[META] Can I Request communities?

oshaboy@lemmy.world to New Communities@lemmy.world – 12 points –

I am looking for a crossdressing selfie community on lemmy but I don't want to make one myself because I am not good at moderation? Can I request one on this community to find people who may be interested in participating in or moderating of such a community? Or is this only for people who already made a community and intend to moderate it?

It's maybe better to start something yourself and then request help if it's gets popular rather than ask someone else to start it for you.

On average, Lemmy communities have about 170 subscribers, so there's every chance you wouldn't have to do any moderation at all.

I see... I guess I will try giving it a go.

I can help moderate if you'd like. Once we gain some traction we could hand it off to more experienced community members or something.

I won't have anything to actually post to it though. So I'd mainly be able to contribute to making sure post comments are all good vibes.
