Less any one single community and more that I'd love to see more activity in the niche hobby communities.

IDC whether its woodworking, quilting, indie games, card stacking, underwater basket weaving, or anything in between. I want to see more things people have made themselves, and more open conversations about how to do things.

Show me what you made so I can celebrate it and maybe learn how to do something new!

Just subscribed to all 3! There's a good amount of communities out there, but I'd love to see more content!

Well, that makes quite a bit more sense!

Not really, if they went abandoned it's probably because they were too niche. Very niche communities should generally try to join a more generic community to avoid over reliance on a single poster.

!fedigrow@lemmy.zip for people wanting to grow communities.

Hmmm so the only way to grow is to post on other social media platforms about fediverse?

Yeah, not a bad idea.

For promoting the Fediverse to other people there is !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com

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

Everett True comics: !truecomics@midwest.social

it's kinda frustrating bc all you need to do is go to one of the sources here:
https://lemmy.world/comment/12653544 grab a cartoon, and post. Many posts got well over 100 upvotes. Unfortunately I'm maxed out on how much I can currently contribute to things.

Definitely !longevity@mander.xyz and (ironically) !cryonics@lemmy.world. This is literally a matter of life and death!

Also for the language !esperanto@sopuli.xyz and my home country !slovakia@sopuli.xyz, but revival there is already kind of happening.

!mahjong@lemmy.nerdcore.social

Sadly I think I might be the only person here who plays.

[–] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I play, but I just have no idea how I would go about discussing mahjong.

[–] missingno@fedia.io 1 points 1 day ago

Same stuff that gets discussed on the other site: strategy analysis, log reviews, What Would You Discard, M-League, news, etc.
