As with /r/411 this is where you ask what Community you're looking for but not finding. Perhaps a bit more helpful now that some communities are only found on certain instances.

Found/new community announcements - there are numerous "announcement type communities - see https://lemmy.ca/post/612532

There is also !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca

Before you request There are several resources available to find communities and resources and these have been pinned to the top.

there are community search engines at https://browse.feddit.de/ and https://lemmyverse.net/communities
there are numerous other "find a community" and "community announcement" .. communities (list stickied; if you find another, comment pls)
we will publish a Community Listing (at an as-of-yet-undetermined schedule)

Trying to move away from reddit and find equivalents to stuff like r/cptsd, r/suicidewatch, r/depression, r/misanthropy, etc. on here, but so far I haven't found anything that isn't either dead or inactive. Does anyone know of anything? Preferably something welcoming and non toxic, thanks.

Hello! So long as you follow the rules you're completely allowed.

Well, we have a few times(a few thousand times?) fewer people here on Lemmy. All communities are tiny here. But do you really need hundreds of people around? Just find some community with regular new postings and ask whatever you need there. You won't find a drama, but you might get some answers.

Also often with these communities, it's hard to judge how alive a community is without posting to them.

You can make the first post after a month and still get a lot of discussion, if a lot of people were subscribed to it beforehand

Definitely agree. You post to a community inactive for weeks and suddenly there's 300 upvotes and 20 comments
