It is objectively a lot more male than Reddit or other social media. Reddit has many issues, but lack of women is not one of them.

    The niche communities are so fragmented. One post every few months or just abandoned compared to hourly posts on reddit, examples like gaming subs for specific games.

      Not enough users. Mostly it is only a moderator + a few other people who are actively posting something. Sometimes, it is only a moderator. And a comunity becomes more like a personal blog.

      I mean tbf more people really should participate in posting in those comms. Me included.

      1 or a few person posting daily with zero interaction other than up or down votes will burn out eventually

      At the very least I try to comment on the posts if I can’t post myself

        As a daily niche subject poster, yes, please participate, even if it’s just something simple. It makes me feel like I’m not just talking to an empty room. Upvotes are fine, but I post to try to get you guys enthused and taking interest in the subject matter.
