Yeah, it's not even niche topics, it's almost everything outside of technology. Almost all of the creative communities I used to follow on Reddit have practically no associated activity on the Fediverse. None of the photography communities have really picked up on Lemmy/Kbin either.

There's some photographers over on Pixelfed but finding content or accounts to follow is pretty bad. I follow maybe a handful of people whose photos I like to look at, and the only mechanism to find good noteworthy accounts is the trending section - which I check daily but it's mostly the same handful of people everyday. Scrolling to the public feed or trying to follow generic photography hashtags mostly nets me memes, porn and random pics which aren't photography at all.

I stopped going to Reddit as much, came over here, after a few weeks I'm not using this as much anymore either, so I'm mostly trying to do more useful things with the time. Though I'm sad that I've lost a few communities in the way.
