What is a niche interest or hobby you'd personally like to see represented more on Lemmy
For example, I used to follow a lot of subreddits for individual YouTube content creators, however, Lemmy doesn’t really have the size or culture to support this currently.
Aerial arts - silks, trapeze, flying pole, lyra, straps, custom apparatus like cubes/chairs etc. Anything about doing artistic acrobatics on a piece of metal/fabric/other suspended in the air. The community on reddit was the perfect size but pretty much none of them came over to lemmy.
There is not much Lemmy communities for discussion specific/centered around specific entertainment media (video games, anime & manga, web videos, etc)
Back when I’m still on Reddit, I’m used to lurking around a lot of these kind of communities on that site. Community centered around video game franchise like The Legend of Zelda and Sonic the Hedgehog, content creators like Linus Tech Tips and Hololive, and even some niche topics like Windows 10 LTSC and Otonokizaka
Those kinds of subreddits simply doesn’t have any equivalent in Lemmy, and even if it did, it is far far more inactive compared to its Reddit counterpart. To me that is one of the biggest problem with Lemmy right now and kinda could be a reason why there is still many user who sticked into Reddit and does not 100% migrated to Lemmy.
I’m pretty sure the hololive community is active here.
It’s also a pretty self fulfilling prophecy but I get what you’re saying. Hopefully the new scaling sort gets more popular as instances upgrade to 0.19. I’ve seen so many more smaller communities since I’ve started browsing by that.
Even league of legends, a huge game worldwide, barely has a community here.
Yeah I do aware that there is a Lemmy alternative to the Hololive subreddit, but the amount of active users and content available there is still aren’t enough to consider it a viable replacement for its Reddit counterpart

Agreed completely. I still have to go back to Reddit regularly becuase its the only place for discussion for a lot of my interests. For example, War Thunder, despite being a massive game, only gets a post or two a month here (all recent ones by me) and zero activity beyond that. I can’t even go to the forum, because they ban anyone who criticizes the game or says anything they disagree with. That leaves me with just Reddit, so I’m stuck going back regularly.

Have tried posting about an alternative forum on Reddit, that allows third party apps? I’ve done that after messaging the mods in some communities, some of them were quite receptive
