Yeah, I'd love to have my niche communities back as well
That would be nice. I yearn for the day when I can stop putting "site:reddit.com" into all my web searches cause the answers are all on Lemmy.
Right now this place is good for browsing All, but trying to convince the smaller subs to migrate over here just gets you downvoted and flamed.
Yeah I completely agree, even though I'm subscribed to my favourite communities, they are nowhere near big enough to even fill 5 minutes of scrolling a day
Same here, so I started an "art" server. We'll see how it fares.
Care to share?

Small but I'm still proud :-)
Back before Hexbear re-federated we used to have a sorting algorithm that was a bit better for smaller communities. Right now, Active posts stay for too long and Hot posts don't yet have enough engagement to encourage people clicking through. I believe there's talks of adjusting the sorting algorithms, hopefully soon.
