I’ve gotten used to this. The posts where I write several paragraphs and go kinda in-depth on a topic, and even do some research in the background on to make sure I don’t talk complete nonsese routinely get no upvotes at all. The ones that rise to the top are snippy one-liner remarks that get a cheap laugh out of people, but honestly don’t add anything of substance to the discussion.
The niche community gets more attention and followers which might be better in the long run.
For that to happen it has to be seen and upvoted to make it into peoples feeds. And that’s the issue with the niche communities, not enough people to get past everything else to be seen on “all” or other places.
Not sure about here, but on Reddit we can cross post which references the source advertising the possibly better run sub / mutiny.
So true, I like tech stuff and even on Lemmy where people are more tech literate, there is mostly just porn politics and memes. I do still like putting in some high quality comments. Allows me to forget about the current state of things.
