Hello I would like to share some communities I made on my instance. (lemmy.selfhostcat.com)

I mod some of these communities on other instances but wanted to provide decentralized alternatives, since that’s the whole point of Lemmy, and explore admining since I enjoy selfhosting :)

Very niche communities but I welcome anyone to join and post.

I find that many communities with the same name fragments users. Then posters try to post to every community with the same name which produces duplicate posts that fragment conversation. The two noncredibledefense communities are a good example of this, as are the half dozen parenting and dads communities.

It's a lousy user experience.
