Yep. Weirdly, I didn't do any work to populate reddit either. It's almost like that would be impractical and unrealistic for an end user to do.
It's only impractical for a small userbase. As the userbase grows, the amount of posts each user needs to contribute in order to maintain an active community drops to a realistic level.
