    What are some examples of niche communities that are declining?

    Granted, I’ve only been here since the reddit migration, but after a short chaotic period, I’ve only seen growth in the communities I’ve been an active participant in.

      Personally I wonder if OP just saw the huge reddit community creation burst earlier this year and thought that’s it, it’s Reddit now.

      I’d wager 90% of those communities are ghost towns right now, with the creators long gone. Everyone just wants to be in charge of a huge community, but very few actually want to hang around and build/nurture one.
