I’ve seen the idea of organically growing communities indirectly and directly mentioned in various threads when people discuss which communities they’d like to see on instances, and in a different way in response to community creation announcements. Despite this, and some inconsistent efforts on my own part, I’ve not seen too many others appear to be trying to put this in action.
I think any of the open-ended chat/conversation/general communities are a good place to start with this, but I’ve found it tricky to work out what to post to them. I suspect that may be somewhat similar for others, but being in the boat with’em, I’m not sure how to help.
Regardless, I think these communities make more sense for people to find those that share their interests to then start their own communities vs. starting communities before knowing if anyone else is interested.
What do you think, and what do you think would help people feel comfortable posting in these broader communities?
You must log in or # to comment.
What do you mean exactly
There is still !imadethis@lemm.ee which could be used as a generic hobbies community
By the way, I noticed you never commented back on your previous thread here, any reason to that?

Didn’t feel there was much to add. Some of the threads I’ve started here are a mixture of gauging interest and putting ideas out there for others to try.
Alright.
To come back to your initial question, !casualconversation@lemm.ee is a very generic community, has a hobbies weekly thread, so maybe that’s a start.
