        There’s a mechanic advice page but not many have asked for advice. This is a shameless plug bc somehow I ended up being a part of that place and would love to see it active

      Lemmy is basically white programmers posting Linux memes and how much they hate cars. There’s no diversity here

      No and with how most of the users lean, I have a hard time believing a car enthusiast community wouldn’t be brigaded 24/7

        Good point, we do have mechanic-advice now and just rolled into the shop though

        I can’t believe that’s the predominant view on this platform but have heard a lot

      None that are really worth visiting. Cars is one. I think there’s a classic car one as well but there are a handful of new posts there every week which makes it mostly useless. Such a shame since Reddit’s car subs (and there were quite a few of them) were quite well trafficked.

        There was even a sub for the Suzuki Samurai on reddit that got decent traffic. No way I could start one here.

          The Subaru subs (more than one, in fact) got decent traffic. The car community on Lemmy gets less traffic than just one /WRX sub got on Reddit.

          I miss arguing with my fellow car nerds!
