If you recall reddits growth many of their communities evolved as offshoots of a single generic community. This made it easier for people to see discussions they normally would not get involved in, and once the posts in a similar category reached critical mass it moved to a sub Reddit.

I think people are recreating their niche communities here but they are floundering since the user base is still pretty small. Maybe it’s best to post to the “big” communities until the time is right to move to smaller, targeted communities?

    Oh hi, didn’t expect to see you here!

    Have been trying to post content in @Otomegames to make it active. It’s pretty niche though. Thriving and healthy Reddit community whose rules about advertising other communities are making it very hard to move them over here :(

      Hi, thank you for your contributions!

      I find myself wondering how many people we need to have a self-sustaining community. I’ve been making and stockpiling memes and discussion ideas so I can post regularly, but ideally there’d be enough people so that my posts aren’t the majority.
