there's no communities for my niche interests!!!
more like "i want a ready-made community where other people already putting effort into posting cool and intersting stuff, and all I want to do is sit on my ass and shower posts generously with """muh upvotes™""""
Counterpoint: Sometimes you can kickstart a community that you want to see just by consistently posting content. !science_memes@mander.xyz is my favourite example -- it was essentially one person who created that entire community (and it's since been diversifying somewhat -- at least there's traction in the comments).
But to reinforce your point: I did !spacemusic@lemmy.ca and tried to do the same thing, but it sort of petered out. But it's way way more niche.
Rome wasn't built in a day. Just engage with the content you like and build some places for content you'd like to see.
We're complaining because we don't want to be the ones to post, lol.
A phenomenon I've seen on Lemmy a lot is all of a sudden the All feed will be pages on end of the same user posting in the same community I've never heard of before. They get blocked. Spread that traffic out. You want people to go "oh there's a community for that now" not "Oh my god will you comprehensively shut up?!" Lemmy.nsfw is often guilty of this.
Right now on the community for the Satisfactory game, almost all of the traffic is a guy posting "Day 44 of posting screenshots every day until I get bored." That community is as good as dead. When it's almost entirely one guy's vomit pile, it's as good as dead.
Don't over-post.
