Nice, thanks! (I use their wallpaper app on my Mac)
I'd like to make formuladank (F1 memes), 3DS/DS and PlayStation (general PS, there's a specific PS5 one). Might bring in people from Reddit.
I tried to make a community but the final create button was unresponsive.
Joined! Would love to see this take off, this was my favorite sub on Reddit
Post some of your favorites. I wanted to bring people from Reddit but they banned me Β―_(γ)_/Β―
formula dank exists!
Yes cause I did it, haha. This is from almost a month ago

Iβd like to see a homebrewing community about brewing beer
Go ahead and create one!
When I try to subscribe to communitues of other servers, it shows "Pending". What does that mean?
Good question. I will ask that to the Lemmy devs.
Is it worth making duplicate communities? I was thinking of making a minecraft community here in lemmy.world, but there already is one on lemmy.ml.
Edit: !oldschoolminecraft has been created
For what it's worth, as someone participating in communities I'm likely to gravitate toward the most established one irrespective of what instance it's on. If there's a problem with an established community (bad moderation policies, bad moderators, lots of posts I don't like, or whatever) then I'll look for alternatives.
But generally, I'm more interested in more communities covering new and niche topics than I am in local copies of communities that are healthy on another instance.
Maybe I'll make a more specific/niche minecraft one then.
This is why, to me, it makes sense for instances to be topic-focused.
Imagine a Mine.Craft instance with communities of various aspects of the game.
I see what you mean but that would require you to make an account for each topic you want to discuss. If they make it so you can have one account for every instance that might be great, though
You just need an account on one instance, and you can follow "subreddits" (communitites) on other instances.
Granted, it seems that for now there is still some issues accessing other communities.
Good point. Not sure what I was thinking with my initial comment

I'd lean towards yes.
we lack a /c/mealtimevideos in lemmy (at least I couldn't find one on any). That is, links to thought-provoking videos that are ~5-15 minutes long. Bite-sized videos just long enough to watch while you eat your lunch.
OK, I'd say: create it! :-)
I would be very interested!
Anyone know if we can create communities with Memmy ? Iβm new one and trying to learn !
So I'm thinking some health related coms could be useful. I was thinking migraine because that's what I'm familiar with, but I can't see anything health related on any instance. So maybe something broad for starters, like just health?
Just created c/[email protected] as I didn't see one. Working on transferring academic resources over from r/academicbiblical
Would anyone be interested in a community for the inheritance cycle by Christopher paolini?
Why not a general Fantasy community, for more engagement?
Ooh thatβs a good idea. Thanks.
A general woodworking community would be nice.
What's your vision for this instance? Any specific leanings? Any communities you don't want?
I don't want anything that's against the rules. For now, the rules are on https://mastodon.world/about I will copy those here (maybe add or re-write some to make them Lemmy-specific).
Awesome. Sounds like "common sense prevails and don't be a jerk". π
Yep!
Hi Ruud, I'm new to your instance and I tried to create a community. However after I filled up all the info and clicked "create", the button just keeps rotating. I tried many times and it was all the same.
Is there any problem which prevents me from creating community? I noticed when I tried to create account from some other instances, if my account wasn't approved, I couldn't log in. The button kept rotating without any notice (similar to my problem here).
What name did you try to create? Did you also add images?
Hi Ruud, I did add the profile photo, also the name is in right format, as "self_healers_protocol" if I remembered correctly. I tried to create in other instance. It worked and it seemed that I shouldn't have had the underscore _.
