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!
The old subreddit r/bestof was great for finding niche communities on Reddit. Maybe a Lemmy version could exist, but aimed specifically at highlighting niche communities and their content?
we do have !newcommunities@lemmy.world
Mystery Science Theatre 3000, like the original reaction videos. A cast of silly people/robot puppets watch a movie and comment on it.
Wow I forgot this existed. I somehow found myself watching one of these as a kid and was SO confused. Haven’t seen one since. I hated it at the time because I just wanted to see the movie. Recommend one to try as an adult?
I usually try to populate the main ones, even popular ones such as !comicstrips@lemmy.world or !europe@feddit.de 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 would love to see more comics on Lemmy. I’ve been using an RSS feed for them
My favorite cat sub, !scrungycats@lemmy.world.
I created !onskates@lemmy.graz.social, 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.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/gWsZYBCc56Q
