    Reddit refuge here.

    I do miss all the niche subreddits. As the saying goes, “there’s a subreddit for everything.”

    But I think with time, Lemmy can grow to fill that gap.

      You gotta Field of Dreams it. I’m doing it for LV426/the Aliens universe. Just treat it like you’re starting a forum or a newsletter and, hopefully in time, others will contribute and it’ll grow organically.

        I’m trying to figure that out but I I have to make my own server? Or is it a sub on lemmy.world? There definitely a learning curve

          You don’t have to make your own server (unless you really want to!). Just start a community on a server you like.

          The one catch is that others can start a community of the same name and/or interest on another server and that gets a little confusing because then there are two, of course.

          I wish that communities could “federate” with each other from different instances but then that raises a bunch of logistics issues about how this is moderated, how is this presented to the users, etc.

          In my case I’m just posting a lot to already-created communities found in the Lemmy directory that’ve got a chunk of subscribers.

          If you’re going to start your own community for your own interest, I’d advise at least setting up on an already-populated Lemmy server (which you would have to be registered on) so it gets listed in the local directory.

          If you’re going to host the Lemmy server and your community, I have no experience on that front/I would imagine there’s a lot of SEO and self-promotion you’d have to do to get it off the ground.

      Yeah I’ve been on Lemmy maybe 2 years or so now? I find myself going back for the subreddits of my interest. But I will try to start posting here more.

      Ultimately I believe in the fediverse despite all of its growing pains.

      It’ll take awhile to grow those niche communities.

      I have no doubt we will!

      While we still doesn’t have all kinds of active niche communities over here, it is incredible how much the community has grown since I first came here. And that’s not really all that long ago.

      Thanks for joining us! :)

      These days I go 50/50 on Reddit and Lemmy. I know it’s a chicken and egg problem for content, but hopefully 50% usage is enough to change things over time.
