People goes where people are. So it takes some major scew up from the current networks. Or a newcomer that have some killer feature everybody will want / need.
Lemmy/Piefed/Etc has a killer feature (or maybe characteristic), but one that only a fraction of users find appealing. Being decentralized makes the network more resistant to many of the problems we see on Reddit and other networks, or at least, reduces their impact.
That’s the problem with Lemmy. It’s not large enough to have active niche communities like gaming handhelds like Retroid ones, Anbernic ones, Steam Deck, etc.
The way I see it is that as long as Lemmy doesnt become as amazingly terrible as reddit or faceboook or twitter there will be such communities created eventually…may take a decade or two for people to birth them and moderate them but they are almost inevitable to come into existence if the demand for such communities gets big enough.
so its nothing more than a community that talks about Laundry? sorry if this sounds dumb but man I had been on reddit since the 2010’s and I am just now learning about this lol
there’s so many things that go into laundry care that mostt people need to know about but will never choose to learn about
Like iif your detergent uses certain enzymes then you cant use that detergent to clean wool clothing…but the thing is that like 95 % or more of all detergents have enzymes in them…so…
Also if you live in apartment building what rights do you have to clean out your washing machines’ filters? What ability do you have to clean those filters?
Also which detergents are asstastically bad scams and should never be considered as detergents? Which detergents are actually good? Which companies have bribed those in the media to make it look.like their laundry based products work bbetter than theey actually do? Which detergents shoupd you consider for different msterials? How mucj will they cost over time? SHould you just make asnd use your own homemade detergents?
also Do homemade eco friendly fabric softeners exist and should you even use fabric softeners at all?
How good are copper and lamolin coated clothing at clesning themselves as both of these substances have been found to have anti microbial properties?
How do other regions that dont have easy access to washing machines and dryers do their laundry? Can we take any advice from theiir methods?
How eco friendly are certain types oof clothingsa and even certain types of washing methods? It has been. shown that some of the biggest polluters of microplastics into our world today are microscopic specks from cleaning aritficial fabrics like polyester
Ar ethere any scam washing machines or dryers in the msrket today? How can we tell that they are garbage at cleaning and drying clothing?
When you hhang dry clothing what types of methods could you use to ensure that you dont promote the growth of certain hydrophobic microbes?
The topics go on and on…
Lemmy has no community dedicated to talking about any of these topics…
hahaha, well consider me one of today’s lucky 10,000 then.
Well if you ever decide to start a dedicated laundry community, I’ll subscribe. Sounds like you already have the perfect sidebar material written out already lol. Cheers!
Honestly I dontbhave the time in my average day to moderate the community so who would moderate it? I dont have the time T-T . Others probably do. They can start it if they want and moderate it if they want .
Yes I would be pleased to expand thank you for asking.
Lemmy is a mini reddit, moderators own the space, like a feudal lord. To take off, as an alternative to the feudal spaces of big social media, we need to offer a better alternative.
To that effect, a clear set of moderation rules would help, and for that set of rules to end in a jury trial of members.
But Lemmy is just software. Anyone can throw up an instance with whatever rules they want lol. So why not spin up your own instance with these rules and jury members?
Same, Lenny isn’t mature enough to have some of the very niche communities yet
It’s not even mature enough to have an active Minecraft community, imagine how’s the situation with smaller or indie games…
That’s the problem with changing social networks.
People goes where people are. So it takes some major scew up from the current networks. Or a newcomer that have some killer feature everybody will want / need.
And lemmy lacks that “killer feature”
Lemmy/Piefed/Etc has a killer feature (or maybe characteristic), but one that only a fraction of users find appealing. Being decentralized makes the network more resistant to many of the problems we see on Reddit and other networks, or at least, reduces their impact.
That killer feature is also very unappealing/confusing to the average user. Very similar to Linux in that regard
Yeah, it’s not something lots of people will care about. And some eventually stops at “choosing in instance”.
It’s not even mature enough to support some mainstream interests, like sports.
no laundry community on Llemmy either…
Lol what is this, I’m out of the loop here lol
Lemmy doesnt have a laundry dedicated community anywhere that Ive looked… reddit does however…
So I guess the Lemmings let mama and dada do their laundry for them still 😅
That’s the problem with Lemmy. It’s not large enough to have active niche communities like gaming handhelds like Retroid ones, Anbernic ones, Steam Deck, etc.
True. And it sucks.
The way I see it is that as long as Lemmy doesnt become as amazingly terrible as reddit or faceboook or twitter there will be such communities created eventually…may take a decade or two for people to birth them and moderate them but they are almost inevitable to come into existence if the demand for such communities gets big enough.
I think it would require reddit to die off even more than it already has, which just may happen.

Lemmy never will be big enough without a change in thinking from the feudal nature to a more liberal democracy, alas.
Can you expand a bit? What do you mean “feudal nature” and “liberal democracy”? Do you mean society as a whole or Lemmy in general?
Yes I would be pleased to expand thank you for asking.

Ah, I see. Thanks for explaining
