Imagine if everyone who made this kind of post, made a post on their fav niche sub instead.

- literally this. i see a lot of mods of niche communities working their ass off trying to generate content with 0 help, including me. and all people do is complain that they aren’t doing enough, it’s not active enough, while doing nothing to help it grow.
  
  be the change you want to see. contribute to your communities, especially niche ones.

  I would like to do this but I’m basically a waste of space, and not really capable of either thought provoking questions or funny/engaging content for the things I want to be part of. I can engage with others, but I’m not unique or creative enough for starting the conversation (same in person actually).
  
  I know this because I tried several times many years ago to run my own Facebook pages for… well I tried various things and got very little engagement on any of it when Facebook pages were peak social media.
  
  I know random facts about random science things that most people don’t understand (I probably don’t either, but I think I do!), but nothing that would actually grow any of the communities I’d like to see grow.
  
  So while it is exactly that easy, it’s not necessarily that easy.

- This dude has done a lot to populate the community he's promoting with content. He's the only contributor so far

- Joke's on you! This is a post with the logo from my favorite niche sub.

  I told my friend about your community. Also the whole infosec instance since he does infosec, and that seems like it might be a good local feed.. idk if it’s up his alley, but hopefully!
  
  It’s well beyond me, sadly :(

- Wouldn't fix the problem, the reality is that we're not many enough. We could grow tenfold and still not be many enough.

  You are right. Back to Reddit...we tried.

Indeed. Come on !theyknew@lemmy.sdf.org 🤞

Feel this. I've slowly gathered a more people than I expected (~60) on an 'idlehands' community for fidgets and skill toys, and I'm now hoping they migrate with me over to a new instance since I expect the .ml issue will be a problem (if not this time, going forward)

So, if anyone likes seeing fidgets and skill toys (begleri, chetki, knucklebones, yo-yos, etc) feel free to join over at: !idlehands@lemmy.blahaj.zone :)

Could we get some loving for all things !runescape@lemmy.ml

- Thanks for linking this! I’m subbed to a few other OSRS instances and it doesn’t seem like there’s a consolidated lemmy forum quite yet

!hardcore@waveform.social

A community I created for the discussion of hardcore punk.

r/hardcore is the only subreddit I miss, as it was pretty much the only subreddit with a soul. Working on rebuilding a similar community on lemmy. We're growing, I think we're the biggest hardcore community on Lemmy, but these lazy mfs don't post anything lol.

If you wanna discuss hardcore, post your band's music, post info about a show, link to resources for finding shows, link to your band's merch store, feel free to subscribe! I'm a big fan of the DIY mentality in music, so if you've got something, share it mother fucker!

- I posted a link to legendary hardcore punk band, Dag Nasty. 🤘🏽

  I noticed! I appreciate it! I subscribed to cyph3rpunk@infosec.pub, but the posts aren't loading for me for some reason :/ I checked https://infosec.pub/instances and it looks like infosec.pub is linked with waveform.social, so not sure what's going on there.
  
  I'll check back in a day or two to see if anything has changed. The sidebar makes me think that it's a community I would greatly enjoy. I've been considering writing some guides on a few things cypherpunk related, and that seems like a good place to post them.

- Oh hell yeah. Thanks for starting it / sharing!

  No problem!

If y'all haven't already definitely post your communities in !newcommunities@lemmy.world

Do that thing Rita from Power Rangers did to her monsters.

4
- Idk usually shouting “make my monster grow” in a public space is frowned upon.
  
  4
- 😂I wonder how many people here even get that reference (beside you and I).😂

In order to ensure further growth I think we need to expand into developing markets.

- I know you're joking, but I would so love if Filipinos or some other countries would switch from facebook to mastodon/lemmy. It would make this place so lively.
  
  4
  
  That's true, it would genuinely be cool to have them on here. I don't think I've ever spoken to a Filipino before

@cyph3rPunk, what niche community?

4
Fuck if, have a sub 👍

3
You have to water niche communities with exposure and feed them with content for them to grow.

What community? Cyber punk?

2
- Similar name, different thing entirely.
  
  Cypher Punk

  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: !cypherpunk@infosec.pub

  Subbed! If you are intrested check out !bewowed@lemmy.world and !bewowed@lemmy.dbzer0.com help us grow please!

Please !klipper@lemmy.world

!SkincareAddiction@sh.itjust.works

Please help us grow this community if you're interested in skincare! We have a big passion for it and also think it would help diversify the type of communities that exist here on Lemmy 😊
