Kind of a companion thread to the recent one on [email protected] asking people which community there were missing.

I had a quick look, and most of those seem to be niches that can’t be filled until we reach a higher population.

There is still maybe some potential improvement about some less well-known community that other people are interested in and that could some additional activity.

I try to help to make less known communities known with the regular threads on [email protected] (now moving to [email protected] ), but there is probably only a level of detail we have to stop at with 47k monthly active users.

One example is [email protected], it seems reasonable active, and is probably a better compromise than having each game having its own community.

Similar with [email protected], or [email protected]. I posted a thread about Ted Lasso a few days ago, it got some nice comments, but probably not enough to have a full fledged dedicated community.

    Not being able to create your own custom feeds is also a massive problem because you can’t split your feed into types like memes/news/discussions/meta etc.

    Summit can do this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idunnololz.summit&hl=en_US

    They call it a “multi-community”

    Low traffic communities get buried in your feed when you subscribe to them

    I use Subscribed+Scaled sort to fix this issue, it’s my default sort method

      Makes me sad that it’s not open source but I will try it in a moment. The link you gave me doesn’t provide a download so I’m grabbing the app from github.
