I thought all you guys left Reddit already
- I left r/popular and r/all but lemmy still not yet an adequate replacement for non-tech niche hobbies and interests.
  
  Can you give me an example of subreddits that you still follow? I'm setting up a fediversed instance on alien.top, which would mean that you'd be able to follow/interact with people still on reddit from the fediverse.
  
  r/India, r/India investments, r/Kerala, r/malayalammovies, r/insidemollywood, r/watches, r/Porsche.
  
  Nice, thank you. I'm still fixing some issues with the deployment, but hopefully it will be working soon. Do you mind if I send you a DM when it is ready?
  
  FYI: You can subscribe now to !watches@style.land which is mirroring /r/watches and !porsche@gearhead.town is mirroring /r/porsche.
  Do you know if the admins at https://kerala.party would be interested in having the mirrored India-related subs?

  Is that mostly due to a lack of critical mass of users, or are there other factors?

  The former. I would love to start these online communities but I don't have the time nor emergy to maintain them; I'm barely browsing reddit and lemmy as it is.
  For now, I can only compromise and use reddit.
