Iβll co-sign all of that! Niche stuff is why I was on Reddit.
Fitness for FTM guys, my cityβs local page, subs for my dogsβ specific breeds, Jewish cooking. The communities that grew organically in n niche spots brought me a lot of joy.
Also hey! Kayaking! If you know of a Lemmy community for it, Iβm game! Always nice to run into other paddlers.
That's great stuff! I really hope we can build Lemmy up so that it scratches our niche itch.
There's an unpopulated kayaking sub I found yesterday: https://lemmy.ml/c/kayaking (Not sure if I'm sharing that link correctly or in a way that makes it easy to navigate.)
I posted a photo yesterday. Would be awesome to help get it off the ground!
try tagging it as [email protected], or @kayaking (this latter one is for users on kbin, mastodon, etc.) for a more fediverse-inclusive link! that way, you're not sending people to a specific instance
Thank you!
Have you found a Jewish cooking niche here yet? Because I would absolutely be into that! I'm not good at cooking, but one of the few exceptions to that is that I make fantastic challah, and I'm always up for sharing that.
Seconding FTMFitness, but Lemmy doesn't have an active general fitness community yet, and getting the average trans guy to stop using centralized platforms is like pulling teeth because the knowledge of technology and privacy among trans men is dismal. I gave up on seeing trans men in FOSS and the decentralized web at any large scale after seeing how many of them chose to keep using Twitter despite the Elon Musk protests because the Fediverse is scary.
