Which is great, but for "news" there seems to be one major community and even then there's like 3 comments on the typical post. Any "news" communities on other instances have zero.

I have very popular hobbies (football, formula1, to name a few) and there is no community for them. Just not enough users.

That's exactly why more people need to leave Reddit and other corporate social media platforms

Yes, they need, but for "normies" there's little reason to, and you have the first mover penalty.
