Personally I use reddit a lot more than lemmy. My interests aren't well represented here on lemmy. Still come here sometimes though.
Yeah I'm trying to stick to Lemmy, but all the communities I joined when I signed up turned out to be dead. :/
im guessing most of them left or moved back to reddit for the same reason. more and more people wouldve have to get banned on reddit for them to come here, its just too addicting.
Yeah. And I spent a while posting prolifically to them, but without comments, and without new posts, it's kinda pointless. I want to see OTHER people's content.
What interests in particular do you think aren't well represented?
an online card game, niche sub like a more extensive whatisthisthing, medical conditions(experiences not asking for diagnosis, but it almost always ends up is it this?), Specific youtube channels not the big youtubers but niche ones you probably never heard of it.
location based communities, that hasnt been taken over by holier than thou people.
Artwork, hobbies, videos, cooking, health. Some of these are present in some form on here but not to significant volume or to my particular tastes. And many more things that have no presence on Lemmy at all.
Yeah, I ask because I'd really like to start moderating or contributing to some type of community that is very popular outside of Lemmy but not currently on Lemmy much. Art seems like a good one. Cooking too potentially. I wonder what would bring the most new visitors to Lemmy?
