Niche communities you're in that haven't had much interaction? EDIT: Thanks for all your suggestions!
Just curious to see what communities you would like to see more engagement in.
Here's a couple I joined but it's been pretty quiet:
I like this idea. We should make a topic like this every month or so, maybe in the fediverse community, too. Discoverability is so hard on the fediverse.
Agreed, an occasional 'niche community spotlight' post to different meta communities would be great. I've found heaps here I had no idea existed!
There was the subreddit of the day on reddit that was cool to see smaller or obscure ones highlighted. Something like that would be nice on here as well.
I usually try to populate the main ones, even popular ones such as [email protected] or [email protected] don't have that much content.
I'm taking those two as examples because comicstrips usually makes it to Top of All when content is posted, and Europe is potentially appealing to a large audience (326 users a week)
I created [email protected], a community for quad & inline skating. So far there was only a single post from someone other than me. 🥲
I’d also like to go much more niche with a community specifically for wizard skating. But considering the limited popularity of skating communities, there is no need to hurry creating that one.
@smeikx Same with @rollerblading. The sub is pretty big on reddit, but no one is looking for it here, apparently.
I’ll contribute! I ride urban skates myself and have been on ice and inline skates since childhood.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/gWsZYBCc56Q
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Never heard of wizard skating, watching the video now! Pretty interesting.
I went the BMX route, but my flatmate has always wanted to get back into rolling the blades.
[email protected], used to explore it daily on that other site, but now it hardly receives new posts :(
That's a thing?! Closest is me half running xonotic on a rasp pi(fonts didn't load)
Yes it is a thing, and it is a beautiful thing.
My favorite cat sub, [email protected].
Really trying to get [email protected] off the ground
Joined, I've been meaning to get into this since I first heard about it like a decade ago.
Yay! So glad to see this again!!!
This was a fucked up place to learn about.
.. I joined!
Honestly? I'm just wondering why there is noone on league of legends related Communities like [email protected] considering how active r/leagueoflegends was/is
I even posted pictures my entire collection some weeks ago to get things kickstarted but is no moving.
Most of the ones I created;
All of these are largely just me posting! The last two do get occasional posts from others.
Thanks for creating the Lemmings one!
Electronic hobbyist pages for Arduino and Expressif microcontrollers for project help and showcasing protects people are working on:
oo helpful to have, thanks!
Here are some
-
[email protected] - this community was quiet on Reddit as well, which was nice in it's own way. It could use some more content though
-
the various animal communities, like [email protected]
Just subbed to awwducational, love that it's moderated by Nosferatu lol
TheNightFeeling was my primary source of wallpapers on the other website. Thanks for mentioning this one.
I did the exact same, and it works great with dark mode style theming
Subbed to the night feeling!!
Good taste, I'm already subbed to thenightfeeling!
Amazing! I'll post some stuff eventually 😄
-
I created @insect_photography during the migration and it started off nicely. Activity has gone down though so be welcome to just check in if you’re interested or have something to share!
As the name suggests, it’s for fans of Miami Hurricane sport teams. I’m more or less the only poster right now.
[email protected] has been pretty quiet... I miss looking at cool setups and vicariously imagining myself using them.
On a similar note, [email protected] to help turn your vicarious dreams into a reality.
There are not enough single game focused communities, and the ones that do exist either have nobody in them, or are just bots spamming low-effort content that don't garner discussion.
Communities for JRPGs (Japanese role-playing games, like Final Fantasy or Persona).
[email protected] has the most subscribers so far, but the mod at [email protected] has been more active in discussion.
Edit: huh, just noticed the kbin community hasn't updated in a while through my lemmy instance. Known issue maybe?
Maybe due to this bug? https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/875
I created [email protected] and it's got some activity but it could definitely use more!
I'm already subbed but I'll try contribute!
[email protected] - Post pictures of spotted cars that you cannot identify.
[email protected] - for classic car enthusiasts
[email protected] - self-explanatory
[email protected] - Country Music
[email protected] - also self-explanatory, a bit more active than the others. Submit your dashcam footage here of idiot drivers
I dont own/mod any of these but would like to see more people active in them
OHHHH Idiots IN cars!
Not Idiot Sin Cars
[email protected] For all your puckshots.
I'm a big fan of [email protected]
'Does your aviation taste like nail polish remover?'
That was a strange post title to read.
Lol it's like a buzzfeed article
I wanted to post a meme but I remembered it fell into oblivion as I had deleted it from Reddit having had no copies left on my side
the instance is pretty much dead and that means the community is dead also.
The one I created! 😏
sffa.community stands for Science Fiction Fantasy Alliance. It's a small instance focused on Sci-fi and Fantasy in all mediums but its still trying to get on its feet.
Can you post a link to it?
Oh, I thought the link in my comment worked, sorry. https://sffa.community/
I'm hoping the various plushies based communities that were made get more traction. The biggest one seems to be on an instance I've never heard of until now.
Kava!
https://kbin.social/m/genart -> it's a community for sharing and discussing generative art!
Thanks lol I struggled with how to format this link
