Very true, and at the same time it shows the power of algorithms on mainstream platforms.
I created a couple of Lemmy communities because I wanted an alternative to Reddit’s pretty popular ones. And without crowd management, ads, paid keywords on google and algorithms nothing actually hint people from the fediverse there.
Only a voluntary research on Lemmy shows the communities efficiently. That’s a pretty steep first step to get to niche communities.
You indeed have to actively promote it, or join a more generalist community
