When you create a community on Lemmy you automatically become the mod of that community. Is that stopping you from creating one? If so, which communities would you like to see here?
You must log in or register to comment.
As for any region based instance I would like to see communities where people share their underappreciated travel spots and guides: from short backpack hike to family vacations.
I like this.
Ask - whatever questions you have that don’t fit somewhere that already exists. Maybe it’s super niche or maybe it just doesn’t work anywhere else.
FriendlySupport - whatever you’ve got going on there’s probably someone who can commiserate if not offer additional perspective. Everyone needs someone sometimes.
We have a mental health support community.
I guess I need to do some more looking around
I was looking for others in the states that I have connections in, so maybe just separate ones for all the Midwest states individually? (There are a few, but not all.)
Any and all racing? Local, dirt, Nascar, dragsters, indy car, F1. I wouldn’t be opposed to being a mod but I’m not the most active or outgoing person. Not a fan of responsibility.
Edit: A general car community would be interesting as well.

The subreddit I’ll miss most if I abandon reddit will be /r/NASCAR.
I don’t think I can leave r/Nascar. I want to cut all ties but I get most of my news from there. And there are a lot of users I enjoy.
I get most of my news from Twitter (which I have pared down to mostly just Nascar), but I love the race threads.
Race threads are the best. I can’t even start Twitter. I’m giving Mastodon a try but it’s only bots repeating a few of the major reporters.
I’m the guy that asked about Mastodon on /r/nascar the other day. Hopefully Mastodon takes off so I can abandon Twitter.
Wow, small world!
Indoor Plants. I really enjoy looking at other people’s plant collections, talking about plants, plant Q&A, and trading cuttings for those open to it. But I don’t think I’m cut out to be a mod.
More focused linux communities for asking targeted questions or showing off rice, e.g.
/c/debian,/c/linuxmint,/c/archlinux,/c/manjaro, etcfwiw, as long as the user count is quite low, it’s probably better to start with more general topics, and then break it down further as usership increases. just a thought/opinion on community building
🤔 That’s a good point, and has me ruminating on my recently created community for the Kitty terminal emulator. Right now my plan was to try and make a post a day on why I think people should find kitty interesting and hoping to grow it that way. What I really want though is for it to be a place for people to ask technical questions about how to do or fix things in their own workflow. Maybe I should’ve waited to see those questions coming up in the technology communities (although in this line of thought you’d probably want to wait until there was a
/c/linuxterminalor/c/commandlinecreated first)Maybe start with a general linux sub at first?
I’ve already joined some, I’m not sure there needs to be another one atm. In fact I see that that I’ve already one for Mint that I’d forgotten about, lol, so I guess I might just need to be more observant 🔎
r/Scotch and r/WorldWhisky, honestly.

‘AnarchistTheory’ - I would be willing to give moderating it a shot, but I dont know what exactly comes with the task and whether I am up to it
Edit ‘Permaculture’ and ‘Earthships’ would be nice as well
Banning bad faith actors, breaking up flame wars, making sure posts are on topic is the gist of it.
Thanks!
If you want help I would take on being a mod for it, though I don’t want to be the sole mod
Thanks! I’m new to Lemmy and am still getting a feel for the place. I’ll pm you, once I’ve settled in and if I’m still willing to give it a try by then
Permaculture would be great
i would be interested in helping mod permaculture, but preferably not alone
A game development community would be awesome. That’s 90% of what I used reddit for.
iOS and MacOSx
There’s an apple community on the lemmy.ml instance if you wanted to sub to that in the mean time. !apple@lemmy.ml
I know we have a Twin Cities community, but a general Minnesota one would be nice.
I created one, come join us! https://midwest.social/c/minnesota
Tossing in a new comment to ask a Lemmy etiquitte/standards question about this.
Is it expected that instances like midwest.social or beehaw or whatever generally remain on-theme? For example, r/cemeterypreservation is a sub on reddit that I like a lot. But it’s a niche general interest and region non-specific thing. Would something like that be more suitable for another instance? What’s typical around here?
It’s kind just up to the admins of the instance. I’m personally fine with whatever as long as it follows the basic rules outlined in the sidebar.

Along that train of thought, how about mental or even just generalized support until the community grows.
Edit: I need to look before I type. There already is a mental health community.

Are there communities focusing on labor news on any instance? I’m primarily interested in US-based labor stuff, but an English-language international labor community would be sick.
We have a socialism community but I understand that’s not exactly the same thing. I could make one for you if you want. It’d be something I’d be interested in subscribing to as well.
I’m not super confident in my moderation ability, especially as a rank Lemmy novice, so if you or anyone else set something like that up, I’d be there!
