It just takes time for these communities to form.

On top of that, we can't expect communities to POOF into existence.
We have to be part of them to build them, which means making them if they don't exist yet as well as posting and commenting in the ones that do exist. I hope that people who are used to lurking on Reddit will go out of their comfort zone a bit and start to participate in fediverse communities so that we can build things up more quickly.
Yesterday lurkers are going to need to be today's commenters and posters!
I see y'all lurkin'
Not postin'
I feel attacked
You are being drafted. We are sending you out to colonize the fediverse!
I'm doing my part
i was a reddit lurker for 10 years. i didnt even have an account. today i made my second comment here. hello world
Chad!
Yea I was a prolific commenter but I think I only created maybe 6-8 posts in 14 years on reddit, and certainly never created a community. So I might have to step up. Regardless of reddit, I absolutely love the idea of the fediverse and the decentralized nature of it, so I really would like to see it succeed. It really does have to be the way forward on the internet to avoid corporate interests.
Same here. The voice in the back of my head says "be the change you want to see in the world", then I'm like "nah that's too much work"...
Redifugee here. I got here and created a community for Santa Fe, NM, USA (@SantaFe ), and another for Photobiomodulation/ Red Light Therapy (@photobiomodulation ). LoL, it's ain't much, but it's honest work.
I noticed there didn't exist a niche community that I'm passionate about so... I created it! It's like any other new platform, it just takes time.
I really want to take this attitude but I just don’t have time to become a moderator.
why do you doubt it? there are thousands of new people flooding in daily. set up the mags and post for engagement? sounds like a lot of work but I understand what you're missing, my communities are not here either, but I'm going to do my best to make a space for them.
Working on it! Right now, with this huge influx of new users, is a great time to create content that is very search engine friendly. In an effort to promote such content, I started the dance community here on kbin. Please join!
I created a couple of communities that I used to post to on Reddit:
Industrial Design and Jewelry Design
I’ve been working in both fields for years and I’d like to help build up these communities within the Fediverse.
Whether you’re a designer working in one of those areas, or are simply interested in them, feel free to join :)
