I'm asking new joiners because I know it can be confusing at first to see issues with content discoverability, instances unavailability, people migrating accounts, etc.

Usually niche communities are on their own corner of the Fediverse and rarely make it to All

The startrek comes to mind as a good example, and all the ttrpg communities too.

Are there some examples of niche communities you usually follow?

Nah he's right. I follow fighting games which are practically dead on lemmy, manga which is growing and has posts and votes now but still never has comments, etc. At least the tech stuff is an interest for me, unlike him.

That's true, but people will get there. It will be a long process for people to arrive in enough numbers so that we have the same level of content as Reddit, but it's going to happen eventually, seen how fast Reddit is ruining itself.

For anime, I guess you follow !anime@lemmy.ml ? It is much more active than the lemmy.world one.

Fighting games will still be on Reddit indeed.

!moviesandtv@lemmy.film is a good example of thematic community which is quite active

I don't follow anime, I specifically prefer reading. I'm not the guy who initially commented btw, and I've been using lemmy before sync. As a 14 year redditor I'm well aware of what growth will look like for lemmy.

I see, well I hope you'll have a good time enough despite the growing small content
