Are there really so few car enthusiasts on this site? This sub seems to have such little traffic. What gives? (lemmy.world)

Coming from Reddit, there were multiple car-related subs and they all saw some fairly heavy traffic with lots of posts and comments. Heck, even some of the model-specific ones seem to get more interaction than this sub does. What's the deal?

For sure, though I'll note I know many people who dislike cars as the dominant form of transportation in a society but are also car enthusiasts from the hobbyist perspective (this would also include me).

Sounds like me. I love sport cars, but really think that we should use walking, bikes and public transports as as possible.

In my country, Switzerland, it’s clearly possible for people living in the city to have no car. I live on the countryside so it’s not my case, but people rely way too much on cars.

Yep, this is me too. I absolutely hate car centric city infrastructure... But am also restoring a classic mini. They're a cool piece of engineering, just a shit way to transport lots of people
