I am looking for a console repair community. I didn’t see one when I searched “all” communities on lemmy.world. But I’m new here and didn’t want to reduplicate a community that already exists perhaps under a different name?

    While the fediverse is young you may be better off to stick to a more umbrella category like hardware, not only because you’ll get more eyeballs, but also to pick up the engagement there. Once the fediverse grows a bit more, it will become necessary to have more specialised communities. There may be a risk of them becoming dilapidated ghost towns if they are created too soon, rather than growing organically.
