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.

Just created c/[email protected] as I didn't see one. Working on transferring academic resources over from r/academicbiblical

When I try to subscribe to communitues of other servers, it shows "Pending". What does that mean?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Good question. I will ask that to the Lemmy devs.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'd lean towards yes.

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.

Nice, thanks! (I use their wallpaper app on my Mac)

Would anyone be interested in a community for the inheritance cycle by Christopher paolini?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Why not a general Fantasy community, for more engagement?

You can create communities yourself if you like!

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I would be very interested!

I’d like to see a homebrewing community about brewing beer

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Go ahead and create one!
