It is unfortunate that duplication is fragmenting the Lemmy membership. There was already a community for this at https://lemmy.ml/c/digitalnomad that has been around a few weeks.

About us
An open, user owned community dedicated to the philosophy of minimalism and the minimalist way of life. All types of posts are allowed, as long as they are relevant to the topic of minimalism.
Rules
1. Be honest with yourself and others.
The goal is to develop yourself personally and as a community. Seriously, if you’re not honest with yourself and pretend to be someone else, you’re not going anywhere. The first step to progression is acceptance, isn’t it?
2. Be polite to others and respects each others opinions.
Your freedom ends where somebody else's begins. Remember that there are people that may see things differently than you.
3. Keep it theme-oriented, up to date and relevant.
In general, all types of contributions are allowed, but the relevance to this community must always be evident and presented openly by the contributor. Posts that do not meet these requirements will be removed after a public warning.
4. Use self-moderation measures first before reporting.
This community is fundamentally built upon freedom of speech. Since everyone understands minimalism differently and we do not want to exclude any kind of content a priori, we appeal to the individual users to block/mute posts or users who do not meet their requirements. Please bear this in mind when filing a report
Other great communities:
Unfortunately that's on lemmy.ml, which as the mod has already acknowledged, really limits how far they can go. I agree that it kind of sucks, and a huge migration like this is never going to go perfectly, but I'd much rather get it right and have a viable community than not create one at all. I'm happy to make them a mod though so that they can administer both, I'm not trying to "compete" with them or anything like that, in fact I'd much rather not have to put the work in all by myself.
There are a number of bag and travel communities:
If the people want I can add the onebag community link to our description.
I see that you are trying to build up a new interesting community. However please try to show the relevance to this community better next time. For example, it would be helpful to write what the community looks like and what you intend to do with it, or to briefly mention how you want to introduce the topic of minimalism there. Otherwise you might get reported for spam.
