there's no communities for my niche interests!!!

more like "i want a ready-made community where other people already putting effort into posting cool and intersting stuff, and all I want to do is sit on my ass and shower posts generously with """muh upvotes™""""

For sure, though that really doesn't solve the problem. If I'm really into sports-themed shot glasses, making a post in a community for drinking ware, or for sports merchandise, isn't going to mean I get more content about sports shot glasses, and it doesn't increase the number of people on the site who have something to say about them. On a platform with millions of users, there might be enough other people with the same interest to generate a critical mass of content.

Yeah but everyone seems to be expecting Lemmy to just turn into the high point of Reddit. Reddit wasn't built in a day and neither will Lemmy be built in a day.

Completely agree. I personally I'm fine with the trade-off I made. There's even some benefits to a smaller site. I remember on Reddit there were lots of times I didn't make a comment, even when I had something to say, because there were already literally thousands of comments, some with thousands of upvotes, and I figured anything I said would be lost in the din. Here, if you've got something to say, it's very likely to be seen.

I see this, and am upvoting:-).

When I see a really bad take and click on their profile to block and see their posts, it's one I interacted positively so I just leave it. Happened more than I thought it would.
