Just curious how everyone operates to find replacements of subreddits! For instance, I’d love to find an MSP lemmy instance, as well as instances related to things like music festivals, fishing, offroading, colorado hiking, and a gang of other topics! I know I can search via keywords, but there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of active Lemmy instances for some of the more niche things I’m into. Any suggestions would be awesome!

    I was going to leave a snarky reply saying “By going to reddit”, but you said you mentioned reddit in your post already. Unfortunately, Lemmy just doesn’t have the population to sustain niche communities. You might find them but then realize there are a only few old posts and no real activity.

      I was thinking this might be the case unfortunately, but it makes sense. Thanks for the confirmation, I also found a resource to find Lemmy communities from other responses, but thanks for helping me quell my expectations! I’m sure as Lemmy grows, I might find (or even create) those niche instances
