I don't know, this kind of reasoning seems to create too much empty "content" and not enough real communities. Yeah, creating a bunch of generalist coms will get traffic and engagement, but the people there don't actually share anything in common, it's just a time waster.
I don't want Lemmy to be a time wasting app, I want it to have genuine communities with valuable content instead of endless AskReddit, AITA, AIO, etc etc etc. Therefore, I'm of the opinion that people should create communities about their hobbies and create high quality content there, which will drive demand. If the community ends up too specific, they can always just cross post to a more generic one as well.

Damn, are you a private banker or something? This is so many, especially CEOs
Yeah, seeing the kid die was awesome after he bragged about killing the dog hahahaha
Such a cool movie with great shots and coreography
Just watched John Wick last night. Pretty cool but honestly his motivation is kind of dumb. Yeah, the dog has great sentimental value but then you go and kill like 40 people and throw your life away? Maybe the point of the movie is that he never really got out of the life, indeed
Learning the Delta Green RPG system and reading up on operations and lore so I can run it with my fiancée and her friends over the weekend :)
More specifically: John Coltrane Charles Mingus
Getting back into some jazz. After spending most of the last 6 months listening to classical only, I seem to have become more capable of discerning melodic themes and variations, so jazz sounds waaay better now
Free speech shouldn't be a thing and the countries that go furthest with this "right" are dying because of it (looking at you, USA). Before anyone says "what about when it's your opponents controlling the speech?": they already do where I live and with my beliefs, and I still think it's within the rights of the government to control speech
We also need people sharing their niche interests and creating discussion... Reddit thrives on these small communities that only find an accessible entrypoint on their platform.
The Dark Knight and It part 1. Both great pop culture movies, the highlights for me were Harvey Dent on Batman and Bev on It, both cool performances and characters
It's based off the best selling game ever with one of, if not the most dedicated and obsessed fanbase, and appeal to children. The Minecraft IP made so many people millionaires with content creation, it shouldn't be a surprise that the same consumers would go see the official movie
I guess movies would be a specific enough topic for me, but what I mean is people with a passion for, say, film noir shouldn't wait for film noir fans to show up on a thread, they should just create the content and hope the others find it.
I want to be clear that I'm not judging any "time waster" type of communities. It's fun to discuss random questions during downtime at work, it's just not where a strong community is formed. Reddit lives on through everything precisely because of the niche communities, not because of r/pics or something
