How specific communities should be? (feddit.it)

On Reddit there are very specific and helpful communities, personally I often look up on communities about Adobe softwares. What if I wanted to create specific communities on Lemmy? Ideally I’d creare an Indesign community, but do you think it would be better to keep it more general, something like Graphic design or Adobe, since Lemmy is much smaller then Reddit?

The more specific you make a community, the fewer users you will have. And Lemmy is not very big.

The broader you make a community, harder it will be to feel like you can make a very specific question and it will also be harder to find so we will never have niche content

Pick your poison, I’d go for the slow but steady usefulness
