feel good and does our content good, It's not about being the biggest off Steemit but about staying close to what was intended at the moment a community was created.
Many lost themselves and went for the "big money"ohters remained themselves and are doing well. There's no need to compare with others if it's the topic and with that the content counts.
If I join one about "cooking" I have certain expectations - recipes for example - and don't want to read the next diary.

A community for diaries might be a hit.
One for each age, country, profession, entertainment, and the scheduled ones sharing their timetables.

#thediarygame could use a facelift or perhaps those empty communities can fill this void.
