Hi, I’m focusing on generating content for a few communities that I feel can be successful and have less content than I expected:
- !cassettefuturism@lemm.ee: a genre of retrofuturism based on the 70’s and 80’s (more info)
- !awwnverts@lemmy.world: cute invertebrates
- !weirdwheels@lemmy.world: weird vehicles (with wheels)
- !comicstrips@lemmy.world: self-explanatory
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.
I’m really late to this because I’m going through the community posts in order, but I wouldn’t be pessimistic just yet. I’ve created a number of communities I missed from Reddit and they grew really well - they’re photo/screenshot communities though.
Confidently_incorrect is 3 weeks old, has 27 posts and 2.3k subs.
Terrible estate agent photos is 3 weeks old. 46 posts, 3.5k subs.
Don’t you know who I am? is 2 months old, 35 posts and 2.5k subs.
Clever comebacks is only a week old; 7 posts and 108 subs. I haven’t even listed that on this community yet and that where a lot of my subscribers came from for the others.
!badrealestate is the only community that anyone other than me has made a post in. I was just really diligent with posting - maybe twice a day for the first few days, then once everyday, slowing down to every other day. The only communities I’ve created that haven’t grown are the ones I haven’t posted in daily. You should keep at it - the people will come eventually!
