We can have those niche communities, but the problem is reaching out to the average user (who isn’t in to tech) to join.
If, for example, some non-tech podcast decided to have a Lemmy community instead of a subreddit, then there would be a proportion people who join for that. But I imagine the numbers would be very low considering most shows also have other socials so many people would join the discord server instead. Also in this hypothetical, nothing stops someone from creating an unofficial subreddit which would likely become the popular one.

niche comms are a problem, they are all on reddit unfortunately, not enough people will join. also those subs dont suffer as much attrition as subs like news, politics, movies, sports,gossip based subs.
