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™""""

I don't think there are any" rant" communities?

Lemmy needs that kind of large general topic community to redirect users to smaller niches communities.

I too also wouldn't want to mod it, but I think it'd be great for herding up angry lemmy users sharing the same frustrations, so they could be redirected or start new communities for the particular topic.

The reason is that everyone enjoy reading and writing rants about something, so the rant community will automatically grow many subscribers coming in from all kinds of searches.

For example, a user ranting about "womens pants without pockets" would get much more engagement than someone just creating and posting about a community for womens pants. The rant comment section would also already often include the potential users for a new community.

The general discussion doesn't really cut it, because it's too nice and polite and weird angry rants don't really fit in there.

The thing is that (also in real life) when someone needs something bad enough, they'll get angry, and that anger can be channeled into something useful, because they're willing to collaborate with others who can help them or who at least supports them.

I mean, that redirection then needs to work. At the moment, nobody in the Movie/TV communities is redirecting me to a specific TV show community saying "hey this exists, you can also post there". Etc etc.
