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.

    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.

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

      Hmm, I’ve seen that before. Did you upload a banner while creating? I have a feeling that might have an issue, try creating without banner and upload the banner later. (If that works, let me know so I can troubleshoot that)

        Aha I know what the problem was. Lowercase only. The error popup informing about this doesn’t show up on FF, so I didn’t know that’s a requirement.

        Tried, no difference. This is Icearaven (FF fork just with addons so no real difference) on Android.

        I also wanted to try in Bromite but I can’t even log in, it gets stuck. nvm my bad, wrong password. Should have an error message there instead of just spinning.

    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.

    I just created /c/hockey. /r/hockey on reddit is a big community, yet no hockey communities on Lemmy at all yet. I figured I might as well get the ball (or puck, I guess) rolling.

      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.

        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.

              Ya know, seeing both terms next to each other like that, I realized: if we were to call Lemmy communities “sublemmies”, not only would it be great in repetition, and it definitely has a nice smooth ring to it, but we’d also get to refer to things that happen in them as “sublemminal”. 🤓🤘🏼

    Just created c/biblicalstudies@lemmy.world as I didn’t see one. Working on transferring academic resources over from r/academicbiblical

    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?

    Oh man!!! The Mlem app doesn’t seem to allow me to create a community or post. I’ll have to jump on safari and see what I can come up with. I’ll also need help once I do create a community with pictures for the banner and such, cuz I’m blind soooo…. Yeah. Maybe that’s why I can’t create stuff with Mlem. Voiceover doesn’t seem to be reading everything.

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

    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).

        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 _.
