It seems not, and I’ve been thinking that if this doesn’t change soon I’ll have to start that community myself. The problem is that during the “building it and waiting for them to come” stage I’d need to contribute to the community to encourage others to do the same, and my only contributions would be stuff like “I really wanted to try the MKC75 and I kept putting it in my cart and I did buy the keycaps that I thought would look really nice with the e-pink but then the board itself sold out and I feel like an idiot”. Would you guys be into that or…?
Instead of creating a new community why not posting “normal” keyboard here?
People are posting those keyboard because they are using it, maybe it means that there’s not much people here that don’t, if you can’t find any post, and I doubt that you would find people by splitting the community
That’s a good point. I was thinking the prevailing content here shows that my interests aren’t aligned with those of most members, and it would be inappropriate to post other stuff. Which was a really stupid way to think now that you point it out. Communities are splintered enough in the fediverse. No need to carve out more niches.
I see your point, though, as the OP. I don’t really have any interest in polys. If the sub is mostly interested in those, I’m not going to try and change that.

It just seems like the polydactyl keyboards make it higher up on my page than traditional keyboards, and I have little interest in them atm.
Not trying to change the habits of the sub. Mostly just curious if there was a sub that was more trad-keyboard oriented.
