there's no communities for my niche interests!!!
more like "i want a ready-made community where other people already putting effort into posting cool and intersting stuff, and all I want to do is sit on my ass and shower posts generously with """muh upvotes™""""
You're viewing a single thread.
I wish instead that people would post in the general communities first, then spin off into a new community if there is interest.
Like, we don't need a whole community for the new Dragon Age game or whatever, but we do have a games community that would benefit from the post. Then if there are 20 Dragon Age posts every day it could obviously support it's own community.
This. All of us Reddit Refugees (me included) fucked up when we arrived and put the cart before the horse. Lemmy is like a small town; you may simply not get all the specific communities you want, but there's probably somebody with a similar enough interest that they'll talk to you about the stuff you like, and they probably have things that you would like to talk about if you saw it. Higher-level categories should do fine unless and until a certain type of content starts to annoy other users by its sheer prevalence.
As someone else said, Lemmy is the niche community.
Yeah, there's no use in speed-running Reddit.
Let's make our own thing.
I've been pondering orbs, don't know what y'all are doing.
Mostly stuff with beans.
So true, we were trying to shape lemmy into reddit so much that we skipped few steps like this which even reddit had to go through.
Hey speaking of, while [email protected] is a great example, if you're not finding similar communities for your interest, feel free to post over in [email protected] for what Zombiepirate's describing.
Hobby without a community around here? Just not really sure if an existing community is open to non-news posts? General's got ya covered.
