I'm genuinely so excited to see some of the more focussed communities blossom on this platform as they have on Reddit over the years. Which are your favourites and which do you think could succeed here?

If your instance allows it, you should just have an option to create a community on the front page - some instances prohibit community creation to just their admins. I believe beehaw is one of them, to more or less curate/organize the content there as far as I understand (someone from their team would be able to better explain/phrase it than I have most likely).

Currently, I don't think Lemmy has a way to create communities on remote instances, so if you have a request for a community you'd want to reach out to their team (I imagine https://beehaw.org/c/support is a good place, but don't quote me on that) to see if it is something they'd be interested in.

@JakeSparkleChicken@midwest.social @russjr08@outpost.zeuslink.net Thank you, this can also be info for others. I'm afraid this is going to be community fragmentation anarchy. It's already not easy to find subs without a categorised index ... and then, hopefully there will be ways to move users/subs between servers. But let's see how this matures.
... damn how do i make this link and notify more than one user ...

If you click on Communities and select All, it allows you to search for Communities across all of Lemmy-Land, not just the instance that you've signed up on. I think that every instance can have its own separate community with the same name, but in a lot of cases that may even be desirable.

As far as moving users/communities between servers, that's Nomadic Identity. As far as I know, the only Fediverse project that implements it is the Zot protocol that Streams and Hubzilla are built on. ActivityPub does not support and it's not on the roadmap as far as I know.

Community search: yes i know and used it. It's just not useful if one doesn't exactly know what keyword to search for. An index by general topc would be nice to have. I was thinking about making a sorting thread but really, a subforum would not be the right place for it.

Migration of data ... well too much OT discussion coming to my mind.
