I’m not gonna lie, sometimes it feels a bit lonely. I try to post on a few generic communities

Sometimes I can be the only poster for a few weeks. Makes me requestion the relevance of posting at all. I started posting to [email protected] recently just because at least my posts are widely seen, and other people post there as well.
I posted some stuff and ran into this plus my threads not getting federated to certain places. And 3 weeks later they are still the newest posts on those communities (Kbin’s ps1graphics and blender communities, note that Kbin communities seem to not use the community link format).
I had some technical questions and a roadblock too, but they are niche so I just… didn’t deal with it. Maybe there’s an instance out there that’d fit (for me, someone who dabbles in art and programming while not really being those things), but also I doubt it particularly because I’m only interested in a semi-niche programming language. Audience vs niche seems like an unwinnable balance.
I’ve thought about posting to a more popular lemmy.world community for the next thing I make as it would probably get more of a response, but probably not answers so that wouldn’t matter since the stuff I made so far was just random objects. Well, I guess getting answers for Blender questions is more likely.
Hello,
Welcome here! Did you try [email protected]? Seems reasonable active, and with a 2.5k userbase.
But yes indeed, it’s sometimes difficult to find the audience for a niche topic, general topics do better on average
