minus-square🔍🦘🛎@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·2 years agoAt the same time, this is realistically the only way to gain/maintain community for really niche topics. Unfortunately, lemmy is not a thriving place for things like nonograms, low-poly artwork, the artist C418, or Pokemon GO research/infographics.
