Do we have a Trippin' Thru Time community yet?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 10 months ago (3 children)

No but there are 33 communities devoted to Linux. Does that help?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

Do you all want to start another Linux community?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

It actually does, thanks a lot!

I want my meme communities back, but I don't want to create them, I don't have that kind of commitment lol

I hear you. I was just bitching about not even having an "art" community on Lemmy, but I don't have time to start or upkeep that. As much as Lemmy hates money, I wish there were some incentives to have healthy communities. Like if you start a community and have more than 50 posts per day you get a little shitcoin or a floppy disk signed by Linus Torvalds or something.

I remember seeing someone advertising an art community on [email protected] a few days ago...

EDIT: it was [email protected], is that kinda like what you're looking for?

Art is so broad though, I support the idea of an art community but it would be useful to have an idea of what kinds of rules the community would have. Main reason art communities go out of control is that people start posting their art, and then you are swamped in AI waifus and scribbles made on lined paper.

It would be useful to have like a board of people where you can gather interest and discuss to see there is a minimum amount of people sharing your idea of a community before getting it started.

Yeah, I like that idea. Like a lets start a community community where you can guage interest and if a post starts growing they can just go start the community and continue the discussion there. Seems like a better strategy than starting a corn doll community and sitting around waiting for another corn doll enthusiast to find you and post some corn doll pictures.
