Hi, I’m focusing on generating content for a few communities that I feel can be successful and have less content than I expected:

EDIT: I did not create any of those communities

I would encourage anyone to participate if you like those topics.

Do you know any other niche-but-not-too-niche communities in which we could focus efforts?
Please, don’t post very long lists, I’m already subscribed to almost 300 communities and the idea is to focus on a few ones.

Thanks!

EDIT: Added descriptions for each community.

    You are probably right on your pessimism. Growing communities is hard. That’s why I’m trying to focus the efforts in a few, but more than 1 community. Which community will succeed in the long term is impossible to predict, so I think it’s better to just keep trying with different ones.

    I find !shittymoviedetails@lemmy.world a very good attempt. If I get it correctly, is like fakehistoryporn but for movies, right? I think that’s the kind of niche-but-not-too-niche topic that could work. I’m not very familiar with the format but I will keep it in mind in case I find something worth posting.

    Thanks for the efforts and the feedback!

      I think so, yeah. My own posts there vary widely in popularity (to phrase it euphemistically), so I’m maybe not the right person to ask though.

        In case it helps: IMHO the hard part of !shittymoviedetails@lemmy.world is that is an all-or-nothing regarding if you get the joke.

        Note that the communities I listed on OP have content that can be enjoyed without any previous reference. Of course, the more you know about any topic, the more you will get from the posts, but I think that for the short term, it’s good to focus on things that people can vote because “they look pretty” even if they don’t understand the context.
