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?

I think it’s the demographic and the lack of mass adoption (car people tend to be part of the latter unless they are nerds). Model specific subs were hit and miss. For example, the Porsche sub was awesome but BMW was toxic af and tiring with everybody shitting on the new designs constantly and not contributing to the discussion much beyond that, so I definitely don’t miss it. That said, I think forums like bimmerport and rennlist are going to see an increase in traffic as people leave reddit behind, if Lemmy doesn’t end up absorbing the exodus.
