I hate the amount of people telling me to just start my own sub when I mention that I miss Reddit’s variety. As if it was piss easy to get a whole community rolling by yourself
They’re not being flippant. They want you to grow the community. They want to see it too. We’re all here because we want to see Lemmy grow.
We’re willing to help as much as we can. I’m posting way more than I would normally. In fact I usually only lurk. But I want to get content here. So if you make a community I’ll post to it. As much as I can.
Yep as someone based in Australia I’m also missing AusFinance as the US instance wouldn’t even apply to us due to regional differences. Unfortunately Reddit will stay relevant for a long time for niche topics, but I still enjoy Lemmy for everything tech related & memes.
There is at least one instanace dedicated to Australian people, so a personalfinance community created there that’s dedicated to finance in Australia would probably work better than an “australian finance” at a generic instance such as .world.
Just that there’s stuff besides that then men certainly wouldn’t enjoy. I don’t think anyone here cares about lashes or what eyeshadow palette just released lmao
It really depends on the type of community. I created a few a missed from Reddit and honestly the screenshot/photo based communities are piss easy to start. !badrealestate for example is 3 weeks old with 48 posts and 3.6k subscribers. I just posted every day for a few weeks, now other people are posting and I contribute a couple of times a week.
On the other hand !tennis_fans and !downtherabbithole are much harder to get going because they require very regular or in depth text posts. Those two have less than 200 subscribers between them.
What I find really annoying is when people criticise posts on the communities I’ve created, when they haven’t contributed at all. People want more communities, people want more content. Don’t be a dick and then criticise the content that someone has put their time and effort into sharing with you for your enjoyment! Anyway, rant over.
If anyone’s browsing this thread and looking for more (active) communities to join, there’s also !DontYouKnowWhoIAm !clevercombacks !murderedbywords and !confidently_incorrect

I encounter that too from time to time, it can definitely be frustrating.
Keep on with the good work, !badrealestate is really nice, the horrible house designs get me really laughing sometimes

Great, I’ll be expecting your participation in /skincare, weddingplanning, engagementrings, kpopthoughts, indiemakeupandmore, …
The issue is that some of them already have instances, but only 1 sub so I’d be talking to myself all day long
The female userbase is virtually non-existent and until that changes I’m forced to stay on Reddit for relevant news and financial advice.

If we are going to do this, lets do it properly!
Yes I hope that [email protected] gets some more traction over time, there is definitely a gap in that area.

There is a bunch of communities on Aussie.zone
It’s sparse for now, but they are growing. In users, content and engagement.
There is hope for [email protected]
That’s for sure, we have a long way to go, but good to see that you enjoy it here!

They tend to be more interested in girly fluff topics like skincare, nail art, weddings, jewellery & guru gossip
Feel free to participate
