Following the other thread (550 upvotes and 366 comments at the moment: https://lemmy.world/post/16211417), one of the complaints that people had what that some communities only exist on lemmy.ml and don’t have alternatives on other instances.
Let’s discuss this and see if we can organize together.
I suggest to have one topic per comment so that is is easier to discuss.
Creating the community isn’t the issue, usually it’s finding moderators

When I said moderator, I meant someone to bring people to the community as well 😅

No but I mean practically now, is anyone going to promote that new community to !jellyfin@lemmy.ml? Or do we expect people to hear about it by another mean?

Is it visible from other instances in the All feed? I just tried on my SJW alt and the community couldn’t be found

It is now, but what I mean is that if we expect people to see it from All, we need to sub to it from accounts on the biggest instances.
That’s what I did for !imaginary@reddthat.com a few days ago.
I mean, if your qualification for moderator includes “Not abusing powers to defend garbage extremist politics” then we currently have two communities that each have zero moderators.
Not sure if I got your comment correctly, are you implying that @rglullis@communick.news is going to power trip on the newly created !jellyfin@poweruser.forum, or do you mean something else?
No, just an implication towards the old lemmy.ml version of the community.
What I mean is, moving from a bad situation to an equally bad but improvable situation is still a good move. It might be better to have a small, unmoderated community than one governed by “pretend” moderators.
That said, if the above comment was pointing out a need to fulfill, as opposed to decrying the attempts at community replacement, then you could disregard my snide remark.
Got it!
