So im pretty new here, I come from reddit because i got fed up with reddit but i do miss some community’s. Ive thought about “cloning” them on lemmy but in my own way im just not sure if i have the time or patience to focuse on one.
What would you advise? Do i go for it? People who have community’s what’s it like?
If you do you should be actively running them. One thing that annoys me with the fediverse is I feel a bunch of communities get created and abandoned. Its like folks are doing the if you build it, they will come and no. No. They will not come. It just pollutes the topic. Similarly if communities around the subject already exists see if that does well enough for you or see if you can become a mod and help it grow. For the same reasons. To much of the same thing. Don’t get me wrong I like there being a few different communities just for redundancy purposes being instances can blow up or become abandoned. Honestly people real serious about thier community should really think about having a backup ready for it on another instance. Anyway I block things I don’t care for like sports or memes. OMG. sometimes it feels like people make new meme community just so they can have a personal community to post their memes. At times they pop up like crazy and there are a ton already and I get there are different meme subject type things but you will see the exact same subjects. Ok. yeah soapboxing a bit there. Anyway do it if your serious about something and will put the time in.
