I like that the admins have decided on quality over quantity when it comes to communities. For example, there is only one gaming community instead of breaking everyone into several smaller subsets. It increases interaction and exposes you to other subtopics that might spark your interest.
I hope moving forward they continue with this approach!

Yup. Too specialized and niche = sad and alone.
It’s like walking into a party and announcing “I will only be friends with left-handed dental hygienists who are over 5 foot 8 and like sushi!” vs “Hello, everyone!”
<glances sadly at the ukulele community on Lemmy.ml>
Say, do you have an interest in ukulele, perchance? Maybe? Even slight? Sigh…
