I just miss some of the niche female-centric subs from Reddit. Like the Lemmy communities for beauty-related topic only have 1-2 posts in them. I don't think we have a critical mass of women to sustain such communities, but I'm happy to be proven wrong.
(I use Arch btw - but I also wear makeup and get my nails done.)
Give it some time. Reddit didn’t start off with those communities either. It took them years to build to a point that there were active communities for everything.
I’ve been encouraged by how similar this place has seemed to when I first encountered Reddit way back in the dark ages. I still think it is likely to grow to similar levels of diversity with the added bonus of being decentralized so it can’t get morphed into an AI training company like Reddit has.
Rome wasn’t built in a day and a garden isn’t grown overnight. Keep posting in the communities you love. If you build it, they will come…eventually.
