Kind of a companion thread to the recent one on [email protected] asking people which community there were missing.
I had a quick look, and most of those seem to be niches that can’t be filled until we reach a higher population.
There is still maybe some potential improvement about some less well-known community that other people are interested in and that could some additional activity.
I try to help to make less known communities known with the regular threads on [email protected] (now moving to [email protected] ), but there is probably only a level of detail we have to stop at with 47k monthly active users.
One example is [email protected], it seems reasonable active, and is probably a better compromise than having each game having its own community.
Similar with [email protected], or [email protected]. I posted a thread about Ted Lasso a few days ago, it got some nice comments, but probably not enough to have a full fledged dedicated community.
My reflex moving over was to subscribe to everything I’m interested in and never use all, because I’ve never used it on reddit.
This created a problem where since lemmy’s sorting all basically sort by most popular (except scaled but that sort is problematic for other reasons), I basically only saw the meme and news communities I subscribed to on my feed and the niche stuff never made it.
I know @[email protected] is working on an algorithmic alternative [email protected] but it’s not got support on any apps.
have you tried Scaled sort? I use Scaled for my subscribed feed and it does a great job showing new posts in niche communities
Yes, I have several accounts due to that issue. Comes back to the lack of personal feeds mentioned elsewhere.
