I find it hard to find communities for my ever-changing niche interests.
I’m working on community discussion boards which exist at the intersection of interests.
Eg. Mountain Biking/New Zealand, Propulsion/Submarine, Machine Learning/Aquaponics/Tomato, etc.
The search terms for interests are supplied from Wikipedia articles which avoids duplicate interests and allows for any level of granularity.
I find that key word functionality in search engines has degraded to the point that finding good content for niche interests is difficult. I’m hoping with this system I can view historical (and current) discussions around my many niche interest combos.
I’ve got the foundation done, I just need some feedback/advice on whether I’m reinventing the wheel here, or if others share this problem?
Reddit is great for finding general topics - science, news, hobbies, etc.
And the goal of this isn’t to replicate those more sweeping discussion boards because they’re great!
My issue is that once things get more niche, the subreddits are tough to find - they could have obscure names, and even just learning about them often involves another user recommending. Plus creating a subreddit for every niche intersection isn’t ideal.
With this I could zone in on exactly what I’m after, without sifting through all the unrelated stuff. With the Aquaponics/AI/Tomatoes, I’d be dealing with only that intersection point. Not the peripheral stuff.
