Make sure to promote your new communities at !newcommunities@lemmy.world and !communitypromo@lemmy.ca - Lemmy doesn’t have an algorithm so getting off the ground will take some effort. Beware that we’re still at below critical mass for easy sustaining of niche communities, so if you desire for one you will probably have to be the one doing the majority of the posting yourself for a while.
Without a critical mass of people, niche communities tend to have very few posts and comments. I wish there were more general communities like the early days of reddit instead of going straight into hundreds of dead communities.
I love the critical mass metaphor for Lemmy. Posts and comments are the neutrons that knock free other posts and comments after reaching other people. If we spread out our fissile material into hundreds of tiny pails, then the neutrons just fly away into the air without having any effect.
Did you make content for the Path of Exile and EDM community?
I also think more general communities (gaming, music) are what we need now, then later given enough growth, they will break into more specialized ones.
I just really wish there was more active communities for things I like.
I made the Path of Exile community which is currently empty.
There’s no Burning Man community yet for SOME UNKNOWN REASON
All the EDM communities are dead including the one I made.
