There's an Aztec city building game called Tlatoani. It's in early access, but has enough meat on the bone that it's one of my goto games.

Out of curiosity I checked Steam DB for active player numbers. I have discovered at any given point I am 10% to 25% of the given player base BY MYSELF. I am 1 of 4 people playing this game right now in the world. With the prevalence of the internet I always assume whatever weird bullshit you're into there's at least a thousand people talking about it; making memes outsiders could never comprehend. It's actually novel to fly under the radar for once.

What do you do that doesn't have a community associated with it?

I have a fair amount of things that are not exactly popular but its not like zero people are into it.

A vehicle building/combat game called From The Depths is my current obsession, well past 1000 hours in it.

I'm building a decentralised file system.

It works, is FOSS and all.

Probably not rare in general but rare where I'm from. Racing, asphalt circle track stuff. Like NASCAR but much smaller, cheaper, and local tracks.

Theologie studies

I play the gatcha game Monster Strike, which is pretty rare in the West.

It only has a Japanese version after they ended support for the English version like 10 years ago.

Not really.

Crypto, LLMs, and cars.

Yeah they're popular outside of Lemmy, but mentioning that your a fan of any of those things on here is a great way to get your inbox flooded with hate. Everybody on here hates those three things with a burning passion.

Only reason why I still have a reddit account is so that I can talk about these things without getting berated for my hobbies.

Its fine as hobbies if you dont force it on others really. I hate llms but I also hate pop and rap music, as long as im not forced to use it im fine.

Everything shoving llms in my face (that really dont work at all) is the equivalent of a car driving by blaring rap at 110 db. Instant anger.

Im into cars as well, I think lemmy is more hating that we are forced into having to use cars, and assholes who drive unneeded trucks. I dont think anyone on here cares about people who are mechanics or tinkerer. Its more the system that forced us to be reliant on cars.

It's totally understandable why people think AI is slop, the stuff that isn't is unnoticeable. And because most of it is slop. Even the "good" stuff sucks most of the time. But you can get gold out of them there hills. But you gotta mine it. Which means a lot of shoveling dirt. These companies don't give a fuck. They'll feed you dirt happily.

There are dedicated communities on Lemmy to these things -- and they're pretty quiet. Post new content there and engage in conversations and be the change you want to see.
