Our community !homebrewing@sopuli.xyz has for now everything beer, wine, cider… it didn’t reach the point of creating another specific, niche community. So I totally get the niche interests aren’t represented here yet and the number of homebrewers is big.

Still we get good engagement for lemmy and there are active people from industry, so I wouldn’t call it exactly small.

I am glad that you like it. It would be nice to have little more traffic but post quality is more important so I can’t complain.

Shamelessly promoting my community again: !homebrewing@sopuli.xyz

It averages about 1 post per week but it certainly isn’t dead.

I usually explain it simply:

“Do you use email?” “Yeh” “It works similar doesn’t matter which provider you choose Proton, G-mail, Yahoo and your mail can go to all of the others.”
