That was me. I don’t really feel like modding. I was offered a few mod spots on reddit over the past 11 years, took up one or two, didn’t really enjoy it.

But if everyone feels that way, then lemmy can never reach critical mass. SO i bit the bullet, created a community and hopefully someone will be interested in modding if it ever grows big.

If anyone’s interested, I created maliciouscompliance (one of my favorite subs to lurk in). Mostly reposts for now, but OC should trickle in slowly.

All the niche home media film label communities like r/Criterion, r/BoutiqueBluRay, r/ArrowVideo, etc.!

Also r/SupermanAndLois

.

r/HermanCainAward. All those stories of antivaxxers biting it are cathartic.

I want a sub thats never really existed in any substantial form. There really dont seem to be any solid communities for cartoons that has any decent foot traffic. I still have /co/ bookmarked cuz its the only place on the internet i’ve seen that will discuss just about any kinda cartoons that are not anime… Granted that site is full of a bunch of awful people so I dont really engage, but its nice to see an active place where people care about non-anime animated content and I always wanted a sub for it. I actually tried to make one my self but there obviously wasnt enough intrest in it, not really sure how one would grow a sub and didnt really want to put in the work in my self anyway

Is it easy to hand over control to someone else?

Absolutely, yes. There are a decent number of subreddits I enjoyed, but only as a lurker.

As a former reddit mod who’s made some communities here, so far they are 0% of the work of the reddit ones (not that I was working hard on the reddit communities, I set up automod and let it run). But so far I haven’t had to do any mod work here because there’s basically no spam and no bots. I’m sure that will change, but I can also just recruit more mods as the communities grow.

Hope someone can mod a bodyweightfitness community here

yeah, some of the local ones, like New Jersey and AITAH and askreddit stuff

/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 think the trick will be to make more generic subs. There probably aren’t enough users to have a dedicated “Zelda Tears of the Kingdom” sub, but “Nintendo” can actually gain traction. Anyone wanting to create a community should see if there’s already one that might satisfy the needs.
