It takes time, effort and people to build cool spaces, and those spawn additional spaces for more obscure stuff. Lemmy is just new and hopefully it will grow with time but it's up to us to help how we can.

Same. I’ll still search there for stuff like BIFL or sone of the niche hobby subs but I don’t just go to scroll at all anymore. I’m kind of glad I’m getting a more reasonable amount of content at one go on Lemmy - I read more, have better sleep habits.

Edit: I still miss you Apollo!
