Granted: the undead start posting “BBBRRRAAAAAAIIINNNSSS” in all your favor communities.

Nope.

As soon as these niche communities get as big as reddit's, everything else will be as big as reddit and you'll see all the same unbearable asshole mob behavior as on reddit.

You can choose:

a) a small community that is more supportive and friendly BUT does not have a plethroa of niche interests

or

b) a large community that has a plethora of niche interests but has asshole mob behavior

You can't have a large, supportive and friendly community with many niche interests.

Case in point: I am here because I went through my main feed hot and new and am now doing local new because I'm bored.

Logitech G305, no complaints.

Let's be real, the mouse community is the only thing on Reddit I'm going to miss, there is a big scene on X and hopefully the community here will build up over time! I think it can, it's only a matter of time, I'm trying to get all my friends to join Lemmy as well now.
