Agreed. Not much to relate with all the discussion about office work.
Comment on Plumbing Subreddit that locks anyone that is "new", even after everyone has commented

As someone who worked in the trades I’d love it if we had a trades community here

I no longer work in the trades other than occasional side work because I hurt my hand/wrist/arm but I miss it :( I’ve done some really cool really fucking insane shit for work that I never in a million years thought I’d do.
I’ve done office work too but not as cool. Not even close.

You do, they just don’t see much activity and therefore people assume they do not exist.
Discoverability is becoming a big issue for niche communities within Lemmy.
I almost wish that the community model was more like a tag, and there was just one single “plumbing” for all instances, for example. I realize though that this idea raises hell for moderation/what do you do when someone takes over a name for hateful purposes/where does the sidebar exist/etc.
Having separate comms on separate instances just results in the biggest instance hosting all the communities; at what point is that any better than Reddit?

Or you could just type your interest into the search bar.

Totally agree with all your points.
