I'm going to miss AITA. Even if someone makes it a community, it will take a long time to populate.

Don't be afraid to create your own communities!

I think what’s scaring a lot of people off is moderation. I’ve considered creating a few communities myself but I’ve never been one for managing. I try to do my part by interacting with communities that have been created and driving activity. Huge kudos to those who are founding these communities though.

Just do it! It takes about 30 seconds to create one. It's going to take a long time before these communities, especially the more niche ones, require full-time moderation. Something like AskLemmy might be a big undertaking, but other niche subs are going to take awhile before it's too much for one person.

And hopefully by that time, others could help out with mod duties :)
