As with /r/411 this is where you ask what Community you're looking for but not finding. Perhaps a bit more helpful now that some communities are only found on certain instances.

Found/new community announcements - there are numerous "announcement type communities - see https://lemmy.ca/post/612532

There is also !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca

Before you request There are several resources available to find communities and resources and these have been pinned to the top.

there are community search engines at https://browse.feddit.de/ and https://lemmyverse.net/communities
there are numerous other "find a community" and "community announcement" .. communities (list stickied; if you find another, comment pls)
we will publish a Community Listing (at an as-of-yet-undetermined schedule)

Not for deep interests, but you know like that old song about someone’s favorite things where the examples are all like copper kettles. Where you might write a few sentences about the little thing you like.

Why not make the community?

Not sure I’d want to moderate it, and I don’t think my instance allows random communities.

Don’t worry about moderation until it gets popular enough to require moderation

Alternatively, you can post in other communities. Maybe in a common format?

What is your favourite old song and why?

What is your favourite copper kettle?

Some possible community types

!asklemmy@lemmy.world for discussion generating questions
!casualconversation@lemm.ee for similar
!buyitforlife@slrpnk.net or !buyitforlife@sh.itjust.works for product recommendations

etc.

Then finally you can compile a list of posts somewhere so you can have it all in one place

You could totally create a new community too, but I think it will take more work to get something like this off the ground. The moderators might be posting a lot of the content early on

As an example, just came across this post

What type of pen do you prefer to use?

Do you mean My Favourite Things from The Sound of Music?

[–] connect@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago

Yes, that's it.
