Why not participate in the existing one instead of creating a new one? Even if it isn’t active, it’s got 268 subscribers already. Adding duplicate communities is just going to cause confusion and split the users.
You could ask to be added as a mod there, or if the current mod isn’t active anymore, post in [email protected] and ask an admin to make you a mod.
edit - someone else mentioned [email protected] which is more active.
Yea look … diversity and decentralisation … these are good things (and things we can get better at)
But when you’re duplicating topics the onus has to be on you to make it clear why you’re doing and what the differentiation is. Otherwise we can’t trust that you’re not just making a community so you can control it and don’t want to “play with others” that already have an established community.
If mods have gone MIA … you can get the instance admin to help you take it over … there are other options, and you really should just try to clarify things.
Beyond that … if you’re committed … getting multiple mods ASAP (besides yourself) is probably essential.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
Rules
The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World’s rules. You can click the link but we’ve reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn’t a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.
1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.
A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn’t rulebreaking and we can’t be supportive to them then we probably shouldn’t engage.
B. No illegal content.
C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.
D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.
E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.
2. Include a community or instance title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities or instances all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.
Formatting
Please include this following format in your post:
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn’t get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn’t actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
What about [email protected] which already has 13k subscribers? I answered a question there a couple days ago
There’s also an open call for moderators it seems?
Two of three current moderators are AWOL. One mod is active though.
@[email protected], would you be open to adding @[email protected] to the mod team of [email protected]? They are new to Lemmy, but quite enthusiastic.
Sure, why not, though I won’t have time to do that until around 9 PM UTC.
Friendly reminder :)
Edit: Whoops, sorry, I see you already responded, and are waiting for a PM.
Something wrong with [email protected]?
don dickie is not the boss there, i guess 😆
Doesn’t seem to be very active. And since I am on here 9 to 10 while I am at work there needs to be better.

Ah so the best to create an active community is to split it even more.
Why is Gamora?
I’ll do you one better, When is Gamora??
[email protected] better link format
Thank you.

@[email protected], feel free to post to [email protected] to ask to become mod of that community
Why in the world would you split the communities even more…
Decentralization. It’s a good thing
No. Decentralization is not inherently a good thing. The OPTION of decentralization is a good thing.
The power of Lemmy isn’t the fact thzt it’s so fractured. That in itself isn’t a selling point.
The selling point is that IF a community is problematic, you have the OPTION of fragmenting away from the toxic behavior.
But until a community proves itself to need an alternative, fragmenting only serves to HURT the fediverse. Not help.
One community with 50 users is 10x more powerful than 5 replica communities with 10 users each.
Thanks
Yeah, but the ELI5 communities mentioned here are all on lemmy.world - that’s not decentralized.
