However, I oftentimes find myself doom scrolling through reddit, just because of some nonsense BS propaganda, ads, etc .., snuck inbetween of the community posts I'm actually interested in.

How can we convince the people over there to move away?

Which communities? I personally find most of my favorite communities to be better in lemmy than on Reddit, with a few exceptions.

Well there are some video game ones.

Ya I just got to reddit for specific video game ones now basically. Or specific TV shows.

If the community doesn't exist, have you tried creating one?

If it does exist, have you tried posting there?

Believe me or not that's how it starts.

Buildapcsales gamedeals boardgamedeals etc. it was nice when they still have Api access because you could track prices.

Anything niche by computer geek standards So, like, anything from normie interests to things that are so niche that you need 30 million MAU to have an active space.

A few niche examples:

/r/generative /r/musicians /r/wildernessbackpacking /r/tropicalweather /r/analogcommunity /r/heavymind

Good luck convincing the non-technical users there to come here. This place is currently great for interests catered to programmers and sysadmins (speaking as one!), but artist and hobby communities are seriously lacking.
