    Hey can I get a community for my extremely obscure lisp dialect? Can I get another for when I fork and rebrand that?

    Filling and accommodating niches is bad how exactly?

      Finding and accommodating the niches of troops's girlfriends and wives while they're overseas committing murder is praxis.

      It separates people more. I wouldn't subscribe to something like /c/gardening for example, because I'm not interested enough in it. But I would skim through a post on /c/main about gardening and maybe learn a bit.

      I like reading about other people's hobbies, especially with a leftist perspective on them, but I'm not going to subscribe to a ton of niche communities.

        So if you're interested in topics a,b,c,d and don't care for e,f,g,h,i. Would it be better to give users the ability to subscribe and filter out the content they are looking for, or should they be forced to sift through all kinds of content? So let's say, trans liberation stuff would get burried by meme shit on one main sub, you think that is good? I think this reasoning is really weird and actually harmful to the site. Don't you think there is a time and place for everything? How would any serious content get the attention it needs on one giant pile of unrelated stuff?

          It depends on the topic. I'm not saying no communities, I'm saying not too many communities.

            I agree we shouldn't make communities willy-nilly. But it is really hard to even kick-start a community, so worst case scenario is it ends up being really inactive.

      noun

      1. a comfortable or suitable position in life or employment.

      2.a specialized segment of the market for a particular kind of product or service.

      Sounds sus, market segmentation in the spectacle of society? no thanks
