I’ll add that I’m using lemmit.online for some of my really, really niche subreddits where there were only a handful of active posters from all of Reddit’s users. It just mirrors posts from those subreddits into Lemmy communities, and does not sync comments.
For posts which are links to articles or videos which I want to be aware of but don’t need to discuss, that’s enough for me.
For posts which are topics I might want to discuss, I can either repost them to the broader Lemmy community I joined or (if the topic is too specific) know I’ll have to open “that other site” if I feel the need to talk about it.
Note that some Lemmy instances have blocked lemmit.online because they feel mirroring is spammy (especially for non-niche subreddits where a Lemmy alternative is available) so YMMV.
Using broader top categories is great advice.
