There have been a few comments on helping niche communities thrive.
While tagging and inbuilt community grouping on the software side would be helpful, I suggest posting to small community, then crosspost to the overarching category that is more active with a mention of the original thread.
I know this will improve if Lemmy grows, but at least personally, this is the main reason I don’t spend much time on Lemmy relative to Reddit. I’ve tried posting some, but I’d need to write a bot to even maintain the base level of activity for the communities I follow on Reddit (IE major game updates, new TV show episodes). Don’t get me wrong, I’m working on a web scraper for exactly that, but even then, the discussion is what makes these communities, so Im not expecting much.
More communities dedicated to individual games. That’s what I mostly used Reddit for.
