Is it better to find a niche or to create a community of sorts and how do both work exactly, so i created my account not to long ago and most places feel dead in a way but if i created my own place its not like i would get many people and i have some ideas but there kinda dumb or "Spicey" to say or somehting like that. im not even sure if i have the motivation to create and manage a community.

I think a lot of the major topics have already been covered, but without knowing exactly what you're looking for, it's kind of hard to comment. If, as you've said, the communities you're looking at are dead, then maybe start posting in them and see what happens. If nothing happens, then possibly the right people just aren't interested right now, although I'm sure people will come along eventually. I would say it's fair to say a large majority of people aren't aware of Lemmy or don't know how to use it, so it'll take some time.
