there’s no communities for my niche interests!!!
more like “i want a ready-made community where other people already putting effort into posting cool and intersting stuff, and all I want to do is sit on my ass and shower posts generously with “”“muh upvotes™””“”
communities require people. if ur the only one posting its not a community
If you are consistently posting content there is a high probability others will join
New user here. Where should I create my community? Are there servers or groups or something that I should review first? I don’t know the difference between a server and .world or .ml or whatever.
.world and .ml are servers. I’d recommend choosing a server related to your topic (programming.zone if it’s comp sci related, for example), and try to avoid piling into the largest ones (.world and .ml, etc.).
Thank you very much for the response
Is reddthat a server? Should all of the communities inside a server be related? I’m asking because I want to create communities but I don’t know where it’s appropriate to do so. For example, if I want to create a sub for venting about family, is it okay to do that on any server? Or do I have to go digging to find the “correct” server?
What are you talking about all of you here man! Spending a sec of your time on a community about a subject that you are interested is a really great task for you? That’s lame and lazy and shows lack of any vision
You should already brainstorming to make communities more innovative and better than reddit
"Everybody wanna be a bodybuilder, but don’t nobody wanna lift no heavy-ass weights."
Can recommend. Sometimes it does really well, sometimes it doesn’t. Its worth a try anytime anyways
Yes! It is worth a try!
stop lying to yourself. lemmycels only wants linux and american politics
Making a community also implies moderating it, doesn’t it? I would understand that there are people who just want to see and post things they like and not have to be aware of banning users or deleting unwanted posts.
I say that because I am part of those people, moderating content is hard.
I don’t want to say that it is easy, because it is actuall effort you have to put in, but moderating a community, especally if it is very niche and small is not that hard.
I can understand people not wanting to do some stuff, but I much more respect “I don’t want to modding so I make a community and ask someone to be with me on a mod team when stuff is going to get overwhelming, and focus on other stuff within community” than “I dont want to do modding so I’m going to just sit there and wait while other people do it for me”
I keep looking where on my local ATM machine that I can exchange internet points to ducats
doubloons would be acceptable as well
Except this link doesn’t work properly /c/books , until it does lemmy is broken, the fediverse is broken, lemmy is not really federated.
Not sure whether you’re being facetious, but you link communities with an exclamation point.
!books
If you want to be absolutely sure you point to the community on a specific instance, just include the instance
!books@lemmy.world !books@lemmy.ml
Their other comment elaborates on this more:
Until the link /c/books shows any user, with only one click, the aggregate of all “books” communities in a single place, without subscribing or even logging in. Then lemmy will stagnate because it is failing to live up to its promise of federated decentralization
They want a link like /c/books to work like multireddits did on reddit to collect together books-related communities for improved browsing and discovery.
That’s just /c/books on one server.
When say /c/books, I mean all of them, not /c/books@lemmy.ml
Until then, expect nearly all communities to dry on the vine.
And then post it in New Communities and other boards like it to advertise it!
Not for free.
lol like they’d ever actually upvote.
I would contribute to my niche community, but my foreskin was severed without my consent, so…
I mean, really, I just want other people to be moderating it even if I’m the only one posting stuff. Ain’t nobody got time for dat!
For real, there are people who will volunteer to do that, to help a community get off the ground. See !fedigrow@lemm.ee.
Create a Community. If I do that who will hold my dick when I wanna take a piss.

Lemmy is my niche community
