Please create or suggest Communities for Lemmy.world. I’m considering making Community creation for admins only, but for now it’s open to everyone.
When creating a community, it would be nice if you also upload an icon and banner. Please make sure you don’t use copyrighted images but instead create your own or look for rights-free material.
Here’s a good resource to find images: https://unsplash.com/
Nice, thanks! (I use their wallpaper app on my Mac)
Anyone know if we can create communities with Memmy ? I’m new one and trying to learn !
Suggestion for a Shattered Pixel Dungeon community
You can create communities yourself if you like!
I’d like to see a homebrewing community about brewing beer
Go ahead and create one!
I’ve been trying to make one for Rare Genetic Disease Support for a few days but it doesn’t seem to work. I’ve followed all the troubleshooting tips I’ve found and I’m pretty sure I’m doing it right but it just spins endlessly. I’ve tried searching for it and it doesn’t seem like it worked yet.
Is it worth making duplicate communities? I was thinking of making a minecraft community here in lemmy.world, but there already is one on lemmy.ml.
Edit: !oldschoolminecraft has been created
For what it’s worth, as someone participating in communities I’m likely to gravitate toward the most established one irrespective of what instance it’s on. If there’s a problem with an established community (bad moderation policies, bad moderators, lots of posts I don’t like, or whatever) then I’ll look for alternatives.
But generally, I’m more interested in more communities covering new and niche topics than I am in local copies of communities that are healthy on another instance.
Maybe I’ll make a more specific/niche minecraft one then.
This is why, to me, it makes sense for instances to be topic-focused.
Imagine a Mine.Craft instance with communities of various aspects of the game.
I see what you mean but that would require you to make an account for each topic you want to discuss. If they make it so you can have one account for every instance that might be great, though
You just need an account on one instance, and you can follow “subreddits” (communitites) on other instances.
Granted, it seems that for now there is still some issues accessing other communities.
Ya know, seeing both terms next to each other like that, I realized: if we were to call Lemmy communities “sublemmies”, not only would it be great in repetition, and it definitely has a nice smooth ring to it, but we’d also get to refer to things that happen in them as “sublemminal”. 🤓🤘🏼
Honestly, I am pretty ok with moving away from reddit based words.
Fair, but… “Sublemminal”, though. 🤌🏼
I’d lean towards yes.
Would anyone be interested in a community for the inheritance cycle by Christopher paolini?
Why not a general Fantasy community, for more engagement?
Ooh that’s a good idea. Thanks.
I’d like to make formuladank (F1 memes), 3DS/DS and PlayStation (general PS, there’s a specific PS5 one). Might bring in people from Reddit.
I tried to make a community but the final create button was unresponsive.
formula dank exists!
Yes cause I did it, haha. This is from almost a month ago
When I try to subscribe to communitues of other servers, it shows “Pending”. What does that mean?
Good question. I will ask that to the Lemmy devs.
Just created c/[email protected] as I didn’t see one. Working on transferring academic resources over from r/academicbiblical
we lack a /c/mealtimevideos in lemmy (at least I couldn’t find one on any). That is, links to thought-provoking videos that are ~5-15 minutes long. Bite-sized videos just long enough to watch while you eat your lunch.
I would be very interested!
Hi Ruud, I’m new to your instance and I tried to create a community. However after I filled up all the info and clicked “create”, the button just keeps rotating. I tried many times and it was all the same.
Is there any problem which prevents me from creating community? I noticed when I tried to create account from some other instances, if my account wasn’t approved, I couldn’t log in. The button kept rotating without any notice (similar to my problem here).
What name did you try to create? Did you also add images?
Hi Ruud, I did add the profile photo, also the name is in right format, as “self_healers_protocol” if I remembered correctly. I tried to create in other instance. It worked and it seemed that I shouldn’t have had the underscore _.
I just created /c/hockey. /r/hockey on reddit is a big community, yet no hockey communities on Lemmy at all yet. I figured I might as well get the ball (or puck, I guess) rolling.
Ah, yes. Hockey is something we Dutch are good at. Not me though. I prefer playing pool.
