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

I like this idea. We should make a topic like this every month or so, maybe in the fediverse community, too. Discoverability is so hard on the fediverse.

    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?

    I usually try to populate the main ones, even popular ones such as !comicstrips@lemmy.world or !europe@feddit.de don't have that much content.

    I'm taking those two as examples because comicstrips usually makes it to Top of All when content is posted, and Europe is potentially appealing to a large audience (326 users a week)

    I would love to see more comics on Lemmy. I've been using an RSS feed for them

    I created !onskates@lemmy.graz.social, a community for quad & inline skating. So far there was only a single post from someone other than me. πŸ₯²

    I’d also like to go much more niche with a community specifically for wizard skating. But considering the limited popularity of skating communities, there is no need to hurry creating that one.

    Honestly? I'm just wondering why there is noone on league of legends related Communities like !league@lemmy.ml considering how active r/leagueoflegends was/is

    Sadly most gaming communities transferred to Discord. Even lol subreddit is losing users.

    When did Discord become a social network? I've only ever used it to talk with friends while playing.

    As people got the hang of using Discord to make large, complex, moderated and bot assisted servers people communicate more heavily on there.

    Discord moves too fast for me to want to use it that way, all conversations disappear rapidly on busy servers, but other people certainly do

    I think the communities that moved there weren't posting the same types of content. When someone wants to ask a question you just get an answer, no back and forth or debates needed. That doesn't work when you're posting a news articles looking for lively debate.

    I created @insect_photography during the migration and it started off nicely. Activity has gone down though so be welcome to just check in if you’re interested or have something to share!

    Most of the ones I created;

    !teletext@fedia.io

    !yoursinclair@retrolemmy.com

    !dtt@feddit.uk

    !dabradio@feddit.uk

    !beds@feddit.uk

    !chiptune@fedia.io

    !lemmings@lemmings.world

    All of these are largely just me posting! The last two do get occasional posts from others.

    There are not enough single game focused communities, and the ones that do exist either have nobody in them, or are just bots spamming low-effort content that don't garner discussion.

    !miamihurricanes@fanaticus.social

    As the name suggests, it’s for fans of Miami Hurricane sport teams. I’m more or less the only poster right now.

    !battlestations@lemmy.ml has been pretty quiet... I miss looking at cool setups and vicariously imagining myself using them.

    I created !15minutecity@slrpnk.net and it's got some activity but it could definitely use more!

    Communities for JRPGs (Japanese role-playing games, like Final Fantasy or Persona).

    !JRPGs@kbin.social has the most subscribers so far, but the mod at !jrpg@lemmy.zip has been more active in discussion.

    Edit: huh, just noticed the kbin community hasn't updated in a while through my lemmy instance. Known issue maybe?

    !admincraft@l.matestmc.ru

    the instance is pretty much dead and that means the community is dead also.
