You are just describing all of us lurkers and occasional commenters

I've been trying to find an alternative to r/AskPsychology anywhere online because I've been trying to find statistics on how likely people with NPD and ASPD are to be abusive and be abused compared to the general population and have had no luck. Asking on places like Quora just results in dipshits and grifters screeching about how people with personality disorders are actual demons from literal hell (and in the latter case, shilling their blog, books, and webinars). ~Cherri

Sorta, Got a bunch of the more niche communities I was in made, with only two exceptions. I believe in being the change I want made, but I"m hardly experienced as a moderator so it's a new adjustment. They're also existing communities so some mods usually have issues with that, though I'm always open to give mod status when relevant.

The Orville, and its less I refuse to be a mod for it, and more that I do not think that putting it on my instance would be the best place for it . That being said I keep thinking about doing that.

I agree. You can always just go for it though, and atleast grab a place holder. Then advertise and hand of the topic to a better qualified team. That's what I did for a lot official gaming discords I set up, but didn't really want to continue moderating.

Maybe c/[email protected] would be a good stop.

I'm a huge sci-fi fan and love the idea of a sci-fi server with communities for books, tv shows, etc to rehouse places like r/scifi, r/TheExpanse and r/SiloSeries. But as dev as I am I don't fancy running a server and being a super mod.

Yes! I want someone other than me to start a ZeroCovid group here.

Yeah, the local ones like New Jersey or AITAH, but more importantly AskHistorians, AskScience, badHistory, etc

The world is lacking a space simulation sub in Lemmy.

Yeah there's quite a few niche communities I'd like to have here that aren't around yet, but even if I created them, I don't think we're at a userbase large enough to populate them. They were kinda slow even on Reddit.

All this made me realize I only used reddit to not deal with boredom and having to just sit there alone with my thoughts.

Maybe it is time to start taking mindfulness seriously.

/r/dailyprogrammer New challenges on there pretty much came to a halt. It would be great if it could be archived at least. I would browse through the challenges and pick one out.

I miss r/AMD, there's a couple around on here but they're pretty much dead.
