I read articles like these: https://blog.bloonface.com/2023/06/12/why-did-the-twittermigration-fail/

And I'm like: okay, how do we prove this person wrong? All suggestions welcome - how do you get people INTO the fediverse?

Lol sorry how rude of me.

I think niche communities are a result of platform size, and trying to force it too early doesn't really work. What we can do is make sure the slightly-less-niche-but-still-fun communities that already exist are looking nice and active and welcoming ready for whenever there's a new wave of users, and the niche splinter groups will come with time.

Very true, maybe we’ll see sites dedicated to these niche groups connect their own instances?
