On my side,
Biggest achievement is probably !dataisbeautiful@mander.xyz. Activity is very high: 1.82k active users, the community isn't even one week old. I'll keep posting there regularly, the topic seems very popular and has potential.
Started posting to !parenting@lemmy.world, I'm probably going to define daily threads to get some "organized" activity.
Still keeping !linux@programming.dev, the weekly thread should help with getting more activity.
Otherwise, still pretty alone posting on
Finally, nice success with !movies@lemm.ee, thank you @TheImpressiveX@lemmy.ml for your contributions!
Honestly, I'd kind of like to create a niche community (or two) but wouldn't really know where to start. I still follow some smaller subs from Reddit, but I feel like there just wouldn't be any user engagement over here (if I tried to start one here), considering how small they are in the first place.
Anyway, I think it's amazing how fast you were able to grow !dataisbeautiful@mander.xyz in less than a week!
What is the topic? They might be too niche, but three might be another larger one to merge them in
One of them, r/startpages, I tried to start a community on kbin.social, but it really never caught on. Maybe I should have posted more, which might have encouraged others to post. It was actually pretty active on Reddit, with 20k subscribers, but once the API fiasco hit last year, they decided to close down the sub and move to kbin, which obviously didn't catch on, so the whole community died.
Interesting. Maybe something for !unixporn@lemmy.ml ? It's customization, after all
