Please create or suggest Communities for Lemmy.world. I’m considering making Community creation for admins only, but for now it’s open to everyone.

When creating a community, it would be nice if you also upload an icon and banner. Please make sure you don't use copyrighted images but instead create your own or look for rights-free material.

Nice, thanks! (I use their wallpaper app on my Mac)

You can create communities yourself if you like!

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.

[–] MetalAirship 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Joined! Would love to see this take off, this was my favorite sub on Reddit

[–] WhoRoger 1 points 2 years ago

Post some of your favorites. I wanted to bring people from Reddit but they banned me Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

I’d like to see a homebrewing community about brewing beer

[–] ericjmorey 3 points 2 years ago

Go ahead and create one!

[–] iblis_sensual 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

When I try to subscribe to communitues of other servers, it shows "Pending". What does that mean?

[–] ruud 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] PriorProject 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe 3 points 2 years ago

Maybe I'll make a more specific/niche minecraft one then.

[–] Mac 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] DudePluto 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe 5 points 2 years ago (4 children)

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.

[–] DudePluto 2 points 2 years ago

Good point. Not sure what I was thinking with my initial comment

I'd lean towards yes.

[–] itchy_lizard 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

[–] ruud 3 points 2 years ago

OK, I'd say: create it! :-)

[–] Ohbs 2 points 2 years ago

I would be very interested!

[–] Garacks 2 points 2 years ago

Anyone know if we can create communities with Memmy ? I’m new one and trying to learn !

[–] WhoRoger 2 points 2 years ago

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?

[–] DudePluto 2 points 2 years ago

Just created c/[email protected] as I didn't see one. Working on transferring academic resources over from r/academicbiblical

[–] TwilightGirl1992 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Would anyone be interested in a community for the inheritance cycle by Christopher paolini?

[–] slimerancher 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why not a general Fantasy community, for more engagement?

[–] TwilightGirl1992 2 points 2 years ago

Ooh that’s a good idea. Thanks.

[–] joherl 1 points 2 years ago

A general woodworking community would be nice.

[–] BackOnMyBS 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

made one for autism: https://lemmy.world/c/autism

everyone is welcome, autistic or not!

[–] veroxii 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What's your vision for this instance? Any specific leanings? Any communities you don't want?

[–] ruud 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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).

[–] veroxii 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Awesome. Sounds like "common sense prevails and don't be a jerk". πŸ™ƒ

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).

[–] ruud 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What name did you try to create? Did you also add images?

[–] Titonemo 2 points 2 years ago

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 _.
