Scalies on the Fediverse? (lemmy.potatoe.ca)

Apologies if this isn't the best place to post this... but I've been wondering.

When I was researching moving over to the Fediverse, I noticed I actually couldn't find that much scalie-specific instances. Which of course isn't really bad per se, as we still have instances like this which is totally awesome. But anyway, then when I moved to Lemmy, one of the communities I have been following on that other platform, r/Dragons, doesn't really have a Lemmy equivalent, which is a bit more of a bummer to me. Maybe there just isn't much of us on the Fediverse (yet)? I guess I want to ask this: anyone know of any scalies on the Fediverse? Or better yet, Lemmy communities? If there isn't any of the latter yet, I'd be totally willing to make one! Only thing is I don't have much to post there...

Lemme know what you think (unintentional pun intended)!

I do have to admit I'm part of the problem...! I think that this probably is the reason why meme communities on Lemmy are so big right now -- memes are designed to be reposted, so we're seeing a lot of that content opposed to original content (which isn't a bad thing, but it tends to drown out other content on All pages). Maybe I can get around to making more art for once and I can start to populate Lemmy with more content :)

But for right now, I agree that things are quite fine as they are. I don't really feel a need to create a separate community as I would on say, another larger platform, because right now this space (and others on the Fediverse) feels like a community where people's voices are actually heard. It's really refreshing, honestly. But yeah, it's nice to see what people think on this! Thanks for your input!
