I just created !jellyfin@poweruser.forum
Creating the community isn't the issue, usually it's finding moderators
Don't worry about it for now. I will do it until someone steps up for it. Also, don't forget that I am actually working on tooling to make this job easier, so having any type of growing community would be an excellent way to find out the real pain point for moderators and work on the solutions.
When I said moderator, I meant someone to bring people to the community as well 😅
For that, I really have no answer other than "help with fediverser, stick with one community, and post as much as possible in the promoted communities".
No but I mean practically now, is anyone going to promote that new community to !jellyfin@lemmy.ml? Or do we expect people to hear about it by another mean?
Yes. Fediverser will help newcomers. Posting content in the "new communities" will help those already here. Everyone browses by all anyway, so the best way to promote new communities is by putting content there.
Is it visible from other instances in the All feed? I just tried on my SJW alt and the community couldn't be found
It should: https://sh.itjust.works/c/jellyfin@poweruser.forum
It is now, but what I mean is that if we expect people to see it from All, we need to sub to it from accounts on the biggest instances.
That's what I did for !imaginary@reddthat.com a few days ago.
Yeah, it would take one person on the bigger instances to do it. We can promote them in !newcommunities@lemmy.world and things should get bootstrapped.
That's what Lemmy Federate (formerly known as Lemmy Community Boost) does.
FYI: I am currently crafting a.post on discoverablity.
Nice, I've had mixed experiences with that tool in the past, I'll comment on your post
Yes, I am.noy 100% sure if it is still working but if you have anything to promote it's worth a go.
