A lot of niche communities haven't jumped over in big numbers yet, we're still in the phase where everyone has to congregate in the "general" communities. As those grow I think we'll get the same thing we saw on reddit where niche communities splinter off when they start to overtake the conversation.

I had a very similar experience, my lemmy.ml account is about a year old and I bounced off it several times because of a lack of content and engagement. But now I think it'll stick, thanks spez.

As a user on kbin you can block a whole domain. That definitely works on the post level and I would assume the comment level as well but I haven't tested that part.
