So that we can discuss more niche hobbies with other people who love that hobby.
if you build it they will come
Factually untrue. There just aren't enough people interested in certain topics who are regular users of Lemmy & Piefed to have those communities be thriving.
well you gotta advertise too of course.
Why are you being so patronising? It does not work. I told you it doesn't work. Your patronising comments don't help. I've tried it. I've seen others try it. To get niche Communities off the ground requires a latent interest in that community's subject matter. You cannot just make it spring out of nowhere.
ok, sorry
