My title might be a bit hyperbolic, but stuff like this worries me. I love to read and I love reading on a kindle. This has been going on for a while, but it has now reached absurd levels.

Hmmm I am more of a sci-fi person, but I’ve definitely still seen some threads talking about fantasy books. I’m guessing you’re already on the main book communities like !books@lemmy.ml !literature@beehaw.org ? They are pretty active and I do see discussion on threads talking about fantasy books. There is also the fantasy community !fantasy@lemmy.ml – which does admittedly have pretty low traffic (though, you could be the change you want to see…). I found one niche community that was very recently made !cozyfantasy@wayfarershaven.eu
I get how hard it can be to find active book reading communities & wish I had more suggestions in the fantasy realm. If you have a specific sub genre in mind, search for it or maybe even make a community for it. I was surprised to find a few different scifi sub genres already had active communities on lemmy & even recently made communities are growing fairly quickly with the new users.
Good luck finding your next page turner & lmk if you want sci-fi recs :)
Edit: to add and un-add exclamation points
To be fair you don’t need that many people to commit to a session in a book reading club before it’s full enough to work. Anything more is just a bonus.
Thats true, just a few thoughtful people can make for good discussions and recommendations :)
Just a heads up, I think you should remove the exclamation points in your links, it resulted in a 404 for me before I removed them.
using a exclamation mark should work, and it does work exactly as intended for me. Each of these links properly opens to the community on my local instance
To clear up some confusion: Kbin users need links without the ! and lemmy users need them in.
thanks for the heads up, ill change that
update: I tried removing them, but it made it so the links no longer worked for me, so I put them back
