  • Do you have a suggested name for the community? (not required, but if you have an idea, feel free to share)
  • Do you have a suggested instance/server for the community? (some servers have significantly different views on different topics)

Thanks to @stuartml@piefed.social for starting the ball rolling on these types of posts.

    You can try it out and post regularly (weekly or a few times a week) with cross-posts to a larger community to see if it gains the traction you are looking for.

    !tabletop@beehaw.org seems a bit dead, but !gaming@beehaw.org seems to welcome all types of gaming, so could be a good option. I’d suggest only 1 cross-post per post so it doesn’t come across as spammy. Also, the !fedigrow@lemmy.zip sidebar has some links to help federate and grow your community that you may want to check out.

    I’ve made a community (!fedilytics@piefed.zip) that was just my interest (fediverse analytics) and I was the only one who posted in it for the first few months, but usually people would stop by and comment. I found/find those conversations worth the effort of posting. The community has grown a bit and now there is another regular poster and potentially a couple irregular posters.
