When creating a community, it would be nice if you also upload an icon and banner. Please make sure you don't use copyrighted images but instead create your own or look for rights-free material.
For what it's worth, as someone participating in communities I'm likely to gravitate toward the most established one irrespective of what instance it's on. If there's a problem with an established community (bad moderation policies, bad moderators, lots of posts I don't like, or whatever) then I'll look for alternatives.
But generally, I'm more interested in more communities covering new and niche topics than I am in local copies of communities that are healthy on another instance.
we lack a /c/mealtimevideos in lemmy (at least I couldn't find one on any). That is, links to thought-provoking videos that are ~5-15 minutes long. Bite-sized videos just long enough to watch while you eat your lunch.
Hi Ruud, I'm new to your instance and I tried to create a community. However after I filled up all the info and clicked "create", the button just keeps rotating. I tried many times and it was all the same.
Is there any problem which prevents me from creating community? I noticed when I tried to create account from some other instances, if my account wasn't approved, I couldn't log in. The button kept rotating without any notice (similar to my problem here).
Hi Ruud, I did add the profile photo, also the name is in right format, as "self_healers_protocol" if I remembered correctly. I tried to create in other instance. It worked and it seemed that I shouldn't have had the underscore _.
