Tbh I'm not super down with lemmy yet. It feel like too much like an r/all experience with very little users. Most of my feed at reddit was very niche communities that either connected me to people like myself or gave me a window in the lives of people totally unlike myself. Here I see some news, redditbashing or meta comments about lemmy and a lot of technology/privacy content that I'm just not interested in. Even if I find niche communities, they have no posts. Maybe this will get better over time, but I'm not sure if I'll stick around for that long.
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
