interesting.... those haven't come up in my searches.... possibly n00b error...

they are basically EXACTLY what I meant. Thank you.

 

As I assume a lot of us are, I am new to lemmy and so far liking it as a Reddit alternative.

I post here because Science@Beehaw is so far the only science community I could find on lemmy. Beehaw is not my local instance.

How would we all feel about creating more specific science communities. Stuff like Physics, Chemistry, Psychology, Electrical Engineering, etc.

Maybe Lemmy is to low-populated just yet to warrant these specifications, but I think these communities would cater quite nicely to professionals in their respective fields by allowing deep discussion which would fly over most users heads.

Maybe even something like a "Science" instance, so that Physics@Science, Chemistry@Science, could be implemented. I am at least ~6 months away from exploring the creation of my own instance, but what do you think of the idea?

Thank you for the FAQ!

One more question: So I can not create communities on lemmy.nz, but let's say I REALLY want to create a community on another instance. How would I go about it?

Would I need to create another account on an instance that does allow for creation of communities?

EDIT: let's further suppose that this community would have nothing to do with NZ inherently...
