I like Lemmy. I really do.

In order to support the website, I have posted a shit-ton of original content.

Is what I'm doing actually useful? Or am I just wasting my time?

I do this a lot but in different communities to you. In the bigger communities your post can get lost in the feed, smaller ones they may just not be seen by many. You could try more mid range communities. You like politics and news, so you could try !politicalmemes@lemmy.world where you'll get more interaction. You could also mix it up with !goodnewseveryone@piefed.social where people just upvote and posts don't require interaction.

I've found if you post in the right places people start chatting and it's really fun!

That linked "good news" page has a header saying "Only mods can create threads in this magazine". Or at least that's what it says on the instance I'm on
