Just wanted to ask: what do you not like in Lemmy (Lemmy as communities, server and clients)?

This is just a way for me to get some feedback from the community.

Reddit used to be niche, things take time

Sure, I'm not surprised since as noted, these are niche interests. I could contribute by posting articles or writing content myself to help it grow.

Dedicated users posting is the best way to slowly grow communities like that. It's much less likely others will post if it seems like a ghost town, but if someone is posting others are much more likely to join in. And at the very least there'll be content to engage with when new people find it.

yeah, for example.... when reddit was beginning they made fake accounts and posted to pretend there were users. Thankfully lemmy/kbin/mastodon etc are past that point, for the most part, but for certain communities I might as well be there talking to myself. I don't mean that as a bad thing!
