If you look at the communities tab and sort by new, more communities there have 0 posts than have more than 10 posts. It seems like people are just making communities for the sake of having something to control, without any interest of actually contributing. Often times the communities are opposing, so it's not as if the mod actually has knowledge or an interest in all 6 sides.

Is there any discussion behind the scenes on a way to curb this. or is this not a concern at this time because lemmy is still small?

For others, an empty community owned by one person is a deterrent to posting. I'm not taking about situations where you made a community and you're the only person to have posted in it.

There are some users who have created 30+ communities without making any posts in them, and it is very clear, especially when the communities are region specific, that they don't actually plan to ever post. Best case scenario, it's spam that makes it harder to find legitimate communities.
