And I mean actively post on it, not just browsing it for info and guides and such.
For me personally there’s a handfull (namely two) small subs that are just too niche to gain any reasonable traction on Lemmy (yet).

Unfortunately the music communities here aren’t active enough. By which I mean the ones dedicated to music production, songwriting, etc. The Reddit communities aren’t what they used to be but they’re still fairly active, so after about six months of Reddit detox I made an account that’s the same name as my music project, strictly for the purpose of feedback, promotion, and networking with the artists that are still there.
And even in those communities, once robust discussions among pros and semi-pros have given way to bickering about AI, worthless “listen for listen” posts that don’t get you actual followers, and amateurs who can’t understand why their video of them poorly singing their dogshit song on their Walmart guitar didn’t instantly get 1000 streams.
But still, it’s someplace to go for now. I’d love nothing more than to learn of the existence of other active communities where one can talk with competent musicians, get meaningful criticism, and obtain followers who actually appreciate you as an artist.
I don’t venture outside of the music communities. At. All. Aside from this, Reddit is dead to me.
Yup not a single active DJ/production community here. I even tried getting an unofficial radio station going (and still want to someday, !radiolemmy@lemmy.blahaj.zone is the official community) but was hard pressed to find anyone willing to DJ or even submit their own music for airplay. So at this point if I ever get the project going again I’m probably going to have to recruit some redditors to at least get the station on the airwaves again.
