I just discovered this community, it's pretty cool! I like these threads.

I run 2 niche communities for random train nerds in Australia: [email protected], and [email protected]. BrisbaneTrains is mostly dead, but MelbourneTrains has been going almost since this instance began, and thanks to living in Melbourne, it's a lot easier to post OC.

There's not very much activity there either, but to be fair I haven't exactly been pushing it. We currently have 260ish subscribers, and 170ish posts. I'd guess I've made about 150 of those posts. There's a few people commenting now which is nice, and OC/certain news articles often go past 20 upvotes

Nice, feel free to advertise it on the weekly thread in [email protected]

The curse of a lot of niche community-runners on the Fediverse: supplying most of the content ;-;
