A few communities possibly worth tending (lemmy.world)

Slightly surprised to find the Adulting, Career Guidance, and Jobs communities haven't gained too much traction, or in one case stalled out. Although these communities aren't the most exciting or uplifting, so it also makes sense.

I'm talking about the following on Lemmy World specifically:

Given the second community never went anywhere, it's probably best to instead focus on Jobs if anyone was interested. Unfortunately in the case of both the Jobs and Adulting community, the moderators no longer seem to be active to coordinate with to help the communities along.

In looking about the only similar communities I could find to these were on other instances one might also consider too large or controversial, if not both (e.g. Lemmy ml and Lemmygrad). Given their lack of activity, if there was enough interest they might be rebuilt on other instances with more effort to get them going. However, seeing as that already seems to be something of an uphill struggle, revitalizing what's here might be preferable.

Thoughts?

To be completely honest, I simply do not want to contribute to anything that is on lemmy.world. Nothing against them, but I do not want to further increase the network dependence on any single instance.

If these communities were created on a smaller instance or (better yet) a topic-specific server, I'd gladly find a way to contribute and bootstrap them.

As noted, seeing as they're neither consistently active nor terribly large (Adulting is the largest of the two with any posts), building them on other instances now would probably be just as well. They're decent enough topics to try to build communities around imo.

Indeed. Do you have any instance in mind to host them?

Same here
