Attempts to create niche communities that ended up being the owner talking to himself and receiving 2 upvotes. (niche coms appear to be gaining steam)
Most of them? The fact that most niche communities failed to successfully migrate away from Reddit is the reason why Lemmy isn’t really something I frequent as often as I would like these days.
Heck, it would probably be a whole lot easier to list the three niche communities here that may be thriving.

Damn dude that’s a lot. Good on you for keeping the content going though, I really hope the creative outlet is making it worth the effort! If the kbin<->lemmy federation gets working properly I’d love to sub/contribute to fakealbumcovers.
Hey, !imaginarytechnology@kbin.social sounds like it should be part of the FNIC Imaginary Network - see !imaginarydirectory@lemm.ee
And whilst I’m here I’d like to promote all the imaginary subs as found in the pinned post in the directory community - most are only being posted to by other FNIC mods!
(Mine is !imaginaryfairies@lemmings.world)
Yes, literally the owner/mod talking to himself, sometimes to a wall. (sob)
I really wish my sports communities migrated over. Even a few dozen users would be better than talking to the play by play bots, although I think the bots here are much better than the ones on Reddit.
c/DunderMifflin@kbin.social
r/obscuremedia was one of my favorite Reddit subs. There are communities on .world and kbin but they never took off.
The two I most wish were more active are
- !taskmaster@feddit.uk - The new series of Taskmaster UK is coming up and the 4th series of Taskmaster NZ just finished.
- !oxygennotincluded@lemmy.world - I am very addicted to this game
Feel free to advertise your communities here:
!communitypromo@lemmy.ca
I requested the community a few days ago to get it rolling again. It’s much harder to find and discover communities compared to Reddit, so communities need a lot more promo than they would have otherwise.
It doesn’t have to be your community, and you don’t need to say a lot. You can also just stay subscribed to see the cool communities that get posted.
Maybe most of mine. The more niche ones which nobody else ever posts to:
- !yoursinclair@retrolemmy.com
- !kfc@lemmy.world (this was actually abandoned so I just took it over so I could post weird kfc products to it!)
- !teletext@fedia.io
- !lemmings@lemmings.world (it did get some other posters at the start, now it’s just me and everything I post gets at least one downvote almost immediately)
I add two of mine: !tennis_fans and !wimbledon
I made it because it was one of my favorites to go to back on Reddit. But I’m the only one that has posted. I get very little to no replies on each post and I don’t even know what else to post.
The capitalisation was throwing errors for me too. Try: !thebrewery@lemmy.world
I’m not sure what you mean? It takes me to it, but I must admit I don’t know exactly how to link on lemmy. I just copied someone else’s format
Still trying to make c/klipper a thing.
There’s one dude named Maple who seems to be single handedly running a community called videogamebutts. His posts occasionally hit hot at like 2 am, for some reason.
