Agreed. I'm a car guy, have been working on them for decades, owned a shop at one point and worked at a racing component manufacturer for a good bit.
Car enthusiasts come in a lot of stripes and a super broad community may not gain as much focus right away as communities around a single topic, such as weird cars, etc. I'm subscribed to a weird car community here and there's a bunch of cool stuff being posted.
I'd say just keep the faith and keep posting great content and car subs on Lemmy will evolve to a point that attracts plenty of subscribers. I'm personally subscribing to every such community I come across...
You can't just talk about this weird cars sub without mentioning the name of it for others to join.
Also if you know of a classic car one, post that as well. I searched the communities and I think I found one and it had so few posts on it. This is especially sad coming from Reddit where the classic car sub would get at least a couple of posts a day. Even if they were of some random dude posting a picture or two, that's still nice to see.
Haven't linked to another community before so I'll probably get this wrong, but it's here:

Hopefully there's a bot or helpful admin that can reply with the correct way to do this. The link should get you there though.
And don't be shy! Start a community for classic cars yourself and add some build posts or show coverage! I've probably got some content I can toss in there...!
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
Hey hey! There it is. Good bot! Will use this as an example going forward.
