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™""""

I did. There's almost zero engagement. My most popular thread is a meta narrative about me being in there talking to myself. There were at least two other attempts that are even more inactive. Not enough of y'all are into synthesizers.

    We need better discoverable tools. I subscribed to the community

    For curiosity, where did you advertise the community? In the "new communities"/"find a community" communities? In music-related communities? Or both?

    Hmm. I made no effort to advertise at all. I came during the Rexodus last year after the API kerfuffle. Initially, it seemed promising, and I didn't think I'd need to, but activity died down quite quickly. I've never moderated a community before or anything like that. I certainly don't want to it to become a full time job. I have enough of those.
