Not enough people for even slightly niche communities. Wanna talk about smash brothers ? 732 people, only 2 posts in the last month.
This is why people still use reddit on the side.
Why not create a community? We even have a community to promote communities https://lemmy.ca/c/communitypromo and we have couple others too.
This is exactly why I don't use Reddit on the side. When I run out of content on Lemmy, there's no choice but to do something productive instead. Had to go 100% cold turkey on Reddit to make that work though.
Exactly. I have a 1.5 hour daily time limit on Voyager, my Lemmy client, and I hit it every day, no problem. I do miss some of the niche subs but, every time I go back to ask a quick question, so many people are just so goddamned mean that I'm still very happy I left.
Oh yeah the community is 1000% better and healthier, I don't miss Reddit at all. Plus I'm a child of the 70s, I grew up with limited content. It's good for you.
Summer was not meant for being productive.
slightly niche
Sports is like the most mainstream of interests, and lemmy still doesn't have a critical mass of sports discussion in general, much less specific sports/leagues, specific teams, specific games/matches, or specific players.
So I keep my reddit sports account.
I also keep an account for my local city subreddit, and one for my career field, because Lemmy doesn't have those either.
I'm the main poster on !football@sopuli.xyz. Most popular post on the planet.
I guess people on Lemmy just don't like sports.
I'll subscribe, since it's about the real kind of football (the one that's played with your feet, and a ball. Not an egg, and your hands)
I've been trying to get into sports. Always enjoyed parricipating sports, never tried watching.
Welcome!
Hell even !music@lemmy.world (as far as I can tell, the biggest one on the platform) only has like 10k subs, like a dozen posts today, and basically all of the posts were people just advertising music. Zero discussion.
Even for things i would think are big, the communities here are still vanishingly small. I joined reddit in like 2014 and even back then it was more popular than Lemmy is now
I see good discussions on
Not really into music myself, I guess the issue might be that it's too generic? Even on Reddit I don't think /r/music was that busy, too many different genres
!television@lemmy.world only has 11 posts in the last 24 hrs and !movies@lemmy.world only has 7...
Not sure why you referenced the LW version when I mentioned the piefed.social ones, but

Number of posts themselves isn't really that relevant, comments are usually a more interesting metric.
