Is it better to find a niche or to create a community of sorts and how do both work exactly, so i created my account not to long ago and most places feel dead in a way but if i created my own place its not like i would get many people and i have some ideas but there kinda dumb or “Spicey” to say or somehting like that. im not even sure if i have the motivation to create and manage a community.
It’s always better to search first, in my opinion.
If a community is missing, and you don’t feel like creating or running it yourself, a next step could be to talk about it. See if others share your interest, and maybe one or more people step up to make it happen.
There’s a tool where you can search for communities and join them: https://browse.feddit.de
Search first and see if you find one that you like. I found a New Jersey one and was the first to post. Apparently it’s on a “free speech” instance which some of its members were quick to point out to me, so I won’t be going back lol. Hopefully, someone will start a better one. I don’t belong to an instance that allows community creation and I don’t really want to mod one either, so it probably won’t be me.
What are your values, and are you interested in the work of building and running a community? If you did what would you want from your community?
Build it or not, you now know what you are looking for.
Im interested in building a group or a community but im not sure if i should start one or not becasue i lack motivation and i have depression…
something like this is not a bad way to try and deal with depression esp if you feel you are in a phase where you want to socialize with people more
would suggest starting a community on an existing instance rather than starting your own so you dont have to deal with the stress of a server op role too.
Look around to see if theres a community that already fills that niche. If there is, join it. If not, make it. If it doesn’t get any traction you can just wipe it out.
