For me personally there’s a handfull (namely two) small subs that are just too niche to gain any reasonable traction on Lemmy (yet).

Company and community subreddits for products I use and contests/giveaways. Also there are people on there I can help that I used to do in a professional way, but because of my health, don’t anymore, and it gives me a sense of… accomplishment? Constructive and creative fulfillment that people on Lemmy just don’t need/seek out.
I used to help people too. Until I noticed most of the people I was helping were actually bots, and they never responded or interacted at all. Or if I ever did encounter the odd human, they were radicalised and angry from being bombarded by negative rage bait and would lash out.
That is where a decent community helps, but doesn’t get rid of the problem. Most of my help was around software and people having issues and having worked in that field I just avoid posts with certain warning signs or ones that trigger me. Also helps that I block and avoid accounts and subreddits that set me off. Mind you I have quit reddit for Lemmy once only to find the contests that were on reddit that were appearing on Lemmy were bot posts and not valid, so I had to rejoin and my original username and karma reset.
