What kinds of posts do you comment on? I’m finding it a bit difficult to find always active communities and discussions, which is the only thing preventing me from commenting as much as I used to with Apollo. Things like tipofmytongue, cringe, IsitBullshit, and outoftheloop along with movie and tv discussions were my frequent haunts, particularly when I can’t sleep at night, but sadly I’m not finding the same amount of engagement here. Hopefully as we grow we can find that same level of engagement.

Reddit had so many users that hyper specialisation was possible.
There was a subreddit for every tv show. And people are coming here expecting the same. I think we’ll see similar content but a bit less niche.
For instance instead of a community for every tv show it might be better to just post about any tv show in /c/television
I used to follow /r/pizza but I’ve seen tons of home made pizza photos in /c/foodporn
For most niche topics you can probably think of a more general community which will help drive content and critical mass.
Only way to grow these communities with niche topics is to interact with them yourself. If you want c/pizza to grow, post content and interact in it!
