  You gotta Field of Dreams it. I’m doing it for LV426/the Aliens universe. Just treat it like you’re starting a forum or a newsletter and, hopefully in time, others will contribute and it’ll grow organically.

    I’m trying to figure that out but I I have to make my own server? Or is it a sub on lemmy.world? There definitely a learning curve

      You don’t have to make your own server (unless you really want to!). Just start a community on a server you like.

      The one catch is that others can start a community of the same name and/or interest on another server and that gets a little confusing because then there are two, of course.

      I wish that communities could “federate” with each other from different instances but then that raises a bunch of logistics issues about how this is moderated, how is this presented to the users, etc.

      In my case I’m just posting a lot to already-created communities found in the Lemmy directory that’ve got a chunk of subscribers.

      If you’re going to start your own community for your own interest, I’d advise at least setting up on an already-populated Lemmy server (which you would have to be registered on) so it gets listed in the local directory.

      If you’re going to host the Lemmy server and your community, I have no experience on that front/I would imagine there’s a lot of SEO and self-promotion you’d have to do to get it off the ground.

  Yeah I’ve been on Lemmy maybe 2 years or so now? I find myself going back for the subreddits of my interest. But I will try to start posting here more.

  Ultimately I believe in the fediverse despite all of its growing pains.

  It’ll take awhile to grow those niche communities.

  I have no doubt we will!

  While we still doesn't have all kinds of active niche communities over here, it is incredible how much the community has grown since I first came here. And that's not really all that long ago.

  Thanks for joining us! :)

  These days I go 50/50 on Reddit and Lemmy. I know it’s a chicken and egg problem for content, but hopefully 50% usage is enough to change things over time.

  • morrowind@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Same. Is your name related to the youtube channel?

    • JuxtaposedJaguar@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      Nope

• jackalope@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  I mod lemmy.ml/c/anti-trust and we need more people contributing!

  source
• MisterFrog@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  I ported !engineeringmemes@lemmy.world. Because of its limited volume, it’s barely an effort to moderate.

  Just start the communities you want to see :)

  Be the change you want to see! Start up your own niche community!
