Gaming, news, tech, general literature. All of these are somewhat thriving, with a steady influx of posts and comments. At the same time, the userbase is sorely lacking for more niche communities. In my case it'd be stuff like poetry, yoga, religion, linguistics, meditation. Or many other communities I'd doubt they'd form a larger userbase here, at least to the degree that it'd foster good discussions. Communities where there are a larger amount of "normal people", that are not tech-aware, and who have no interest in migrating off centralized corporate solutions. That just want a large space to discuss what they're interested in.

This for me at least, makes it hard to completely leave reddit (or even Facebook and their groups!). Do you think the fediverse will ever reach the point where this would become a non-issue?

I am subbed to this already. This community almost exclusively participates via microblog, not threads, so none of their content comes to my front page. I can't change that that community operates that way. I don't care (yet) for the microblog portion of the Fediverse.

I'm subbed to every knitting community federated with kbin.

If it's showing up on the microblog, it's probably Mastodon posts showing up there with the #knitting - and the moderator has set the magazine to automatically pull them in. Not much you can do - other than pump-priming thinsg by posting some interesting content/questions. I guess.

Yeah this is my understanding of it: the knitting magazines I've found so far are just all Mastadon-related.

I don't care for the format of Twitter, so I don't see myself taking to Mastadon too well.
