Just curious to see what communities you would like to see more engagement in.

Here's a couple I joined but it's been pretty quiet:

I like this idea. We should make a topic like this every month or so, maybe in the fediverse community, too. Discoverability is so hard on the fediverse.

Agreed, an occasional 'niche community spotlight' post to different meta communities would be great. I've found heaps here I had no idea existed!

There was the subreddit of the day on reddit that was cool to see smaller or obscure ones highlighted. Something like that would be nice on here as well.

The old subreddit r/bestof was great for finding niche communities on Reddit. Maybe a Lemmy version could exist, but aimed specifically at highlighting niche communities and their content?
