Are there really so few car enthusiasts on this site? This sub seems to have such little traffic. What gives? (self.cars)

Coming from Reddit, there were multiple car-related subs and they all saw some fairly heavy traffic with lots of posts and comments. Heck, even some of the model-specific ones seem to get more interaction than this sub does. What's the deal?

I think a lot of us were just lurkers or introverts. The thought of a broad audience can be a bit nerve-racking. I was active in the small WRX subreddit before all this, but never posted to any "main" subs.

That said the community here is indeed very small so once we get over the "ah general community = too many people" feeling there will be more posts. True for myself at least.

The /WRX subreddit had more traffic than the entire car sub gets on Lemmy.
