Maybe my definition of a "niche" subreddit is different, but these just look like broad, generally popular categories.

Like click Sports and Games and the top on is... /r/sports? Sure, it's relevant, but is it niche? I don't really see how this is much better than just typing "$myInterest reddit" into a search engine.

Unless I'm missing something, I just don't see how this helps my find a subreddit for my niche.

You can find a niche by selecting a category from the left sidebar. Once you select a category, you see tags related to it on the top screen.

For sports these are - Board games, billiards, American football martial arts etc to name a few.

I guess you didn't explored the category. You may find it useful, try it out :)

I did, I just think those tags are still very broad categories in their own right. Just a difference of expectation, perhaps.
