Following the other post, which lemmy.ml communities don't have alternatives on other instances? (reddthat.com)

Following the other thread (550 upvotes and 366 comments at the moment: https://lemmy.world/post/16211417), one of the complaints that people had what that some communities only exist on lemmy.ml and don't have alternatives on other instances.

Let's discuss this and see if we can organize together.

I suggest to have one topic per comment so that is is easier to discuss.

where we should host the autonomous and self driving technology community and the whole time it was bloody obvious. @[email protected] can we host it on your instance?

I asked the futurology admins about adding additional communities that fit the futurology theme, but they seem uninterested. I'm not sure why, as having what is essentially a single-community instance seems a bit strange to me, but it's ultimately their call.

@[email protected] and @[email protected], would you reconsider increasing the number of communities on your instance, provided they fit the futurology theme?

We are not against it, but it needs careful consideration due to limited server resources as well as limited user attention (we are a very small instance compared to others)

We're not sure how much additional traction we would drive to your server, but we don't expect too much. It would mostly just be me and @[email protected] posting news stories and videos (hosted on YouTube) about self-driving technology with the occasional news story and video about robot chefs. So very much in line with Futurology.

I'll have a chat with the other mods and come back to you

Thank you so much

We’ve decided to go ahead with this, fire over a DM and we’ll get the community set up

Good news!

@[email protected] good luck with this!
