I sideload Apollo for a few niche communities on reddit that don’t exist here on Lemmy.
Why not make 'em? That’s what I did. Try to get away from Reddit completely by recreating your favorite subs as communities here. I’m really glad I’m on here and hope we can continue to grow this replacement.
Wow, you certainly sunk in more resources than I did! I didn’t mean that you should run the community anywhere near that deeply; I meant just to create it so that there could be a home for Lemmy’s fans of the topic, who would then carry it on. But yeah, unless you’re getting something personal out of it then it’s not worth the effort.
Just making the community and hoping a critical mass of users will show up just doesn’t work. When it comes to niche hobbies/fandoms/etc, the venn diagram overlap of people interested in that niche and people who are active on Lemmy - which is itself a niche platform - may be as little as one or two users.
True… for now! The upcoming Reddit paywall ushered me here, so I’m hoping it will encourage more people too. Either way, I’m not just not gonna make the community…
