how narrow is too narrow?
would you build a community around a very narrow topic?

A focused community makes it easier to attract the right people and establish a clear identity. If it starts getting repetitive or membership growth completely stalls, that's a good signal to widen the topic slightly rather than abandoning the idea altogether.

Build one if the people are really into it.
Too narrow is when there’s basically nothing left to talk about after a few weeks and no one sticks around.
As long as the topic keeps people coming back it’s fine.
I think narrow is actually good in the beginning. The real problem starts when the topic is so small that people run out of things to discuss. If you can still think of new questions, problems and updates around it every week, I’d say it’s not too narrow.

Yeah, I would if there's enough peple actively interested in it. too narrow is when you run out of useful things to discuss or new members to attract.
Yeah, going niche first would be a better choice imo. A small audience but with high intentions would always be easy to deal with than a large but low-intentioned one.
