    Hey! You should totally create those communities by yourself, takes less than 5 seconds!! (Via the website though – sadly the apps don’t yet have that functionality…but will soon)

    For example, I created [email protected], since there’s no Beatles community here. Never modded any subreddit in my life, so it’s a first for me.

    I’m soon gonna make a list of maybe 8-10 communities I like and create them over here. Then I’ll post links to them on the corresponding subreddits.

    I don’t plan to actually mod them actively, so I’ll pass the modding powers to others if/when the communities get a good number of followers.

    You could do the same, it’s like being Johnny Appleseed!

      I thought about creating them but I figured someone already did and I don’t want to fracture the community. Someone already created a boardgames community in a German server (content seems to be English), is it best to jump in there and add some content or create a new English community? No clue.

        I’d say just go post in English there, if you’re not supposed to, someone will probs drop you a ping.

        I also sense that people here are keen on having multilingual communities, so English posts may even be welcome. Either way, it’s the wild west here, so just go for it.

      I wasn’t sure how hard it would be. Doesn’t sound too bad from your words. Perhaps I’ll make one myself. Would be nice to have a place for those in Machine/Systems Integration to have a place to exchange ideas and get help.

        Yep, just explore around and give it a shot. Most of the intimidation, at least for me, was psychological. Once I worked with that, it became clear that it’s fairly straightforward to set up communities and rally people towards them.
