There's a lot of internet-style weirdos on the site.

I honestly didn’t know there was a car community on here. I’m not necessarily sure what to share in a general car community though. A lot of the car specific discussion for my car happens on forums. Idk, I’m down to try out the community here too
Hi friend, this is me for sure. I love sim racing and rally, but I hate that modern US cities aren't planned for foot and bike travel. I also enjoy the engineering and design skills that go into making a nice car. I just think they are neat!
I think it's the demographic and the lack of mass adoption (car people tend to be part of the latter unless they are nerds). Model specific subs were hit and miss. For example, the Porsche sub was awesome but BMW was toxic af and tiring with everybody shitting on the new designs constantly and not contributing to the discussion much beyond that, so I definitely don't miss it. That said, I think forums like bimmerport and rennlist are going to see an increase in traffic as people leave reddit behind, if Lemmy doesn't end up absorbing the exodus.
