Did you make this just because your other post got downvoted?

Sorting by new in this community, it's the only one that's negative.

Seems like that specific post is what people didn't like

No, I don't really care about that post, just curious about the lack of activity on this community for a topic that could potentially be popular.

I assumed it's just not that interesting for most of the Lemmy demographics, which seems to be what the comments are saying

I mean yeah.

Maybe because I blocked a lot.of the meme subs, but Lemmy skews older, and people in their 30s/40s don't care about fashion.

But like you said in another comment, the only mod seems to have quit Lemmy. So why try to build a community like that? If you're interested ask an admin if you can take it. If it takes off, they'll ask someone to take over when unanswered reports stack up. That's how I became a mod actually, someone randomly reached out and asked if I wanted an abandoned sub that still got traffic (and a lot of reports).

You also mentioned starting a new sub.

I'd suggest just flat out fashion, the user base is small, it doesn't need chopped up into super small categories. Shit, most fashion for men or women tends to boil down to "how to attract who you want to attract".

Like, I just don't think many straight men care what other straight men think of their clothes. That alone is a much smaller subset of men than what care about male fashion.
