It seems like the tabletop wargaming groups are really dead, so I feel you on this, haha.
Ok but there’s zero movement in a lot of hobby communities here, and I’m not talking about niche interests. There cannot be quality when the quantity is none.

The fediverse is what you make it. If you have an interest, take five minutes and post a couple of articles a day. It’s not overly difficult to to engage with people.

Some hobbies don’t have enough “news” content. To make up for that you need more than a couple of active posters showing off what they’ve built or made.
Not to mention, every instance could theoretically have a community for a specific hobby and it splits up the activity even more. And if I sub to all those communities I generally tend to get the same post over and over again in my feed.
Then when it comes to things like news my experience has been it becomes like an echo chamber and any dissenting opinion is met with open hostility. Yes, it’s a two way street, but this post is a perfect example.
The more users you have, the less the hostility has a chance to gain hold on a post. I’ve had some really great interactions in my short time on Lemmy, but I’ve also had and seen more hostility when I tried to be civil.
