Kind of a companion thread to the recent one on [email protected] asking people which community there were missing.
I had a quick look, and most of those seem to be niches that can’t be filled until we reach a higher population.
There is still maybe some potential improvement about some less well-known community that other people are interested in and that could some additional activity.
I try to help to make less known communities known with the regular threads on [email protected] (now moving to [email protected] ), but there is probably only a level of detail we have to stop at with 47k monthly active users.
One example is [email protected], it seems reasonable active, and is probably a better compromise than having each game having its own community.
Similar with [email protected], or [email protected]. I posted a thread about Ted Lasso a few days ago, it got some nice comments, but probably not enough to have a full fledged dedicated community.
I’m probably missing context here, is the name a brand or an established subreddit?
I think it’s a comm where some guy posts whatever they’re interested in at the moment. Kind of like c/Gondaily
nod the point was (in fun) to exemplify not doing what the GP comment to this thread was talking about; here we have a positive example of a user creating a single space to post any/all of their “niche” (eye of the beholder) content, rather than creating tiny communities for each interest. It was a light-hearted comment “see, like this”. :) (disclaimer: I’m subscribed)
And I think this is how people should start thinking of Lemmy communities maybe, or at least as an option for Lemmy communities; to be less like subreddit ls and more like personal pages frankly more akin to Myspace. Part of the appeal of Lemmy, to me at least, is the decentralization and reclamation of some level of ownership. So maybe lemmy is less a place where you go to join c/deathmetal and c/crotchet and c/vintagesmurfpornography, but instead it’s a place where you start c/yourusername and declare it your personal shrine to needlepoint, cannibal corpse, and blue cartoon-fuckery.
But I also smoke weed, so I might just be having a moment
Makes sense, thanks!
My cousin used to do [email protected]
He ended up doing a total social media break, and stopped posting after that, but he’s been thinking of starting back.
