there's no communities for my niche interests!!!
more like "i want a ready-made community where other people already putting effort into posting cool and intersting stuff, and all I want to do is sit on my ass and shower posts generously with """muh upvotes™""""
Going against the post's spirit, but...If you're not finding a community for your interests (or only finding abandoned/inactive ones), and don't want to create one (or try to get existing ones going), you're welcome over in [email protected]. Post about whatever, find likeminded folks, then if ya think there's enough of ya, you can make a separate community without it being one person posting into a void.
Also there's [email protected]. Similar vibes.
Who gonna operate the sinkpissers community
Yep, be the change you want to see in the world.
Also, making communities is fun! I made [email protected] and it is booming thanks to several lemmings who I got to post consistently. Shout out to thepiccardmanuever.
During the initial mass migration from Reddit I got the impression a lot of people were starting communities on Lemmy that had been successful on Reddit but put no effort into them. I'll bet there is a statistic yet to be figured out that says you need a million platform members before you can have enough members to sustain a niche community like c/gothcountry.
Then post into the void until some other like-minded degenerate finds you. You need to create the meeting point!
Sure man, lemme just real quick create a whole ass community, spend countless hours striving to attract people and moderate it when these guys try to post some horrifying shit... all that to find the location of the one missing collectible from the game that I'm currently trying to complete.
Lemmy is my niche community
You just reminded me to post in this new community I joined recently, so thank you.
communities require people. if ur the only one posting its not a community
Lurkers complain where creators entertain
Oh but some do create very helpful content like "repost!" comments to help people seeing old content from getting embarrassed by not realizing all discussion about that content has been done already.
Some try to improve stories by adding claims of applause or a famous person offering a sum of money, probably because it's silly to imagine such embellishments and they like joining in on the fun.
Yes putting in the same amount of effort as the reposter.
How do I create a community on Sync? Can't find a button for that.
I will not whine about the lack of this niche community, because both c/Indiana and c/[email protected] exist, but boy do I wish they were even close to as active as r/Indiana was when I was on Reddit.
There is just not a good place to discuss state politics that I can find and I learned a lot through discussion.
I see this response all the time "create your own if you want to see niche communities and Reddit communities migrate here." Well, if I have the bloody time to moderate, or even if I do, will there be many people? And if there are many people, do I have the time to moderate? What if there are mod bickering and drama?
The question is time. Does anyone else have the time to moderate and put up with BS inevitable with most communities?
I've been asking for a personal finance community for a while. The only US-based one I've found is on .ml, which...ew. I haven't made one because I do not have the time to mod a big, popular sub like that one will hopefully become.
Buuuuut I got tired of waiting for someone else to do it so I made it: https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
I'm sure it will be a shitshow but at least I tried.
New user here. Where should I create my community? Are there servers or groups or something that I should review first? I don't know the difference between a server and .world or .ml or whatever.
.world and .ml are servers. I’d recommend choosing a server related to your topic (programming.zone if it’s comp sci related, for example), and try to avoid piling into the largest ones (.world and .ml, etc.).
I don't think there are any" rant" communities?
Lemmy needs that kind of large general topic community to redirect users to smaller niches communities.
I too also wouldn't want to mod it, but I think it'd be great for herding up angry lemmy users sharing the same frustrations, so they could be redirected or start new communities for the particular topic.
The reason is that everyone enjoy reading and writing rants about something, so the rant community will automatically grow many subscribers coming in from all kinds of searches.
For example, a user ranting about "womens pants without pockets" would get much more engagement than someone just creating and posting about a community for womens pants. The rant comment section would also already often include the potential users for a new community.
The general discussion doesn't really cut it, because it's too nice and polite and weird angry rants don't really fit in there.
The thing is that (also in real life) when someone needs something bad enough, they'll get angry, and that anger can be channeled into something useful, because they're willing to collaborate with others who can help them or who at least supports them.
This did remind me to create a community for the one subreddit I used the most before I left reddit, r/jakeandamir. Thank you, I did that today!
