Anyone up for helping me create a depression community here? (self.asklemmy)

Lemmy's all fine and dandy but without communities like r/depression it's back to keeping everything in and hiding to cry for me because I can't talk about how I feel irl and can't afford therapy. There are probably billions of people in my case. I'd like to make a depression, or rather a more general "vent without being told you should go all the way and rope because there's no place for sadness and self-doubt in late capitalism" community on Lemmy but have zero experience making and moderating a community. Is there a fellow desperate case who'd be up for helping me create and manage it?

There seems to be [email protected] (no posts yet) and [email protected] (which seems to very meme-oriented?)

Thank you! I was sure there were already some and I just didn't find them.

This, just start posting there. I’m in some that have zero posts and they get upvotes.

People are there, just post

Make one! Might even help you more than you think to make and run that community.
