I'm trying to push a jump in userbase for the tabletop hobby centric communities on LW. I had modded the 40k community for a while, and just took on the tabletop minis community. I post content from blogs I subscribe to and as much of my original content as I can make, but I'd really like to see more growth as an alternative Reddit like space online that isn't as totally captured by the Games Workshop financial ecosystem.

The art share community has been growing which is great to see but still not as much traffic as it could have.

I took over the dead Star Wars community and have tried to shape it as much as possible towards a place online that actually talks about Star Wars rather than infighting and complaining about other peoples' taste of Star Wars.

Other spaces here like the airsoft community are pretty dead, though I try as much as possible to post when I can.

There is also the historical US Civil War community. I like history in general, and the U.S. Civil War has become a natural fit for me since in real life I often travel to places where I can go to related historical sites.

The Fallout community has taken off more than most gaming communities but still is pretty niche
