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:
There 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.
Electronic hobbyist pages for Arduino and Expressif microcontrollers for project help and showcasing protects people are working on:
oo helpful to have, thanks!
I wanted to post a meme but I remembered it fell into oblivion as I had deleted it from Reddit having had no copies left on my side
Most of the ones I created;
All of these are largely just me posting! The last two do get occasional posts from others.
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.
Agreed, an occasional ‘niche community spotlight’ post to different meta communities would be great. I’ve found heaps here I had no idea existed!
There 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.
Here are some
-
[email protected] - 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 [email protected]
-
the instance is pretty much dead and that means the community is dead also.
I’m hoping the various plushies based communities that were made get more traction. The biggest one seems to be on an instance I’ve never heard of until now.
Communities for JRPGs (Japanese role-playing games, like Final Fantasy or Persona).
[email protected] has the most subscribers so far, but the mod at [email protected] 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?
Honestly? I’m just wondering why there is noone on league of legends related Communities like [email protected] considering how active r/leagueoflegends was/is
Sadly most gaming communities transferred to Discord. Even lol subreddit is losing users.
When did Discord become a social network? I’ve only ever used it to talk with friends while playing.
As people got the hang of using Discord to make large, complex, moderated and bot assisted servers people communicate more heavily on there.
Discord moves too fast for me to want to use it that way, all conversations disappear rapidly on busy servers, but other people certainly do
I created [email protected], 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.
Yay! So glad to see this again!!!
sffa.community stands for Science Fiction Fantasy Alliance. It’s a small instance focused on Sci-fi and Fantasy in all mediums but its still trying to get on its feet.
Can you post a link to it?
Oh, I thought the link in my comment worked, sorry. https://sffa.community/
