@fediverse What type of social media do you feel is lacking most in the fediverse?

To elaborate, there are a lot of different types of social media already on the fediverse such as microblogs, regular blogs, image sharing, link sharing and video sharing.

Personally, I'd love to see a gaming-focused social media platform on the fediverse.

@ch0ccyra1n @fediverse Great topic.

A big thing that's lacking at the moment is not so much new platforms, but dedicated instances using the existing Fediverse platforms.

A great example of what I mean is something like Urbanists.video. It's a PeerTube instance dedicated to videos about urban planning, cycling, and transport.

We need more dedicated instances like that for more special interest communities.

Just imagine a PeerTube and LemmyBB instance dedicated to baking. Or Buddhism. Or the global Armenian diaspora. Or folk music. Or quilt makers. Or charity fundraisers. Or particular social issues. Or high school principals. Or a particular university. Or independent short films. Or netball. Or watercolour artists.

The more dedicated communities like that exist, the stronger the Fediverse ecosystem is as a whole.
