Ok, here’s the thing: Earlier this week I had the idea of setting up a Lemmy community focused on Lowpoly modeling done with PicoCad, Blockbench and Blender. I went with my Mastodon instance looking for feedback on community regulations. Then the admin of my instance contacted me to tell me if he wanted me to set up a whole Lemmy instance.

He told me it was something he had been thinking about for a while. He already has several projects in the fediverse: two Mastodon instances (TKZ.one and Mas.lat), one on Pixelfed (Pixelfed.es), one on Peertube (TKZ.video), etc. It’s just that, as I wasn’t familiar with Lemmy, I didn’t know where to start, and as I’m one of the only ones in the instance that is active on Lemmy…

Lemmy is the second page, after Mastodon, where I’ve been messing around the most and I’m close to a year around here (it’s not much, but it’s something), so I’m pretty familiar.

The instance is already set up (Lem.to). At the moment it has nothing, since we just finished making it today. It will be focused on the Spanish-speaking public, although I don’t rule out the possibility of bilingual communities (Spanish and English), although that remains to be seen.

So, I am asking for help to know how to get off to a good start in this new responsibility. I would like to do the best job possible and attract more users to Lemmy if possible. Any advice is welcome.

    That’s exactly my goal, to start with Spanish content, gain some traction and then expand to other languages (English and maybe Portuguese 'cause Brazilian people are hella fun).

    May I ask Where can I find those support channel you talk about?
