The birding community is active enough for me. Honestly, I dont want modern day reddit experience in my niche communities. Theyre… Disrespectful? Lots of armchair experts who parrot internet takes and philosophies to get massive upvotes, and the hive mind mentality downvotes counter perspective. I love fly fishing, but damn do I hate the fly fishing subreddits.
I’ll agree to that. Hobby communities on reddit are typically newbies repeating information they read elsewhere on repeat. I’ve been playing high level hockey since I was a kid and I’ll take a peak at the hockey players subreddit. I saw a guy who had been playing for a year telling someone who was brand new to the sport about kick points on a stick. This guy will never reach a level where kick points are something that will affect your shot, but he’s out here giving advice.
Don’t even get me started on the cycling subreddit.
Yep, I remember when I first joined Lemmy, you’d be lucky if your post got 2 comments. I recently posted on a car group here and got about as much engagement as I would have on r*ddit.
I like it here, I like our community. Feels like a comic con in a small city. “I wish people at this con would talk about Squirrel Girl” maybe you should set up a booth. Same applies here.
How much are you posting about RVs and sailing on Lemmy?
We can yell into the abyss all we want, but the abyss isn’t yelling back.
I made a couple baseball buddies on Lemmy. Niche communities on Lemmy aren’t pointless.
I’ll agree to that. It’s just the first part where you are the only person sucks. Specifically with local communities.
I’m ok with expressing my opinions into the void on Lemmy and nobody listening. They weren’t actually listening on reddit anyway.
Very valid point.

Our niche interest communities are slowly being formed on the Fediverse, but if nobody participates then 🤷🏼♀️

reddit Reddit Reddit reddit.
Wtf does censoring it do?
Ever tried getting the stick removed from your ass?
You could answer the question
But if you yell into the abyss this may cause someone to yell back
That’s how I met my friend Mephistopheles Mammon when I was in the Parisian catacombs. Dude owes me $50.
