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.)

A Milwaukee community would be nice
We have one.
I searched Milwaukee but nothing showed in communities, but I'm coming from another server
Try searching "[email protected]"
Nothing showed when I tried, but now I know it's out there I'll figure it out. Thanks!
Sometimes you have to try searching a few times for it to pop up. No problem!
It finally showed, I subscribed. Only one, lol. Guess there wasn't a big need yet
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.
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.
More focused linux communities for asking targeted questions or showing off rice, e.g. /c/debian, /c/linuxmint, /c/archlinux, /c/manjaro, etc
fwiw, 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
I know we have a Twin Cities community, but a general Minnesota one would be nice.
iOS and MacOSx
There's an apple community on the lemmy.ml instance if you wanted to sub to that in the mean time. [email protected]
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!
