The thing is, what exactly would you want from a czech-specific community? I mean "my" German one is decidedly not dead, but I see no reason to participate because I just don't care about "Germany" as a concept that much. It's the actual topics that interest me, and there it doesn't matter where someone is from.
You probably don't get the purpose of the community. At feddit.de, you have no shortage of communities from !femjungenmaimais@feddit.de to !falschparker@feddit.de, but similarly to Czech subreddits, we only have two, separated by language:
So !czechrepublic@czech-lemmy.eu is not exclusively about the state. It is supposed to be an alternative to r/czech, discussing anything “Czechs” might be interested in, as opposed to broader audiences like !europe@feddit.de. This is purposefully vague and highly inclusive.
I would suggest you to consider joining/posting if you meet at least one of the conditions:
If you're still unsure, look at some posts at r/czech, not necessarily top ones, and see what fits. There is a large gray area, for example this map is unlikely to classify as Czech-related but this one could despite both having been created by a Czech.
As for topic separation, r/czech has tags
HUMOR
/META
/PICTURE
/POLITICS
/CZECH MADE
/QUESTION
etc. but not only does Lemmy not support them yet, the current amount of content is more than manageable without them. After growing enough, r/czech was “split” into other subreddits, like r/czechmemes (CZ/EN memes) and r/okkamaraderetarde (CZ Gen Z dank memes).
