Best Lemmy Server to make a Religion-based Community? (self.asklemmy)

I have been attempting to help Reddit Subreddits migrate over to Lemmy, and so far, it has been pretty good.

But one of the of the Subreddits is Religion Based and when I went to JoinLemmy, and clicked on "Join a Server", there is no Religion option.

There is a Religion tab, and you can choose what language, but, after that, it just shows that there are no Religion based Servers, regardless of the language that is chosen.

EDIT: OpenChristian is now up.

For OpenChristian mainly.

Although, if it goes well, I might consider potentially attempting to expand it by bringing other subs like:

or others

I have already done Queer_Muslims

I wouldn't mind the extra help.

Which religion are you/looking for?

EDIT: OpenChristian is now up.

For an OpenChristian community, you are welcome to take over [email protected]. The existing mod is long gone. Let me know if you want it.

Sure, I'll take it.

Thanks for sharing! :)

I’m running two small communities at

[email protected] (my own instance)

If you would like to start running religion focused communities we can create a religion network. Maybe call it “Lemmy Religions Network” or something. You may prefer larger instances but I would be happy to run something on my instance as well.

I wonder if there could potentially be an instance called "Lemmy Religions Network", that is basically just an Instance for religious communities to be under?

That way, users who are specifically interested and looking for religious communities know what to look for.

Either that or just include a linkable list in the sidebar of each com.

[–] Teknevra 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Or perhaps a Federated Website, and then just link the website when you want to make the linkable list?

I'm not sure I know what this means :O

Radical idea but what if we didn't spread propaganda on lemmy
