    Although you’re correct, I find fediverse lacking in the department of the more niche stuff, e.g. fandoms of specific games, communities by geo proximity, obscure hobbies.

    But well, Reddit wasn’t like this from the start and I hope the diversity and smaller communities will be here instead of there with time.

      Former r/fountainpens Reddit refugee here, and I agree 1.5m users doesn’t generate the kind of traffic for my hobby to figure in any sort of way. I miss the engagement

      Yep, I used to be on r/diyhotas and that was already a niche within the HOTAS niche within the simulator game niche 😂

      While I was also part of some niche communities back in the Reddit days, thanks to Lemmy, I switched to Linux and have found interesting new websites, tools and apps. So I’d say overall it’s a net positive.
