          This place is pretty neat and I’d like to see it become more active. If there’s enough demand for a community about a topic I know a fair bit about, I might just start it, or at least hope to encourage others to do the same 🙂

            TBH I think it needs more mods/participants in existing communities before it starts sharding into more.

            In other words, it’s the same problem I observe in many software dev communities: instead of building a new wheel, it’d be better to contribute to existing ones (and facilitate that discovery for others).

            And, on that note, I think Lemmy needs better default algorithms to surface them.

              A big chunk of my time on reddit was just chatting with sports fans in local team subs during games and in league wide subs about current events.

                Niche interests. Unfortunately Lemmy doesn't have enough of a population to get enough people/content for specific niches. Some things I specifically followed on Reddit were: fight stick controllers, Street Fighter 6, Wildrift game, dad/parenting communities, SBC gaming. On Lemmy there either isn't any activity at all for these, or too little to have regular content.

                  If Fedibridge becomes more active, it could help fuel more users and the rest will follow

                    There is a TIFU community and nobody posts there

                    Seems like people on Lemmy are too competent for it 😞

                      rpg ones both mmo and pnp. I wish the communities were here. I also wish orgs would run their own domains for their members. like the world science fiction society or local makerspaces.

                        By FediBridge, do you mean connecting different parts of the fediverse? Could you explain how it’s done?

                          I've been posting things I find interesting to [email protected]. I'm trying to grow it as a community that can have conversations about a broad range of interesting topics, without having to subscribe to a bunch of narrowly-focused communities. Think something like Hacker News or lobste.rs, but without the tech bro mindset.

                            Data hoarding. [email protected] exists but there isn't much activity.

                              I just want the user base to grow enough to support small niche communities.

                              That was Reddit at its best and Lemmy just doesn’t have the user base to support it yet

                                The kind of communities that hand out free sex, drugs, cash or scotch. I'm a simple man.

                                  Philosophy or at least philosophy memes.

                                  Also, more signposting and less doom. All of my algorithms are so depressing already.

                                    I wish people would crosspost more or link to other related communities.

                                      We have enough memes and politics and definitely US politics for three lifetimes.

                                      Here's a bunch that I enjoyed, or wish for, or just found by browsing the community list:

                                      • [email protected] and local country subs in English

                                      • [email protected] - Included mostly because I had a chuckle from the name, but I'd be interested for real too

                                        I've tried to post a few things in the TTRPG communities and they rarely get many comments. It's disheartening.

                                          yeah I just a bit ago did a post that was sorta a life check. It really surprises me as I always thought of the communities as heavily geek which I would think would appeal to being here. I would expect by the time I came to something like this subjects like that would be well represented.
