Like, why wouldn't people be interested in knowing that the African slave trade of the colonial period actually started with Jewish kids, but they all died in the African climate of Sao Tome, so the Portuguese started buying slaves from the Congolese, which they captured from neighboring tribes, to work the fields??

Ha dude, I'm always happy to listen to people who make me go "Did they just write this for me or something?" There's plenty of niche things people will just ignore or seem disinterested in, it's good to look and probe around so don't feel too disheartened or discouraged. I've become a recluse over the years and relent giving up on people for so long because some people merge/find their cliques, there's no healthy way to force yourself into a group without compromising what makes you happy. I think everything you mentioned is awesome, and I feel the same way!

Please message or something if you want! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Just because you mentioned KSP and have been having fun with SSTOs recently, feel free to join the KSP community here too! There's people who look for these communities and probably feel put off by it being a fairly new group from the lacks a lot huge activity, but posting would help encourage and really bring people together to show their work without it being competitive or so "established"! There's posts from people who deserve being able to discuss their work or look at others already on there, I don't want yours or their hard effort in the game and experience to be for nothing! Doesn't have to be anything amazing, often people's best work are the ones they haven't felt ready to share/post so no judging! :)

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !ksp@lemmy.world
