I’m just curious why some people come here; in my case, it’s because it’s not the same as on centralized platforms. I love these kinds of forums.

Reddit got rid of my All button because they want to push people into echo chambers and controlled feeds. I only made an account to bitch about the Knicks, let me lurk.
When you browse by all, you see the patterns of subreddits turning political, same recycled posts being passed around, generalizations, things taken out of context, agendas.
By the way this place isn’t as different as you’d like to think, just a lot more ‘fuck the USA’ posts so idk, I’m still searching
To be honest, you will never find a generalized site/service that has many types of niche content like Reddit unless people coalesce to a single platform and the scale allows it.
I think it’s fine if you end up finding your niche community on some esoteric website/forum, more power to you. But for a single one-stop collection of niche communities, I think the best way to get there is just to sit tight with Lemmy/Piefed/Mastodon, honestly, because at some point those communities will reach critical mass and be self-sustaining (but not if people don’t stick around long enough for it to happen).
Of course also starting/contributing to your niche community speeds things along.

If you find anything, lmk. Lemmy is a fine reddit clone, but it doesn’t have enough niche content.
