there's no communities for my niche interests!!!

more like "i want a ready-made community where other people already putting effort into posting cool and intersting stuff, and all I want to do is sit on my ass and shower posts generously with """muh upvotes™""""

whining about whining. classic!

I wish instead that people would post in the general communities first, then spin off into a new community if there is interest.

Like, we don't need a whole community for the new Dragon Age game or whatever, but we do have a games community that would benefit from the post. Then if there are 20 Dragon Age posts every day it could obviously support it's own community.

This. All of us Reddit Refugees (me included) fucked up when we arrived and put the cart before the horse. Lemmy is like a small town; you may simply not get all the specific communities you want, but there's probably somebody with a similar enough interest that they'll talk to you about the stuff you like, and they probably have things that you would like to talk about if you saw it. Higher-level categories should do fine unless and until a certain type of content starts to annoy other users by its sheer prevalence.

As someone else said, Lemmy is the niche community.

For someone whose major gripe is whining you sure seem to do a lot of it.

I take offense to it because you're suggesting that the problem is us, and not the system which resulted in empty communities

Who gonna operate the sinkpissers community

During the initial mass migration from Reddit I got the impression a lot of people were starting communities on Lemmy that had been successful on Reddit but put no effort into them. I'll bet there is a statistic yet to be figured out that says you need a million platform members before you can have enough members to sustain a niche community like c/gothcountry.

New user here. Where should I create my community? Are there servers or groups or something that I should review first? I don't know the difference between a server and .world or .ml or whatever.

Sure man, lemme just real quick create a whole ass community, spend countless hours striving to attract people and moderate it when these guys try to post some horrifying shit... all that to find the location of the one missing collectible from the game that I'm currently trying to complete.
