Is it better to find a niche or to create a community of sorts and how do both work exactly, so i created my account not to long ago and most places feel dead in a way but if i created my own place its not like i would get many people and i have some ideas but there kinda dumb or “Spicey” to say or somehting like that. im not even sure if i have the motivation to create and manage a community.

      something like this is not a bad way to try and deal with depression esp if you feel you are in a phase where you want to socialize with people more

      would suggest starting a community on an existing instance rather than starting your own so you dont have to deal with the stress of a server op role too.

      I’ve been in the same boat, wondering if it will just be more stress.

        yeah ive been thinking of starting an nsfw gaming community or something, but idk if that a good idea or not and it might be hard to do and im still thinking it over.

          That might be a difficult one to start, as a lot of Lemmy servers don’t allow NSFW content. Best of luck. :)

          I’d say don’t be afraid to give it a shot, but be realistic with your view of its effect on you. If it helps, great! If not, don’t be afraid of abandoning it or handing it off. Gotta do what’s best for you in the end.
