Even in a cafe, you need one customer on top of the waiter
A lot of places on general topics are ghost towns, !skincareaddiction@sh.itjust.works is a general topic but don't get any activity, so nicher communities will definitely struggle
oh wow I need to go to fancier cafes... where I'm at there's just a counter where you get your stuff and then you go to your table...
OK maybe a better analogy is an "open to the public" picnic. Some people put blankets out and are sharing from their baskets. If they're the only person sharing, everybody gets bored. But you can still have a good interaction if 3-4 people are sharing per blanket.
Yes, that's the spirit!
