Just curious to see what communities you would like to see more engagement in.

Here's a couple I joined but it's been pretty quiet:

!kava@lemmy.ml !deadmalls@lemmy.world

Agreed, an occasional 'niche community spotlight' post to different meta communities would be great. I've found heaps here I had no idea existed!

The old subreddit r/bestof was great for finding niche communities on Reddit. Maybe a Lemmy version could exist, but aimed specifically at highlighting niche communities and their content?

There was the subreddit of the day on reddit that was cool to see smaller or obscure ones highlighted. Something like that would be nice on here as well.
