It's a good mentality to have.

I kept looking for communities and not finding them, so I started making them. Then adding posts to those communities, and to my surprise people do come and upvote and comment.

I have no interest in running a community, does starting the community mean you're responsible for it here? How does it work? Can I start one and not be responsible for it?

I'm unsure of how it works for the long term, but for the short term it's just for populating the content. That's how I see it.

Then eventually when it grows, I'd want to add a mod to help with the community, or give them them the community entirely.

The focus is populating the community.
