Is it better to find a niche or to create a community of sorts and how do both work exactly, so i created my account not to long ago and most places feel dead in a way but if i created my own place its not like i would get many people and i have some ideas but there kinda dumb or “Spicey” to say or somehting like that. im not even sure if i have the motivation to create and manage a community.

    What are your values, and are you interested in the work of building and running a community? If you did what would you want from your community?

    Build it or not, you now know what you are looking for.

        something like this is not a bad way to try and deal with depression esp if you feel you are in a phase where you want to socialize with people more

        would suggest starting a community on an existing instance rather than starting your own so you dont have to deal with the stress of a server op role too.
