I gave up Reddit entirely even though 95% of my posts were hobby related. Unfortunately not a single one of my hobbies have subs on Saidit, but I can wait! Are niche hobby subs a good idea here or is there not enough people?

Niche hobby subs are an excellent idea! Please make one. I myself started s/AlternativeFashion . It's tiny but hopefully will grow. You should also check if there is already something related to your hobby and post there as well? But if anything, this place definitely needs more hobby subs.

That's great to hear. I just have to wait 2 weeks and I will, I don't really mind waiting. Starting a new tiny community and helping people with my hobby and hopefully getting new people into it will be huge motivation to do it more often too, I used to love teaching and helping people with it. I'll try to contribute to some other subs too, of course. I just started a new job so I haven't been spending much time on the internet.

I recommend slowly starting to keep a backlog of content to post as you wait, so you don't have to scramble to post as you start out. This helps when you have a kind of busy day but need to post something to keep the sub afloat with new content.

That's a good idea. I have a bunch of older stuff that I never posted to reddit or anywhere else, it just needs to be organized and prepped a little bit.

s/AlternativeFashion definitely sounds like an interesting topic. I subbed.
