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.

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...

I've been in the same boat, wondering if it will just be more stress.

yeah ive been thinking of starting an nsfw gaming community or something, but idk if that a good idea or not and it might be hard to do and im still thinking it over.

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.
