niche communities that don’t exist on lemmy.

There are some pretty basic communities that are non existent or dead on Lemmy and I hate it

This is the reason. I can get all the Linux discussion I want on Lemmy, but discussions about an Acura RSX? That community does not exist here.

There is zero car talk on Lemmy and it fucking sucks ass.

There are definitely high-IQ car guys and they are soul of car forums/reddits. But based on my observation of the diagnostic and critical thinking skills of the other 90%, they are probably never going to figure out how to use Lemmy.

And somehow we need both types (maybe for sample size?) in order to have a thriving niche community about anything.

Yeah... I also miss doom-scrolling unixporn and ergomechkeyboards in here.

Who the hell uses Reddit for porn?

A lot of people dont use an app at all, much less third party apps, so the whole thing was lost on them to begin with, if they were even aware of it.
