these came a little earlier than anticipated—i was expecting them tomorrow—but based on the feedback in the thread we decided to quickly round these specific bases
- City Life, for all things urban; urban planning; municipal; public transit; FuckCars; stuff like that. also a good place for automobile-posting in lieu of a more centralized alternative.
- Jokes and Humor, which is pretty self-explanatory. please read the sidebar disclaimer, though
- Literature, also very self-explanatory.
- Nature and Gardening, our outdoorsy space in contrast to the more… climate change, public policy, and generally global Environment. all things nature, hiking, climbing, gardening, and things like that can be posted here.
- and Programming, which has been split off from the rest of Tech. see also its cousin FOSS, if you weren’t aware that one existed.
if your suggestion was not taken: i hopefully replied clarifying where it should go in the meantime, or it’s just intuitive if i missed a comment. as i said to a few people in the thread, another round of community creations is somewhere down the road–and probably not far–so don’t be too distressed!
thanks for using the website; hopefully this is my last big post of the day, lol. i’ll be trying to check out after this since most of the past two days have been spent keeping the site orderly
Sorry if this is a noob question but can only admins open communities?
Like for example if I wanted to create and moderate the following:
I would apply to do so somehow? Trying to figure out the user interface but maybe it’s limited because I’m on mobile.
Thanks
Correct we do not let users create communities on this instance. Most other instances do, or you can spin up your own instance to do so.
Maybe this is not how it works at all and it’s better to host your own instance?
Just learned that kbin magazines federate pretty well on Lemmy just by adding an @kbin.social at the end.
Example URL: https://beehaw.org/c/thegoldengator@kbin.social
That is only one way though. KBin to Lemmy doesn’t retain the /c/ community name as /m/ currently. Instead posts end up in /m/random/. This will probably be fixed in the future.
