I’d love to create a few niche places like the ones I enjoyed on reddit but when it comes to creating a community on Lemmy, the barrier to entry is steep for me. From what I understand I need an always-on storage medium to host and I don’t really have a spare device that I can reliably keep on 24/7 to host a community on here. I wish it were easier but that’s the nature of the beast I spose.
Okay so im new here and I can’t figure out how to view all communities in one spot on desktop. I can on mobile through the apps. Like reddit’s /r/popular
Probably a range of things. Like the fediverse is growing, but look at bluesky’s success. They forgo the real benefit of the structure, but people get a “just make a login” experience.
The kids are probably on something I don’t even know.
I thought about making a bluesky account, but it doesn’t entirely feel all that safe when conservatives are freely posting their misinformation over there too without any pushback.

I wish more people converted over, but the user experience for the fediverse is very strange for many people, tech inclined folks I know included.

None taken. Thanks for contributing.

You only need a server if you want to run an entire instance (ex.
lemmy.world). Anyone can create a community on most instances.The graphics on this guide might help:

Thank you! I must have gotten instances and communities confused. Still getting used to the fediverse 😅

Where else are people going besides here?
