Agreed, an occasional 'niche community spotlight' post to different meta communities would be great. I've found heaps here I had no idea existed!
The old subreddit r/bestof was great for finding niche communities. Maybe a Lemmy version could exist, but aimed specifically at highlighting niche communities and their content?
we do have !newcommunities@lemmy.world
There is also !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl and this was posted the other day: https://stirante.github.io/lemmy-discover/
There was the subreddit of the day on reddit that was cool to see smaller or obscure ones highlighted. Something like that would be nice on here as well.
