What kind of community?
Are there any wannabe mods or know how to be mods willing to do a community with me?

One to help people who are thinking about commiting suicide.

You’re gunna do whatever you are gunna do. But let me just say this.
Your heart is in the right place, but this is a bad idea. You’d essentially be taking responsibility for mentally unwell people who are in a devastating position.
You’d open the door for emotionally starved people to latch onto you, and possibly threaten you for not answering them when they snap their fingers. Or feel suicidal at whatever time of day that is and in whatever time zone that is.

I’m wishing you the best just proceed with caution I just… oh man…

I don’t think I have the time or experience to effectively mod something like that. Good luck though it sounds like a noble cause!

People who do this professionally, or even as a volunteer, receive training for a reason. It is likely one could hurt more than help, despite the best intentions.
Maybe try signing up for a hotline? They’ll give you the training required to at least give a solid attempt as well as more rationally limit the amount of people you feel obligated to handle.

That would be a full time job

Wait…this is a bit vague. Help them get through their feelings? Or help them commit suicide? This could be taken either way.

You might get more interest if you specify what the community is for.
