For now, I decided to make it myself. If anything to start gathering the useful resources I learned back on reddit. If anyone later on wants to take over ill happily give them the entire thing cause I dont wanna mod.

Sorta, Got a bunch of the more niche communities I was in made, with only two exceptions. I believe in being the change I want made, but I"m hardly experienced as a moderator so it's a new adjustment. They're also existing communities so some mods usually have issues with that, though I'm always open to give mod status when relevant.

I'm a huge sci-fi fan and love the idea of a sci-fi server with communities for books, tv shows, etc to rehouse places like r/scifi, r/TheExpanse and r/SiloSeries. But as dev as I am I don't fancy running a server and being a super mod.

You are just describing all of us lurkers and occasional commenters

Maybe c/findacommunity@lemmy.ml would be a good stop.

Yeah there's quite a few niche communities I'd like to have here that aren't around yet, but even if I created them, I don't think we're at a userbase large enough to populate them. They were kinda slow even on Reddit.

Yeah, the local ones like New Jersey or AITAH, but more importantly AskHistorians, AskScience, badHistory, etc

I agree. You can always just go for it though, and atleast grab a place holder. Then advertise and hand of the topic to a better qualified team. That's what I did for a lot official gaming discords I set up, but didn't really want to continue moderating.

The world is lacking a space simulation sub in Lemmy.

Yes! I want someone other than me to start a ZeroCovid group here.

But really though, are you asking if anyone has any communities they want to make so you can moderate them? I’m so confused
