Hi, I’m focusing on generating content for a few communities that I feel can be successful and have less content than I expected:
I would encourage anyone to participate if you like those topics.
Do you know any other niche-but-not-too-niche communities in which we could focus efforts?
Please, don’t post very long lists, I’m already subscribed to almost 300 communities and the idea is to focus on a few ones.Thanks!
I’ve just created
Good luck!
Sadly, I don’t have much to contribute to these communities, but I will post if I find something relevant.
Reddifugee here. Since no one else had done them yet, I've started @SantaFe (a small capital city in the SW of Turtle Island), and @photobiomodulation (for the discussion of the therapeutic usage of light). I don't expect these to ever get big. My hope is that they will become useful for a small group of interested parties.
A few that I created or mod:
Invertebrates can be cute, especially insects.
I subscribed so that they’ll show up in my instance.
I found three of your subs, not realizing one person started them all, thank you! I was especially missing awwnverts, and then was happy to subscribe to comic strips and hadn’t ever thought about weird wheels but was intrigued enough to join : )
Sorry for the confussion, I did not create any of those communities. I’m just trying to help them grow. I will edit the post to make it clearer.
I had been trying to grow these two:
They were reasonably popular on reddit, 3m+ and 2m+ subscribers respectively. I started posting once per day to each of them soon after I migrated over, though my meme stash has mostly run dry at this point (I do have a bit more to post to anime_irl). There are some regular posters in anime_irl now, but animemes has been pretty dead since I stopped posting. I've also promoted them in the usual places.
There's also my own community, kbin.social/m/specialized_instances / /c/specialized_instances@kbin.social, for cataloging topic/location focused instances. It works fine as a solo project, but I wouldn't mind having more suggestions of things to add to the list.
I’m subscribed to specialized_instances, I think it’s a great idea for a community, although I expect it to be more relevant on the long term.
Thanks!

a few others and i are trying to get some of the imaginary network off the ground - the ones i’m particularly fond of are imaginary trains and imaginary dieselpunk, but there’s a whole list in the sidebar
unfortunately a considerable chunk went down with lemmy.fmhy.ml, but i’m in contact with the guy behind them and he plans to reopen them soon

thank you!
^also, i’m flattered that you think i look organised, i’m very new to this so i don’t feel organised at all^

Indeed, you’re doing a great job, thanks for the efforts!
I’ve been seeing Imaginary Network’s posts on my timeline. I thought about including them in the OP, but you look a bit more organized than the usual small subs, so I chose to focus on other parts.
