Do you think Lemmy is going to cover niche topics like this someday?

I swear I’m not trying to promote Reddit, I’m a refugee as many of us here, I just saw this video linked on r/Save3rdPartyApps and it amaze me that many people used Reddit for niche stuff.

So far Lemmy has been great for me, it really scratches the Reddit itch, using Thunder, Voyager, Jerboa and Connect for Lemmy has been a godsend for this site to me (yeah I cycle them all lol) but it is hard for me finding “less popular content”.

I know we are not supposed to lurk to keep improving this site it is hard to stop lurking ngl, I am trying to be more active as many of us do.

Some weeks ago Lemmy wasn’t even a shadow of what it is today, but I wonder if it is gonna get as big to cover those niches that people like.

Candelestine,

Definitely. It’s going to take time though, since we’re directly competing with all those pre-existing specialty subs over there, which complicates things a little.

The beauty of it is that "Lemmy" doesn't have to get big all by itself.

I'm commenting this from kbin.social.

As more people join the fediverse we are going to see more niche instances of lemmy, kbin, all kinds of things. And those niche communities are going to create niche content.

I had never modded before in my life but when I joined the fediverse I made a community for what I want to see, because the fediverse is exciting and I want to be part of what we are doing here. I bet lots of people feel like this!

LEDZeppelin,

Think of Lemmy in 2023 as Reddit in 2005-2007. Reddit didn’t become the Reddit we loved (until a couple of months ago) in a flash.

Even with the wariness of Meta's entrance into the fediverse, Threads gives it legitimacy and spreads awareness. So many people on reddit were saying the fediverse was confusing and that it wouldn't catch on or appeal to the average user. Threads can change that perception, even if the various lemmy instances don't federate with Threads, people will be aware of the existence of other servers, of the technology, and be more willing to branch out.

My dude, be the change you want to see. Start the community, curate what you want to see there, set some ground rules, and people will join you. I guarantee your interests are shared with others.
