I need to be dead honest here. This is Lemmy. If it isn't there, make it. I get not wanting to moderate etc. but if you want that thing to happen you're going to have to make it and you're going to have to post as often as you can. Do I want to mod a community? Not at all, but I've made two and I post to both as often as I can when the opportunity strikes.
The whole "this niche thing doesn't exist so I'm not enjoying Lemmy" argument falls flat for me. Just take the leap and keep going at the pace you can. Even if it is slow, it's something and people may migrate and enjoy the content. Ignore downvotes, they don't really matter here. Just post stuff, even if it is irregular.
I think you missed the point of the meme. Lemmy itself is pretty niche, which is why I shitposted it here. Non-defensively, I mod 3 small niche communities.
Ah, you're right. I just get frustrated sometimes. Doing all we can, and it never feels like enough.
But I'm not creative or interesting enough to make content. I'm barely qualified to comment in other people's posts.
I have no idea why this meme caused you to say all of that, where does a lack of a niche community come into play with this meme? Just trying to understand
Alcohol. It was alcohol.
Appreciate the honesty haha
I have six communities. I'm not gonna pretend I put in a ton of legwork promoting them, but they're dead af.
