have any niche lemmings taken off in the 6 months since the API scandal?
One has to appreciate that Reddit he organically and got segmented in subs over time, who knows how many empty subs died on the wayside before the many niches we hold dear took off.

The cordcutters subreddit was really nice, users constantly engaging in talks about better alternatives to cable/internet/streaming options.
The lemmy version is like an aquarium full of dead fish that nobody cares to clean out. The only ‘poster’ is a ‘news’ bot that just spams every article from cordcutters.com (most of which are just advertisements for deals/discounts).
At this point even ghost towns have more presence and/or engagement. If you block the ‘news’ bot, there’s next-to-nothing there.
!casualconversation@lemmy.world is getting more and more active, with a spontaneous AMA ongoing.
!moviesandtv@lemm.ee is quite active.
Basically most of the niche communities are extremely slow or dead. It’s understandable since the daily lemming user rate is 33,000 where seeing a post with 33,000 likes is not uncommon Reddit.
I’m not sure what you’re asking. Do you mean Lemmy communities, Lemmy instances, or something else?
This confused me, too. I generally see"Lemming" used as the equivalent of “Redditor”: someone who uses Lemmy.
