We need more activity over there. I hope to make a post or two soon, but it's sad only seeing a couple new posts before seeing things from months ago. C'mon 3D artists!!! Where ya at?

Perhaps some consolidation might be warranted here?
Wow, quite a few pages there, but they all have the same problem π not enough activity. C'mon Internet!
Would you consider making a consolidation post in !fedigrow@lemmy.zip?
We have a pinned guide with step-by-step instructions.
Yes i would, actually. Give me some time to read through that, and have something typed up :)π
Awesome! Let me know if you have any questions, or if there is any way I might able to help out.
I π want π more π girl π content π
To be clear - I am talking about stereotypically "female" subjects, not about the gender itself, and I hope it goes without saying that I want people of all genders to be part of it. Some topics over on reddit are full of guys, NBs, and everyone else, but are what a bigoted 90s teacher would call "female" topics. I want more stuff of what that 90s teacher would call "girly" stuff.
I mean, something like a makeup community. Maybe skincare and fashion. Cleaning tips. Pre and post and peri pregnancy content. The parenting community on lemmy is super quiet. There is a sewing community but it is rather quiet too. I haven't found a mending focused community yet. Boy there even isn't a sailor moon community, like π come on
I'm horrible in creating any content tho, so uhm, not sure I should be complaining.
Girl, you gotta post!.. Maybe this fits the bill ? !lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works
You can also rally up the gals over at
!womensstuff@piefed.blahaj.zone
Or !witchesvspatriarchy@lemmy.ca to start a periodic diacussion thread over those topics you propose? Or just post a thread and see how it goes?
Lastly... You are welcome to post in !artshare@lemmy.world I feel the userbase needs more women , so do a lil sketch and join us there!
Reddit allowed us to be ultra passive, but here contributing is almost mandatory, otherwise the communities just die...
Thank you so much!! I wish I had more stuff to post but I'll try π« I think the guilt tripping is working
Shameless self-promotion: !anniversaries@sopuli.xyz
It's like "On This Day", "This Day in History", etc. I'm currently the only poster but I don't mind, I enjoy regularly looking for interesting anniversaries.
Post anniversaries on any topic you feel like; even personal anniversaries are allowed!
If anyone is interested in 3D printing, bookbinding, cosplay, crochet, knitting and more⦠This post has links to hobby-related communities:
Lemmy already superseded my expectations with how active it is. That being said, I would love the following to see more action (although I'm mostly lurking there myself):
!nba@lemmy.world - Loved the discussions on Reddit. As a European, it's not easy to follow the games, so that was a great way to stay up to date.
!criticalrole@lemmy.world - Mostly carried by /u/Ultragramps@lemmy.blahaj.zone, whose updates are *chef's kiss*
!quackers@lemmy.world - No explanation needed.

Guitars. Reddit has numerous active, friendly, supportive guitar forums. Lemmy doesn't have a single one.
Guitars@lemmy.world is good. I just asked about fretboard oil yesterday and got like 30 comments.
That's a pretty good one, but your post was three days ago, and there's only been one new post since. That's pretty quiet compared to Reddit, with hundreds of posts a day, over multiple forums.
We gotta start somewhere
!guitars@lemmy.world
πLetβs π start π coordinating π people.
Subbed thanks!
You'll probably see it there, but there are only a few people who will persistently try to grow a community, week after week.
Reading the comments here, it seems like a lot of people would like their niche community to be active, but we have to acknowledge that with our current userbase, more general communities are already struggling to stay active, so niche ones are even harder.
Example: !movies@piefed.social is kept up active by less than 5 active posters, and that's a generic community about movies.
!cooking@lemmy.world is probably good enough for all types of cooking, you get the idea.

I wish people shared their projects and hobbies more
I used to be a big fan of videogame subs, it doesn't seem like there are many communities here focused on specific games.
Minecraft and rimworld had some great community content.
One of the most well-intentioned and reasonable spaces to discuss this type of stuff I've found, but posts are not frequent.

!kitchenconfidential@lemm.ee I miss venting with a bunch of other cooks on reddit, but unfortunately this community is pretty inactive.
Are you aware that lemm.ee shut down? Any communities will need to be recreated on another instance.
If Lenny were less complicated to understand I would!
!guitarporn@sfw.community is basically dead, though I am as guilty anyone of not posting more.
!reallyshittycopper@lemmy.world has seen some posts lately but I wish it was more active.
!autoracing@crazypeople.online for motorsports.

https://lemmy.world/c/gothindustrial has been resurrected and we are slowly growing. It's not just about music. We include arts, interviews, stories, etc. We are an inclusive community.
!cooking_with_fire@feddit.uk
!recipes@feddit.uk
!runequest_glorantha@feddit.uk
Basically the subs I mod. It would be awesome to see anyone new add content.
The dropout community would be nice to circle jerk with. But I really miss my knock off cheap Chinese fake watch sub. I tried to post to it here but my post got deleted and the sublemmy shut down soon after.

Mostly my local related communities !india@lemmy.ml but unfortunately it is no longer moderated.
!india@Piefed.social is still moderated And not on .ml, but smallish because it just moved over there (needed to move over from !india@lemm.ee because of .ee shutdown)

I'm a fan of these kinds of games, especially Smash Melee. Since leaving Reddit and Twitter, I feel pretty disconnected from them.
I'm trying to learn Japanese as a hobby, and it's slightly unfortunate that there's not much of a community for it here. I think the first two kinda split the userbase by having slightly different focus, preventing a definitive one spot. The third one is decently active though, mostly thanks to just a handful of people. The effort makes a big difference.
And I wanted to add, in general, I think communities here often work better at higher levels. Like in the examples from my post, smashbros is better than just the ssbm community. fgc, more realistic than communities for individual fighting games. Languagelearning > individual language communities, to an extent.
Since the Lemmy user base is small, I think zooming out is helpful. This place isn't Reddit and it doesn't work to try and replicate it 1-to1.

I wish there was more MotoGP and motorcycle content in general....
The Yogscast community for one. That's what I sought out here first, and it's dead as the desert.
