the thing is if you're like me and you don't really have any friends who play blockland/they're never online/you don't have a quick way of contacting them it's really hard to get the first few players
although when i hosted family RPs they got filled up pretty fast just because it was a family RP, and after a while it was because the people who had come there the first few times would keep coming back and that made more new people join because the server was already half-full
but now when i've tried to host recently (even when i knew for sure my server was joinable) i didn't get more than like 2 people at a time because all the "regulars" from before had forgotten about the server and i think family RPs are getting less and less popular
