    When Lemmy has a critical mass to support communities that aren’t the main ones the niche content will come.

    It’ll just take time.

    There’s no rush because reddit is not getting better.

    Lemmy will only improve with more people who will come after each successive reddit fuck up.

    Reddit didn’t start with niche communities, that was the tail end of years of community building.

      Agree with you.

      One thing I have always found precious for my 10+ yrs on forums like reddit and 3+ yrs on fediverse is how high quality conversations are by people who usually don’t obsess about numbers and publicity in likes and upvotes etc.

      Genuine communities here on the fediverse will evolve at their own pace.

      Yeah people don’t realize a ton of the niche communities are only a few years old, if that. Even 5 yrs ago Reddit wasn’t used as often for Google searches. Reddits popularity is recent.
