I often browse /all, come across a post that looks interesting but I have no clue what’s it about, so I check the sidebar - and all I find is “An unofficial Lemmy community for X”, " A place to discuss everything about X", or the best kind, “A continuation of r/X from Reddit”.
Can’t people write just some basics? What is that thing, a TV show, a music band, a sports team, a tabletop game? Sometimes I really can’t tell even after looking at a few posts.
Your community may be of interest to someone who stumbles upon it, not only to diehard fans.
I know sometimes that’s the joke, but most times it would be simple to just use a few words. “Discuss X, a Zimbabwean spy-thriller public theatre show.” There we go, now everyone knows what it is.
If they are happy let it be. I also see the problem with lists but maybe when listing nice communities to join you could go with the unsorted lists. Like that you have bullet point for each community that save up a lot of space.
I have also reviewed my community descriptions and made some significant changes to particl and libertariansim. If you want you can go over it one more time ;)
Haha thanks. I can see that Particl’s text is not explaining much but I like it like this. Actually the other text was copied over from reddit and was written by the devs themselves.

Libertarianism looks great! Particl I’m still not sure about, but then I guess I’m not the target audience anyway, so I’ll leave it in your hands :p
