Is communities discovery really that bad, do we just miss enough people, or should people revisit their expectations and go for more general communities? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Kind of a companion thread to the recent one on [email protected] asking people which community there were missing.

I had a quick look, and most of those seem to be niches that can't be filled until we reach a higher population.

There is still maybe some potential improvement about some less well-known community that other people are interested in and that could some additional activity.

I try to help to make less known communities known with the regular threads on [email protected] (now moving to [email protected] ), but there is probably only a level of detail we have to stop at with 47k monthly active users.

One example is [email protected], it seems reasonable active, and is probably a better compromise than having each game having its own community.

Similar with [email protected], or [email protected]. I posted a thread about Ted Lasso a few days ago, it got some nice comments, but probably not enough to have a full fledged dedicated community.

Finding active community is bad with how you might get multiple results that don't have much activity giving impression it is dead for niche communities.

Might help if there was some collaboration between those type of communities redirecting to the "main" community to find activity.
