    It’s still good for niches. I am in a couple subs about health conditions, and there are no comparable communities on Lemmy. I haven’t observed the composition or activity level of the groups change at all over the past couple of years.

        I wish I could. It’s hard to get a community started on any new site where people have to make accounts and get in the habit of going there. The network effect is tough to overcome, too… people go where other people are, and then those places have content, and most people consume content, not create it. Also Reddit will ban you for promoting Lemmy, even through DMs.
