Trying to build critical mass for small communities (self.fediverse)

Hi, I'm focusing on generating content for a few communities that I feel can be successful and have less content than I expected:

EDIT: I did not create any of those communities

I would encourage anyone to participate if you like those topics.

Do you know any other niche-but-not-too-niche communities in which we could focus efforts?
Please, don't post very long lists, I'm already subscribed to almost 300 communities and the idea is to focus on a few ones.

Thanks!

EDIT: Added descriptions for each community.

Indeed, that's one of the most promising ones... and it still only has 2 or 3 posts a day :/.

I mean, people have lives too I guess :)

I didn't mean that I expect the same user to be posting all day. If different users send 1 post each, they still should have a lot of time for other things :)

For sure, but I am at 500 posts on my main account, and to be honest posting so much content can sometimes be a bit tiring. I'm trying to get other people on my community to do it too but it's not that easy.

posting so much content can sometimes be a bit tiring.

Agree. What I'm doing (in case it helps) is, instead of going for quantity, go for quality and try to focus the efforts on a few communities that interest me. That way I am posting about things I really like in just a few places and it doesn't become a chore.

I'm trying to get other people on my community to do it too but it's not that easy.

Indeed, it's HARD. This is one of the reasons I haven't created a community yet, it seems too much effort-VS-results-ratio. I know I'm taking the easy path because I'm not so invested in any specific community. So thanks to all of you who create and moderate all the communities.

Definitely!
