I’m trying to migrate off of Reddit completely but there are a few communities that still don’t exist in the fediverse. Communities for the APS and Australian Unions being a couple of them.

    I’m not saying don’t do it, please don’t get me wrong. New and interesting communities are good.

    I’m saying the community proposed needs a ‘champion’, or even a team of people willing to consistently post content and be involved in the community. The Australian fediverse, in particular Lemmy, the source of most community visitors is orders of magnitude smaller than reddit.

    And IKT’s right, it could be only a single user keeping the community going, but thats okay if its fun to do.

    This post from Evan Prodromou is probably good inspiration,

    Also, post to your local city sub, thats a good way to help boost the general activity and interest here on AZ. I go for indie media where I can find it, otherwise AZ can sometimes feel like a Guardian/ABC repost site.

      Thanks for the tips!

      I know what you mean and it will of course be an uphill battle but I want to believe in Lemmy and cut one of my last ties to centralised social media.
