Gaming, news, tech, general literature. All of these are somewhat thriving, with a steady influx of posts and comments. At the same time, the userbase is sorely lacking for more niche communities. In my case it'd be stuff like poetry, yoga, religion, linguistics, meditation. Or many other communities I'd doubt they'd form a larger userbase here, at least to the degree that it'd foster good discussions. Communities where there are a larger amount of "normal people", that are not tech-aware, and who have no interest in migrating off centralized corporate solutions. That just want a large space to discuss what they're interested in.

This for me at least, makes it hard to completely leave reddit (or even Facebook and their groups!). Do you think the fediverse will ever reach the point where this would become a non-issue?

I noticed there didn't exist a niche community that I'm passionate about so... I created it! It's like any other new platform, it just takes time.

I really want to take this attitude but I just don’t have time to become a moderator.

My hope is once a community has built up enough that I can dump the mod powers on someone else.

[-] TriLevelSync@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I’m not mad at that. I’ll probably hold off until there are decent mod tools then start seeding some niche places.

Best of luck getting your old niché communities back!
