It’s pretty much a symptom of having a small userbase. The most niche thing that can maintain activity isn’t very niche yet. I hope and expect it will improve over time, and in the meanwhile I’d like to see the attitude to Reddit repost bots to soften.
Yeah same, the only solution is for you yourself to post in those niche communities more often, making them more active and thus more attractive for other users.
Beehaw being defederated from LW and SJW prevents around 30% of the people on the platform of seeing that community. Have you considered maybe posting to a community on an instance that is more accessible?
not enough of my niche interests from reddit moved here. also the sports communities are a little bit like ghost towns

Welcome to my world! I try to post sports I watch on !sports@beehaw.org as much possible as I can. Same goes for !Football@sopuli.xyz and for !tennis@lemmy.world. Lately is more politics and memes.

I didn’t even know that they were defederated, I will thanks for the info!!
Happy to help, let me know once you settle for a community, I can help try to post there too!
I see !sportsnews@thelemmy.club this !sports@feddit.org and this !sports@lemmy.org The first one looks active, we can post news there.
Thank you for the list!
For the first one, the main mod and poster there seems quite active on !conservative@hilariouschaos.com https://thelemmy.club/u/realcaseyrollins@narwhal.city
Their modlog https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/modlog?userId=157506
I’m not the biggest fan of feddit.org since https://feddit.org/post/12529640 and https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/44422088
https://lemmy.org/ seems to be a one-admin thing, they wanted to sell the domain name for 20k https://lemmy.org/post/90035
Seems like we might have to start a new community x)
Pleasantly surprised to see a football community that is actually about the game where you kick a ball with your foot.
