Looking for collaborators to create a new instance of Lemmy. Among other things this instance will differ from existing ones by having a self-governing structure. Check out the very rough draft linked below to learn about my current vision for this community. Much on the doc will change based on other people’s ideas. This community’s goal is for it to belong to the community. No specific skills needed, but please read through the concept outline before getting in touch. Any type of contribution is amazing. You just have to be interested. Join me in creating a unique and innovative platform.
The link does work, it just takes absolutely forever to load, that’s probably why they thought it was broken
My concern is abuse of democracy, people could make multiple accounts pretending to be one person and influence decisionmaking that way.
Only users that are trusted enough could participate in decision making. You might have to have an account for x days or have x amount of post/ comment points. It would need to be something that needs to be worked.
Certainly interesting!
I have received feedback that a more clear goal is important before I begin. I’m going to create a new draft then begin to find people to start it with. If you’re interested I can send you the new draft when it’s done.
Sounds good to me!
Hi! Here’s a new doc with all ideas being much more thoroughly explained. I hope you’ll consider helping out in some way. :)

I’m definitely extremely interested, if you make a community, please send me a PM with the link!
Does discord and or element work for brainstorming ideas? I’m thinking that would be better until the instance is actually up.
Please don’t use discord, we need to move away from centralized services that create monopolies on communities.
