Please create or suggest Communities for Lemmy.world. I’m considering making Community creation for admins only, but for now it’s open to everyone.

I'd like to make formuladank (F1 memes), 3DS/DS and PlayStation (general PS, there's a specific PS5 one). Might bring in people from Reddit.

I tried to make a community but the final create button was unresponsive.

Joined! Would love to see this take off, this was my favorite sub on Reddit

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Post some of your favorites. I wanted to bring people from Reddit but they banned me Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

Yes cause I did it, haha. This is from almost a month ago

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Anyone know if we can create communities with Memmy ? I’m new one and trying to learn !

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

You can create communities yourself if you like!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

When creating a community, it would be nice if you also upload an icon and banner. Please make sure you don't use copyrighted images but instead create your own or look for rights-free material.

Nice, thanks! (I use their wallpaper app on my Mac)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Just created c/[email protected] as I didn't see one. Working on transferring academic resources over from r/academicbiblical

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Is it worth making duplicate communities? I was thinking of making a minecraft community here in lemmy.world, but there already is one on lemmy.ml.

Edit: !oldschoolminecraft has been created

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

For what it's worth, as someone participating in communities I'm likely to gravitate toward the most established one irrespective of what instance it's on. If there's a problem with an established community (bad moderation policies, bad moderators, lots of posts I don't like, or whatever) then I'll look for alternatives.

But generally, I'm more interested in more communities covering new and niche topics than I am in local copies of communities that are healthy on another instance.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is why, to me, it makes sense for instances to be topic-focused.

Imagine a Mine.Craft instance with communities of various aspects of the game.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I see what you mean but that would require you to make an account for each topic you want to discuss. If they make it so you can have one account for every instance that might be great, though

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You just need an account on one instance, and you can follow "subreddits" (communitites) on other instances.

Granted, it seems that for now there is still some issues accessing other communities.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ya know, seeing both terms next to each other like that, I realized: if we were to call Lemmy communities "sublemmies", not only would it be great in repetition, and it definitely has a nice smooth ring to it, but we'd also get to refer to things that happen in them as "sublemminal". πŸ€“πŸ€˜πŸΌ

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Honestly, I am pretty ok with moving away from reddit based words.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Fair, but... "Sublemminal", though. 🀌🏼

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Maybe I'll make a more specific/niche minecraft one then.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I'd lean towards yes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

we lack a /c/mealtimevideos in lemmy (at least I couldn't find one on any). That is, links to thought-provoking videos that are ~5-15 minutes long. Bite-sized videos just long enough to watch while you eat your lunch.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I would be very interested!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

OK, I'd say: create it! :-)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

A general woodworking community would be nice.

made one for autism: https://lemmy.world/c/autism

everyone is welcome, autistic or not!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

So I'm thinking some health related coms could be useful. I was thinking migraine because that's what I'm familiar with, but I can't see anything health related on any instance. So maybe something broad for starters, like just health?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Would anyone be interested in a community for the inheritance cycle by Christopher paolini?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why not a general Fantasy community, for more engagement?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Ooh that’s a good idea. Thanks.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’d like to see a homebrewing community about brewing beer

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Go ahead and create one!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

When I try to subscribe to communitues of other servers, it shows "Pending". What does that mean?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Good question. I will ask that to the Lemmy devs.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just created /c/hockey. /r/hockey on reddit is a big community, yet no hockey communities on Lemmy at all yet. I figured I might as well get the ball (or puck, I guess) rolling.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Ah, yes. Hockey is something we Dutch are good at. Not me though. I prefer playing pool.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Oh man!!! The Mlem app doesn’t seem to allow me to create a community or post. I’ll have to jump on safari and see what I can come up with. I’ll also need help once I do create a community with pictures for the banner and such, cuz I’m blind soooo…. Yeah. Maybe that’s why I can’t create stuff with Mlem. Voiceover doesn’t seem to be reading everything.

What's your vision for this instance? Any specific leanings? Any communities you don't want?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't want anything that's against the rules. For now, the rules are on https://mastodon.world/about I will copy those here (maybe add or re-write some to make them Lemmy-specific).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Awesome. Sounds like "common sense prevails and don't be a jerk". πŸ™ƒ

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

Just created c/acnh , saw a general one on lemmy.ml, but not one specifically for Animal Crossing New Horizons. One for Animal Crossing New Leaf would be good too, but I'm not creating it as I don't really play that one as often, but still putting that thought out there. Some version of the namenerds community on Lemmy, Data Hoarder (which might have an official one, so I'm waiting to see on that one), mental health communities, and specific ones for the different Pokemon games is what I use Reddit for already, so that's all my suggestions.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hi Ruud, I'm new to your instance and I tried to create a community. However after I filled up all the info and clicked "create", the button just keeps rotating. I tried many times and it was all the same.

Is there any problem which prevents me from creating community? I noticed when I tried to create account from some other instances, if my account wasn't approved, I couldn't log in. The button kept rotating without any notice (similar to my problem here).

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What name did you try to create? Did you also add images?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Hi Ruud, I did add the profile photo, also the name is in right format, as "self_healers_protocol" if I remembered correctly. I tried to create in other instance. It worked and it seemed that I shouldn't have had the underscore _.
