So I'm thinking some health related coms could be useful. I was thinking migraine because that's what I'm familiar with, but I can't see anything health related on any instance. So maybe something broad for starters, like just health?

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)

Just created c/biblicalstudies@lemmy.world as I didn't see one. Working on transferring academic resources over from r/academicbiblical

Suggestion for a Shattered Pixel Dungeon community

You can create communities yourself if you like!

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

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why not a general Fantasy community, for more engagement?

[–] TwilightGirl1992@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Ooh that’s a good idea. Thanks.

A general woodworking community would be nice.

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

[–] ericjmorey@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Go ahead and create one!

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

[–] ruud@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years 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.

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Maybe I'll make a more specific/niche minecraft one then.

[–] Mac@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (5 children)

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'd lean towards yes.

[–] itchy_lizard@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Ohbs@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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).

Oh man!!! The Mlem app doesn’t seem to allow me to create a community or post. I’ll have to jump on safari and see what I can come up with. I’ll also need help once I do create a community with pictures for the banner and such, cuz I’m blind soooo…. Yeah. Maybe that’s why I can’t create stuff with Mlem. Voiceover doesn’t seem to be reading everything.

[–] ruud@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah no problem, I can help with the images. I don't know the app.. just using the browser..

[–] TwilightGirl1992@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks. I appreciate that. I’ll let you know when it’s created. :)

[–] TwilightGirl1992@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ok so update. Creating communities with the official site is kinda broken, at least with a screen reader. I get to the “create” button and it prompts me to match…. Something, but voiceover stops before it can finish. Dang it!!!!

[–] ruud@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh hmm, that's bad. OK so what if I create the community for you, and make you moderator? And we can see how it works from there?

[–] TwilightGirl1992@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ok. Sounds like a plan. 😁

[–] ruud@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (3 children)

What name would you like for the community?
