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?

I tried figuring out what exactly Mastodon was once and quickly lost interest when I couldn't find a simple answer. Regardless, you'd be surprised what we are into. Just because larger vehicles tend to be popular here, that doesn't mean lots of folks don't like smaller cars too. I like both. I got an old '64 Buick and considered many of times to buy a small Japanese Kei truck (can't get much smaller than that), but when you lookat what they cost, and parts availability, you can honestly do a lot better with a larger domestic truck for hauling stuff.

Sometimes it's simply because we don't have them here that makes people into them. Parts and the knowledge-base to keep them running is sometimes tough.
