Lemmy W. I hope more people join.
Why?
I kinda like how I often quickly run out of new interesting posts to comment on, but there is enough that I can have engaging conversations.
The more people that come the more it gets watered down. Not that I am gatekeeping, people can do as they like. Just I am happy right now.
Edit: Curious about the downvotes. Considering I explicitly said I’m not trying to gate keep and people can do as they please.
I wouldn't find twice the number of people, so that a few niche communities get more activity.
!football@lemmy.world for instance is pretty quiet with how popular the sport is.
Also a few "real life" communities like !parenting@lemmy.world and !personalfinance@lemmy.ml would benefit from more activity
I just subbed to all three of those.
I find half the battle here is finding new places to sub to. I’ll browse all but always forget to sub to new ones I see.
I think for sports, it’s difficult as it seems most of us early adopters here are, well let’s say nerdier than the average, and as a rule tend to follow sport less.
Even me, I wouldn’t go out of my way to watch sport, aside from the olympics. But as an introvert that had a shitty home life I learnt quickly how to be a fake extrovert and thus had a lot of friends and so got surrounded by sport and stuff.
!newcommunities@lemmy.world and !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl might be useful to you
indeed.
Because almost all niche topic communities that i am interested in have very few people posting. The niche topics were also what made reddit interesting to me, i hardly ever browsed all there.
The hardware communities are not active enough. We need more people who are interested in niche topics
