I say hang in there! This is all confusing for Reddit users but events are developing rapidly. As Reddit continues to implode, the consensus going forward is that this could be something great
Hey! You should totally create those communities by yourself, takes less than 5 seconds!! (Via the website though – sadly the apps don’t yet have that functionality…but will soon)
For example, I created [email protected], since there’s no Beatles community here. Never modded any subreddit in my life, so it’s a first for me.
I’m soon gonna make a list of maybe 8-10 communities I like and create them over here. Then I’ll post links to them on the corresponding subreddits.
I don’t plan to actually mod them actively, so I’ll pass the modding powers to others if/when the communities get a good number of followers.
You could do the same, it’s like being Johnny Appleseed!
You might want to give a look at https://browse.feddit.de/ before creating it, sometimes the community already exists on another instance with a large enough number of people
I wasn’t sure how hard it would be. Doesn’t sound too bad from your words. Perhaps I’ll make one myself. Would be nice to have a place for those in Machine/Systems Integration to have a place to exchange ideas and get help.
Yep, just explore around and give it a shot. Most of the intimidation, at least for me, was psychological. Once I worked with that, it became clear that it’s fairly straightforward to set up communities and rally people towards them.
I thought about creating them but I figured someone already did and I don’t want to fracture the community. Someone already created a boardgames community in a German server (content seems to be English), is it best to jump in there and add some content or create a new English community? No clue.
I’d say just go post in English there, if you’re not supposed to, someone will probs drop you a ping.
I also sense that people here are keen on having multilingual communities, so English posts may even be welcome. Either way, it’s the wild west here, so just go for it.
I use the search “all” quite a lot. By searching the Reddit sub names I found their offspring up and running already in the Fediverse/Lemmy (HydroHomies, UKCasual, Solarpunk, etc). Searching by topic to find communities that aren’t necessarily Reddit dupes.
The “all” search takes a few seconds, so be patient. You will be richly rewarded!
Honestly struggling a bit. Finding the communities for my interests was very easy on Reddit, kinda having a hard time here.

We’ll see how the future goes, all I know is that I don’t want to support Reddit without the 3rd party apps.

Yep I looked it up first, the only Beatles community you see as of now is the one I set up!
