Well, I don't know if "niche" is the best term, but I'm still pretty alone posting on
I also started two others recently
Part of the problem is the smaller instances don't even see those communities when you post, I was unaware of 75% of the communities you just listed. I have a micro instance, and if I don't subscribe I don't see it.
It's probably not much of an issue, given that most people are on a couple mega instances...
Yeah you pretty much have to use https://lemmyverse.net/communities
There's a feature request here that would help https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2951
I remember this one, doesn't seem to get much traction unfortunately 😔
That's a really good feature! I hope it gets implemented
For Voyager, I already suggested that they highlight communities for subscribe to when they are displayed, and that would make it easier to subscribe to new communities, so you don't have to check to see if you've already subscribed
