Personally I was getting a bit tired of not having one of my interests here so I created the magazine for it. We’ll just see if it takes off.
For some other niche interests…I’ll wait and see, I don’t feel invested enough to create the magazines for them.
(For those interested in vegetable gardening @VegetableGardening )
Yeah, I first took a look at lemmy and others a few weeks ago, when everyone was asking “what’s an alternative?” and at the time, despite so many people talking about the fediverse, there weren’t that many people or threads. And now look how active some communities are becoming!
Yeah I feel I have to do the same. I also created a community for my niche hobby and I found I have to be a bit more of a poster than I used to be, even if it means that for now the magazine is mostly me and pics of my garden.
