Gaming, news, tech, general literature. All of these are somewhat thriving, with a steady influx of posts and comments. At the same time, the userbase is sorely lacking for more niche communities.

I was part of the Linguistics subreddit, but I don't feel qualified to open a kbin magazine or lemmy community for it. While I did have linguistics as my major in university, I had to quit after getting my bachelor's credits but before finishing my thesis (due to depression).
I edited loads of my old comments to suggest people join kbin, but it seems the mods of /r/linguistics hate that. They were all removed with no exceptions.
Sharing articles that are interesting or important to know
People asking questions about linguistics (a frequent one was people asking about what some kind of feature is called in the field, kind of "what do I have to search for to learn more about this?")
Linguistic studies that were featured in general media (as long as neither the study nor the media coverage is garbage)
Stickied FAQ post and a regular general questions post
People sharing their own work that they think others might find interesting
Podcast episodes and YouTube videos about linguistics that are worth promoting
I think the only things related to linguistics that weren't welcome were posts where people come up with folk etymologies, spreading disproven theories or claiming one language being superior than another.
Conlanging: You'd sometimes see questions about linguistics in general (usually typology) by a conlanger, but I don't think I ever saw anything other than that. I would guess that links relating to conlangs/conlanging were deleted, with a suggestion to post them to /r/conlangs instead.
Is there any kbin instance that is seriously considering defederating Meta/Threads? ( kbin.social )
I've checked the fedipact signatories, but they all seem to be lemmy instances.

While larger, more general communities are thriving on the Fediverse - I'm missing out on the niche communities ( kbin.social )
