Are there really so few car enthusiasts on this site? This sub seems to have such little traffic. What gives? (lemmy.world)

Coming from Reddit, there were multiple car-related subs and they all saw some fairly heavy traffic with lots of posts and comments. Heck, even some of the model-specific ones seem to get more interaction than this sub does. What's the deal?

You can't just talk about this weird cars sub without mentioning the name of it for others to join.

Also if you know of a classic car one, post that as well. I searched the communities and I think I found one and it had so few posts on it. This is especially sad coming from Reddit where the classic car sub would get at least a couple of posts a day. Even if they were of some random dude posting a picture or two, that's still nice to see.

Haven't linked to another community before so I'll probably get this wrong, but it's here:

https://lemmy.world/c/weirdwheels

Hopefully there's a bot or helpful admin that can reply with the correct way to do this. The link should get you there though.

And don't be shy! Start a community for classic cars yourself and add some build posts or show coverage! I've probably got some content I can toss in there...!

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: [email protected]

Hey hey! There it is. Good bot! Will use this as an example going forward.
