When I was on Reddit I felt like my opinion didn’t matter. But here it just feels more open and free.
Those niche communities you are missing? Recreate them here, and invite people over there to join.
I would if I had the time to get things off the ground and moderate in the beginning. I wouldn’t want to throw up an instance and then just leave it on its own.
I am not sure if my current server allows for instance creation, since I did not prioritise that when choosing it.
Most of those I am missing are also very picture heavy, now that I think about it. Like constant streams of pictures rather than text posts, which might not be the best for lemmy right now? I imagine it would increase load way faster than text posts do.
I will check through the community finder again later and see which topics might have gotten an instance in the mean time. It has been two weeks since I last checked.
