    Yeah it is a niche activity, sure.

    !camping@sh.itjust.works
    !outdoors@lemmy.ml
    !ultralight@lemmy.world
    !solarpunktravel@slrpnk.net
    !outdoor@slrpnk.net

    Camping i think theoretically has some actual users, the solarpunkers seem to mostly repost stuff, not do or plan to do something. I don’t think consolidation will do much.

      Maybe try to redirect people from !camping@sh.itjust.works to !outdoor@slrpnk.net ? Some subscribers might like to be told there is another active community

        To be completely honest, i am a bit turned off how slrpnk’s take on niche communities appears to be. They seem to care not much about the topic, but how and where communities are hosted. They don’t link to the bicycle touring community because it’s on .world, not to camping because it’s on sh.itjust.works etc, as these instances (and many others) are “not part of the free world” and opressors. This is not how you grow the fediverse, i believe.

          Oh, interesting, I didn’t know. Seems a bit detrimental indeed

            It was this chat in the solarpunk travel community that made me go all homer simpson back into the hedge.
