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.
23 0 ReplyAgreed, an occasional 'niche community spotlight' post to different meta communities would be great. I've found heaps here I had no idea existed!
10 0 ReplyThere 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.
4 0 ReplyThe 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?

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)
16 0 ReplyI would love to see more comics on Lemmy. I've been using an RSS feed for them
6 0 ReplyIf think in that case using a bot would make sense

My favorite cat sub, !scrungycats@lemmy.world.
13 0 ReplyI 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.
12 0 Reply@smeikx Same with @rollerblading. The sub is pretty big on reddit, but no one is looking for it here, apparently.
7 0 ReplyI’ll contribute! I ride urban skates myself and have been on ice and inline skates since childhood.
7 0 ReplyHere 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.
2 0 ReplyNever 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.

!theNightFeeling@lemmy.world - 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 !awwducational@lemmy.world
10 0 ReplyTheNightFeeling was my primary source of wallpapers on the other website. Thanks for mentioning this one.

Honestly? I'm just wondering why there is noone on league of legends related Communities like !league@lemmy.ml considering how active r/leagueoflegends was/is
10 0 ReplySadly most gaming communities transferred to Discord. Even lol subreddit is losing users.

As the name suggests, it’s for fans of Miami Hurricane sport teams. I’m more or less the only poster right now.
7 0 ReplyThere 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.
7 0 Reply!whatisthiscar@lemmy.world - Post pictures of spotted cars that you cannot identify.
!oldcars@kbin.social - for classic car enthusiasts
!swimming@lemmy.world - self-explanatory
!countrymusic@lemmy.world - Country Music
!idiotsincars@lemmy.world - also self-explanatory, a bit more active than the others. Submit your dashcam footage here of idiot drivers

Communities for JRPGs (Japanese role-playing games, like Final Fantasy or Persona).
!JRPGs@kbin.social has the most subscribers so far, but the mod at !jrpg@lemmy.zip 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?
6 0 ReplyMaybe due to this bug? https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/875
