There’s a few already on lemmy in general. Not sure what you’re not seeing
This is the first on lemmy.world. But unless it’s important to have one on .world, why not just join another that’s already thriving?

A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
Rules
The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World's rules. You can click the link but we've reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn't a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.
1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.
A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn't rulebreaking and we can't be supportive to them then we probably shouldn't engage.
B. No illegal content.
C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.
D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.
E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.
2. Include a community title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.
Formatting
Please include this following format in your post:
[link text](/c/[email protected])
This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't
You should also include either:
or instance.com/c/community
FAQ:
Q: Why do I get a 404?
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

MODERATORS
Unfortunately for me and OP and a bunch of us, the one that could be described as thriving is the one on Beehaw and they defederated sh.it and world. But now we're in the situation of that "one more competing standard" XKCD comic and that also isn't really beneficial.
Because the instance admins encouraged people to make their own communities.
I don't really see why not otherwise there wouldn't be much point to making communities XD
The main reason would be fracturing people who would be interested in joining across different communities - someone might find a few LGBT+ communities and miss others, same as if someone made another LGBT+ community here on lemmy.world which some people join instead of yours. Activity, content and visibility in these early days of Lemmy are kinda tough to get, and spreading out across instances makes it tougher.
But, of course you're totally free to make your own community too! That's part what makes federation so cool, if you're unhappy with existing communities and/or their moderation you can always make your own, and people from anywhere else can join. Best of luck :)
Because there is a seperate federated few communities already existed out there for LGBTQ communities. It might not be on the .world systems but a few communities out there use their own systems and community bunch. Nomatter where your home account is, you can access, see and post on the others. Just know it does take some time for access in some communities as some are rather cautious.
Eh, I like World better because of a few bad apples I've had to deal with in other instances like beehaw for example. People seem nicer here.
Very fair enough, It was more of a informative response. Lately a giant jump in userbase increase among various federated systems, so information somewhere is always a good thing :)
