And regional communities. There’s not nearly enough people in the fediverse to support city or state communities. And only the most populous countries.
Comment on AI Slop Is Ruining Reddit for Everyone
Joelk111@lemmy.world 1 day agoNiche communities that simply don’t exist on Lemmy. If your only hobbies are tech, lemmy probably covers all of your bases, but there are nearly no niche non-tech communities here.

Tbh most regional subreddits feel like they’re full of right wing chuds.

They did exist before reddit as forums, however they where fragmented across different languages and websites. At some point Google started to show reddit more often, because it was more search engine optimized and mobile friendly. This means new users found reddit first, and old users where slowly pulled away from their forums into reddit.

Yeah. I’m not saying I like it or that it’s how it should be. It’s just how it is. I basically go to reddit last these days.

There’s also fun bullshit communities that refuse to migrate too. I listen to some of them on YouTube as they read the stories from there while I work on other things or drive.

And if they do exist, there are 4 subscribers and zero posts in the last 6 months.

Yeah. I help mod the Washington Capitals hockey team sub, and recently I looked through every other NHL team’s sub, and we’re the ONLY ones that post game day threads. And even with us, it’s basically only one or two of us commenting on the games. Compare that to dozens or even hundreds of people commenting on every game in every team’s reddit sub.
