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.

      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”. 🤓🤘🏼

    I’ve been trying to make one for Rare Genetic Disease Support for a few days but it doesn’t seem to work. I’ve followed all the troubleshooting tips I’ve found and I’m pretty sure I’m doing it right but it just spins endlessly. I’ve tried searching for it and it doesn’t seem like it worked yet.

    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.

    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 _.

    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.

    Just created c/acnh , saw a general one on lemmy.ml, but not one specifically for Animal Crossing New Horizons. One for Animal Crossing New Leaf would be good too, but I’m not creating it as I don’t really play that one as often, but still putting that thought out there. Some version of the namenerds community on Lemmy, Data Hoarder (which might have an official one, so I’m waiting to see on that one), mental health communities, and specific ones for the different Pokemon games is what I use Reddit for already, so that’s all my suggestions.
