let's cut the "Reddit" circle jerk and start actually making content (self.lemmyworld)

Not that it is not interesting but I would like just a tad more variety on the front page.

Edit btw for those who are wondering the two communities I started are https://lemmy.world/c/newmusic and https://kbin.social/m/musicfeedback/microblog (not sure if I have the links correct for people)

I'm definitely in support of "mega-threading" anything related to the Reddit blackout unless it's big breaking news (but mega-thread those events too).

I've also started to look for communities for some of my interests, but I suspect it's going to take a while before a lot of them spread to here. There are also a bunch that I can't really start since I am primarily a consumer and not a producer (specialized topics like astrophysics that I am not a subject matter expert for).

I've been toying with the idea of starting a physics (astrophysics welcome) community over at https://normalcity.life/(my home lemmy instance) for physics academics. I'd love a community like that because it's my everyday life. Does that sound interesting? Not sure if others would be interested.

Edit: home instance clarification

Sure, I love physics

You should create it anyways! Unless there's a community that already exists on an instance you are okay with accessing, I say make the community and people will decide for themselves if they'd like to join.

try [email protected]; [email protected] [email protected] (disclaimer -- I mod that one, but will happily accept Astrophysics content -- I did planetary science in grad school, and the American Geophysical Union has a lot of overlap, so might as well eh)
