I don't think it's that we want "big" communities, necessarily, as much as we want active communities. For instance, if there's a niche game I want to talk about, it's currently a roll of the dice whether or not there's a Lemmy community for it, and then if it does exist already then it's pretty much guaranteed to see 2, maybe 3 posts per week, tops.
That's really the only thing I miss about Reddit, being able to pretty much always have a discussion on any topic you'd want, at any given time.
Why not create a thread on a genre community like !jrpg@lemmy.zip or !fgc@lemmy.world ?
For niche things, you kinds have to go to reddit.
I mean the worst of reddit is on mainstream topics like politics anyways. You're less likely to see toxicity in like a gaming subreddit. (Less likely than politics anyways)
Or to the category community. You might not find an active group dedicated to Dodge Ram transmissions, but there's at least one group for Cars, or maybe even Trucks!
