Because I want Lemmy to succeed and grow, I'm making a real effort to contribute to discussions where previously I'd have just thought things to myself and moved on. I really hope more people do the same so we can start to sustain those more niche forums.

That’s the job of you and me.

That's too many subscribers anyway. 90% of the comments would've just been buried and no one would've seen them

Yes, but you're still right. The niche content isn't there and won't be until the user base reaches critical mass, which might never happen.

I wouldn't know if it's an original post because I don't use Reddit.
