Kind of a companion thread to the recent one on !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com asking people which community there were missing.

I had a quick look, and most of those seem to be niches that can't be filled until we reach a higher population.

There is still maybe some potential improvement about some less well-known community that other people are interested in and that could some additional activity.

I try to help to make less known communities known with the regular threads on !newcommunities@lemmy.world (now moving to !communitypromo@lemmy.ca ), but there is probably only a level of detail we have to stop at with 47k monthly active users.

One example is !jrpg@lemmy.zip, it seems reasonable active, and is probably a better compromise than having each game having its own community.

Similar with !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works, or !showsandmovies@lemm.ee. I posted a thread about Ted Lasso a few days ago, it got some nice comments, but probably not enough to have a full fledged dedicated community.

A bit hacky, but still works

Yep, and like I said it's good it exists but it should not be needed ta all, it's way too hacky. I really think the ability to link between components (no matter where and what they are) in what presents itself as a fediverse ~~should~~ edit: ought to work without hack.

Instance-agnostic links have been implemented and will come for version 1.0: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2987

In the meantime, that's probably the best we have.

That's great news :)
