Personally i’m looking forward to seeing twobestfriendsplay, arkhamasylum, whowouldwin, and respectthreads, on here.

    I feel it probably makes more sense for location-specific instances to have their own communities for these things. So for example, have a Lemmy instance for London, e.g. london.lemmy.uk. Then have ~Freecycle@london.lemmy.uk community, which is for Freecycle posts in London.

    Of course anyone from other instances can join, it just seems to make sense that something so location specific should be in a location specific Lemmy instance (of which there are a growing number).

        At this point I don’t see one. Lemmy is still quite small, probably less than 10,000 active users. I guess my comment was idealistic rather that realistic for right now.

        There is a list of instances here: https://join-lemmy.org/instances

        Also one of the instances has created a community browser that lets you search communities across instances, but I haven’t seen anything freecycle related: https://browse.feddit.de/

        Except maybe https://slrpnk.net/c/zerowaste?

        I think your instance lets anyone create a community, so you could create a freecycle community for all until there are enough users to support regional ones.
