  niche communities that don’t exist on lemmy.

    This is the reason. I can get all the Linux discussion I want on Lemmy, but discussions about an Acura RSX? That community is on reddit.

      There is zero car talk on Lemmy and it fucking sucks ass.

        Well that’s just not true…

        !fuckcars@lemmy.world

        We talk about how much better the world would be without cars. That qualifies as car talk, right?

        There are definitely high-IQ car guys and they are soul of car forums/reddits. But based on my observation of the diagnostic and critical thinking skills of the other 90%, they are probably never going to figure out how to use Lemmy.

        And somehow we need both types (maybe for sample size?) in order to have a thriving niche community about anything.

      Yeah… I also miss doom-scrolling unixporn and ergomechkeyboards in here.

      TF2, a very popular game, is barely present here! Let alone niche indies!

      Tbf, for me, that’s more of a forum territory. I wasn’t even using the subreddit for Aprilia motorcycles, but been on Apriliaforum for years

    There are some pretty basic communities that are non existent or dead on Lemmy and I hate it

    • TheMachineStops@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      A good example is the Usenet community, in Lemmy there is barely any activity, on reddit people post daily.

    Use RSS to read them.

    • dukethorion@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      You can’t participate through RSS.

      • No_Ones_Slick_Like_Gaston@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Correct. Less engagement for them, still can get your fix of reading specific things. A read only option to lurk is better than missing everything.

  A lot of people dont use an app at all, much less third party apps, so the whole thing was lost on them to begin with, if they were even aware of it.
