MODERATORS
Because there is an actual user base for niche interests. Lemmy is great but doesn't have nearly enough users to support communities for a lot of topics.
In fact you don't even have to get too niche to find that a topic is non-existent on lemmy. Sports for example.
Especially hyper local communities.
Yep. Not a lot of call for Loud Bang or Penis Owl memes on Lemmy.
Lemmy is great and that's the only place I'm posting.
But yeah, if I'm looking for a past conversation on a niche topic, I'll probably find something to read on reddit.
I had to go back to get Pokémon Fire Ash working on my R36 emulator. That was literally the only place I could find any information and I still had to do a bunch of debugging after getting the starting point. Then I interacted helping another set of people stuck at the same spot. Only found it through startpage, not Reddits search
