We do our best in the /c/games community! It isn't niche by any means, but we have regular posters (including myself) and we have fair engagement on new posts and members also.

Unfortunately as is the nature of most social media, it can only be as active as the users. So for very niche subjects I can't see Lemmy ever being super viable (sadly)

I mean the general groups works in here, but since I only care about 1% of those general themed groups, I really miss the niche forums, where I care about 99% of the posts.
