Small communities that are similar should think about mushing together for activity. Example: Hiking, Backpacking, Thru Hiking. It will generate more Activity and then branch out. We have too many niche pages that won’t be active.

Agreed; that does seem like an issue right now. For example, I like watches. And while there is - A - watches community, there’s also niches for expensive, affordable, mechanical, vintage, etc. We’re really not at the level of content where it makes sense to fragment it that much. I’d rather see all those posts rolled into one community until you reach enough of them to justify the split.
I’ll be doing my part to generate some content, but it’ll take a concerted effort to grow things.

First i’ll preface this by saying: I’m new to this whole Lemmy thing, but just searching for ‘watches’ and looking at the communities it listed, there’s:
https://lemmy.world/c/watches@lemmy.ml - the biggest one.
https://lemmy.world/c/watchescirclejerk - the circlejerk.
https://lemmy.world/c/vintagewatches - vintage stuff, at least some posts.
https://lemmy.world/c/AffordableWatches@kbin.social - affordable, looks quite dead…
https://lemmy.world/c/highendwatches - high end, no posts…
https://lemmy.world/c/chinesewatches - Chinese watches, again no users as far as I can tell…
https://lemmy.world/c/mechanicalwatches - mechanical watches, nothing happening here…
I’ve also seen watches posted elsewhere, but again… I’m quite new to this whole thing.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !watches@lemmy.ml, !watchescirclejerk@lemmy.world, !vintagewatches@lemmy.world, !highendwatches@lemmy.world, !chinesewatches@lemmy.world, !mechanicalwatches@lemmy.world
One tip on markdown formatting, you need to add two spaces at the end of a line for it to respect your manual line breaks.
Thank you, I’ve edited it so it looks correct :D
