Small communities that are similar should think about mushing together for activity. Example: Hiking, Backpacking, Thru Hiking. It will generate more Activity and then branch out. We have too many niche pages that won’t be active.

    Video games are another big one.

    I always favor !games@sh.itjust.works rather than !games@lemmy.world, but I know some people think the opposite.

    At the moment, it’s mostly a debate between people wanting to centralize content on LW, and people who prefer it on another well-known instance.

    I’m guilty of that with !moviesandtv@lemm.ee and !movies@lemmy.world.

    But to be fair, games and movies and general interest, all the communities seem to be doing well, even if split.

      As much as I hate the bot content on principle, communities that either repost reddit or scrape some other aggregator at least have enough content for a community to begin to form around it. There just aren’t enough posters anywhere.
