I prefer to have my own community, I already have my own vision/preference on what I want the community would be like
I’ve said this before:
I wanted something like Skyscrapercity forum but on Lemmy, or something similar to r/transit.
(As a context, in Skyscrapercity is a discussion forum about infrastructures in the world, underrated website)
Public transports are not limited to trams, trolleys, and street cars. It also includes trains, high-speed rail buses, etc. And my vision for this community is that I want the community to be discussion-oriented. For example, the accessibility of a public transport, the obstacles of building one, the ticket price, the effect it has on the city, integrations between modes, etc. Take a look at https://reddit.com/r/transit for example.
To be clear, I’m not saying that [email protected] is a bad community, it just has difference purpose, as far as I can understand. I’ll probably try to crosspost some of the post there.
You do you, but from experience it might be tiring to keep a community active as a single person. There have been several examples of people in the past setting up a community, trying to keep it alive for a few weeks, and then giving up because they never got traction. Shouting into the void has a real effect: https://slrpnk.net/post/8982899

Then there’s probably an overlap with the “fuck cars” community

You might want to promote your community there, but be ready for them to invite you to join their communities rather than them joining yours.
Anyway, good luck, we’ll probably see each other around here in the coming weeks!
