Not enough people around to discuss some more niche topics and hobbies.

Specific video game subs are what I miss the most. I used to be very active in r/stalker and r/teslore, r/trueSTL. There is nothing like that here that sees more than one post per month, and I'm not sure that I have the energy to commit to reviving it myself.

[-] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 11 points 1 month ago

Same, same. I miss hobby electronics projects. And some of the communities about AI topics (and more detailed descussion than just the hype) really lost momentum.

Have you tried being more in to US Politics, Linux and Privacy? I've found several very vibrant communities for those here.

[-] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah, I think the main issue with that is both people watching the All feed and then complaining they get to see all the posts about all topics. And also people asking their Linux questions on c/asklemmy and other general purpose communities. I've given up on the US politics, though. That's something we currently all have to go through. Remedy might be a keyword filter or turning off internet and TV for the coming weeks.

I keep hearing this. And I get it. But I think as a community our interests are so niche that we also miss out on more mainstream content I would like to see. For example there’s some prime time network TV shows I watch, there’s comms for them with subscribers but they are not active.

[-] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 6 points 1 month ago

Sure. This wasn't meant to take away from anything else. I think at least theoretically, both can go along. It's just that it's more obvious with the niche things. But probably applies to all of the topics. And there is a demand to discuss all kinds of things and I think we have the potential to let the user decide what they're interested in... Whether that's popular/mainstream or not. It just takes people to talk to to be present... somehow.

Oh I am absolutely not saying you are wrong. I completely agree with you. I’m just saying while there is a lack of niche content there is also a lack of mainstream content. Which might sound contradictory, but I think both can be true at the same time.
