I feel you. The Network Effect is real, and the niche subreddits need a HUGE overall userbase to work at all.
The total population of Lemmy + Kbin is about the size of a medium size city subreddit.
I'm staying here for now. I sometimes cheat and browse reddit not-logged-in. I don't know what the answer is.
I think it’s fair to reply to niche-sub threads with a little PS:
Good idea
The mirrors from alien.top are perfect for this use case. I had about 40 subreddits which I followed but didn't participated much. I had them all mirrored to different communities and now I don't need to go to reddit anymore.
(Unfortunately, LW has blocked alien.top, so if you want to do something similar you'll need an account on a different server)
Promising, have to check this out!
Not sure if I’ll want to start with dummy accounts to test… by connecting my reddit account, am I actually potentially triggering more mirroring?
No. The mirroring is configured by the instance admin.
Very interesting; thank you
