I like that the admins have decided on quality over quantity when it comes to communities. For example, there is only one gaming community instead of breaking everyone into several smaller subsets. It increases interaction and exposes you to other subtopics that might spark your interest.
I hope moving forward they continue with this approach!
Yup. Too specialized and niche = sad and alone.
It’s like walking into a party and announcing “I will only be friends with left-handed dental hygienists who are over 5 foot 8 and like sushi!” vs “Hello, everyone!”
<glances sadly at the ukulele community on Lemmy.ml>
Say, do you have an interest in ukulele, perchance? Maybe? Even slight? Sigh…
It’s nice for sure. Even outside of Beehaw I believe that with the smaller overall user base of Lemmy, most communities should be more general until the user base gets much larger.
For example, staying on the topic of video games. There’s a community for factory/automation games which is likely to stay more active than if Factorio, Satisfactory, and others each had their own community. Also, having a community for the subgenre means that small indie games that would normally rarely be discussed have a place.
What’s the name of that community? That genreis my fav!
