Are there really so few car enthusiasts on this site? This sub seems to have such little traffic. What gives? (lemmy.world)

Coming from Reddit, there were multiple car-related subs and they all saw some fairly heavy traffic with lots of posts and comments. Heck, even some of the model-specific ones seem to get more interaction than this sub does. What's the deal?

For me, a category as broad as this one is unappealing. I love all sorts of cars but rarely what's posted in a car such as this. "Air-cooled VWs", "off-roading" or "vintage and patina" is right up my alley but there's a bunch that's not.

The problem with that is there are even fewer users in those types of groups

But if a broad category as "cars" gets little traffic, I can't even imagine how dead a sub that's focused on "pink VW 7 window buses from Wyoming" would get.

Yeah me too, but in these early days your participation will increase ... participation, and with numbers, lonely you will become 2, 3, 10, ...
