Is communities discovery really that bad, do we just miss enough people, or should people revisit their expectations and go for more general communities? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Kind of a companion thread to the recent one on [email protected] asking people which community there were missing.

I had a quick look, and most of those seem to be niches that can't be filled until we reach a higher population.

There is still maybe some potential improvement about some less well-known community that other people are interested in and that could some additional activity.

I try to help to make less known communities known with the regular threads on [email protected] (now moving to [email protected] ), but there is probably only a level of detail we have to stop at with 47k monthly active users.

One example is [email protected], it seems reasonable active, and is probably a better compromise than having each game having its own community.

Similar with [email protected], or [email protected]. I posted a thread about Ted Lasso a few days ago, it got some nice comments, but probably not enough to have a full fledged dedicated community.

here's the Github feature request for this https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1807

Give it a thumbs up reaction so the devs know to prioritize it

I wonder if any 3rd party apps do this?
