have any niche lemmings taken off in the 6 months since the API scandal?
[email protected] started strong, but has definitely slowed down a little. [email protected] (everyday carry pocket dumps) and [email protected] have slowed down even more. Maybe they’re too consumerish for Lemmy’s culture.

I honestly never know what people mean by “niche”, everyone seems to have a different cutoff. But also the word you’re looking for is “communities”, we users are the lemmings 😄
The cordcutters subreddit was really nice, users constantly engaging in talks about better alternatives to cable/internet/streaming options.
The lemmy version is like an aquarium full of dead fish that nobody cares to clean out. The only ‘poster’ is a ‘news’ bot that just spams every article from cordcutters.com (most of which are just advertisements for deals/discounts).
At this point even ghost towns have more presence and/or engagement. If you block the ‘news’ bot, there’s next-to-nothing there.
Curlyhair was (is?) so busy on Reddit that it needed heavy moderating, the mods had a discord chat, so many rules, a heavy hand. Here it’s dead.
