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)

I used to follow subs like that fairly closely. I think most people loyal to ukr will stay on the platform that has continuity (reddit) because it is "life and death" and change could cost too much (credibility, missed crucial status communications, Russian hackers attacking a new and not yet hardened platform, etc.)
I think the user base that transferred over are mostly devs and techy people who saw the writing on the wall. A couple of the large instances have ~150k active users, so there may be almost 0.25-1million people here, but I have no idea how many are war information inclined.
The Ukrainian community on lemmy doesn't seem to be posting things that necessarily support the ukraine war propaganda, so perhaps a different sub would be required for bullet #2.
I hope someone else responds to correct me. I think that you creating the war community could be a great contribution if you have time to cultivate it!
Thanks for taking the time to answer this. As a techy myself, I totally get what you mean about the audiences that have migrated to Reddit and why pro-Ukrainian discussion would focus on continuity.
Seems like the community would be smaller, but worthwhile setting up and seeing if people take to it. Just gotta think of a proper name, always the hardest bit, as I think mirroring reddit's separation of communities would lead to over-fragmentation here.
Hi! I'm the mod of !credibledefense@sh.itjust.works. I'm the only contributor at the moment, but I've been trying to do so pretty regularly. If you're interested in r/cd style discussion in a federated environment, we'd love to have you.
!noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works is the biggest NCD community that I know of, might want to sub to that too if you're interested in the memes.
