> - Niche communities only really exist on social media. Before "big social media" they existed on forums and before that they existed on the one big social media, the BBS. Without the internet these communities would just wither over time. I don't really see much "niche communities" striving on social medias really. There are less of them, but there are still a lot of old school forums which I believe still do a better job for small communities. I am still connecting almost daily to 2 of them + a few others more infrequently. I think the oldest was created in 1998. It is much smaller than at its peak but if you look at statistics it has been showing stable activity in the last 10 years with the usual seasonal variations (much lower activity in summer). I think there is still a place for those. |
