yes, but it’s easier to create a smaller subreddit and get a sustainable subscriber base, than to create a niche community on lemmy and hope that people eventually stumble onto it.
Comment on Reddit is a shithole
samus12345@lemmy.world 1 year agoLike with most things, more is better until it isn’t. Non-niche subreddits are night impossible to have any meaningful discussion on because there’s too much damn noise.

You can absolutely have the opposite example. I’m subbed to a bunch of niche Lemmy instances, and no one has posted anything in there for literally months.

Yup, that’s the trade-off. A reasonable solution is to use Reddit (with adblocking on) for niche discussion only and Lemmy for anything else.
