The title, really.

On Reddit, I was one of the ubiquitous lurkers. I’d like to maybe participate a little more on Lemmy, now that I’m here. I might even like to start a community, but I’m concerned about what kind of a commitment I might be getting myself into. I really have quite enough BS in my life without inviting more.

I’d be grateful for any advice, experience, or warnings folks might have. Thanks, and have a good one!

Edit: Thanks everyone for your responses! Maybe I will try my hand at a community or two!

    This is what I’d like to see. Small communities coming together to create a bigger whole. And then groups being able to splinter off again if they feel the need.

      @Kichae As I understand it, the proposal is basically just an interface thing at the user level. So a user can choose to display multiple technology groups from different instances together.

        this would be the best way. having then separate is a fundamental thing of the federation. being able to visually put them together should be on the user level.

        there should be a clear notice for which comm your new posts default to. likely the instance you’re actually on, but it’s possible that you don’t even want to join the comm for your own instance
