If I remember correctly, on Reddit there was a /r/bestofImaginary, could that be an option? We could repost there the top content of the month from Starships, Witches etc, and also post general imaginary content?
To be honest, the niches seem a bit too small with the current size of Lemmy
Well you see. I get your point but those niches are as you said niches. Lemmy sadly doesn’t have a way to tag posts and for people to subscribe to prefered tags so they see the content they like. There are already a few more general artwork communities and the point of imaginary communities is to share images of the objects people are into without “forcing” other artworks onto them. To make the imaginary communities easier to find there’s [email protected] to showcase them. As long the niche communities are there they should be able to (hopefully) grow with time. Everything has to start somewhere.
I think I now get what you meant. If you mean crossposting posts to general one then I don’t think it’s a good idea because it will result in a big number of duplicate posts on feeds which may in turn result in people disliking the communities. And as I stated there are already general artwork communities and there’s no need for another one with “imaginary” branding on it.
Hello,
Thank you for your comment.

Keeping the niche communities makes sense, the idea is more to have a generic one that would have a broader scope.
People then have the choice to just follow the general one or the specific ones

Indeed, the idea was more to have a catch all rather than clogging the feed
