Usually niche communities are on their own corner of the Fediverse and rarely make it to All
The startrek comes to mind as a good example, and all the ttrpg communities too.
Are there some examples of niche communities you usually follow?
Nah he's right. I follow fighting games which are practically dead on lemmy, manga which is growing and has posts and votes now but still never has comments, etc. At least the tech stuff is an interest for me, unlike him.
That's true, but people will get there. It will be a long process for people to arrive in enough numbers so that we have the same level of content as Reddit, but it's going to happen eventually, seen how fast Reddit is ruining itself.
For anime, I guess you follow !anime@lemmy.ml ? It is much more active than the lemmy.world one.
Fighting games will still be on Reddit indeed.
!moviesandtv@lemmy.film is a good example of thematic community which is quite active
I don't follow anime, I specifically prefer reading. I'm not the guy who initially commented btw, and I've been using lemmy before sync. As a 14 year redditor I'm well aware of what growth will look like for lemmy.
I see, well I hope you'll have a good time enough despite the growing small content
I'm just gonna list almost all of the subreddits I had faved in the hope someone knows at least something. Though i am not that hopeful. :/

Check subrehab and make sure to search Lemmy verse for communities since your instance search only shows ones someone there is already subscribed to.
Thanks, I'll try that!
I see, quite niche indeed.
There are still a few, though.
For Solarpunk, you have the whole slrpnk.net instances with several communities such as !solarpunk@slrpnk.net
!lego@lemmy.ml exists but is quite quiet.
The rest is indeed probably too niche. These communities won't happen here until we have a more stable platform (which Sync contributes to), with moderation tools, RES-like navigation etc.
Then, we'll probably be able to suggest to some communities to massively move here. That could work, and even if it's only a few, that would already be a victory to keep away from what Reddit has become.
In the meantime, I just think that a lot of Lemmy users keep an eye on Reddit for such communities.
Yeah, I know some of them are really niche, and centered around common experiences, not a piece of IP, which are usually communities that really profit from being in one place. I'll surely check out solarpunk tho. Thanks!
Enjoy!
