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.

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?

Very interesting; thank you
I think it’s fair to reply to niche-sub threads with a little PS:
BTW, I’ve recently shifted my online engagement to Lemmy, as I find it aligns more with my values and the way I like to share content. The community there is very welcoming, and they’d be incredibly receptive to the insights shared in this thread. Hope to seeing you there!
Good idea
