I’ve been going to Reddit over and over because Lemmy doesn’t have the same machine learning, data science communities that Reddit has . Does anyone know of any communities?

I would love to do that . It’s just that I find myself incapable and also I’m just a student right now , making a community would mean being some sort of an expert no?
But yeah I’ll absolutely love to do that some day.

Alrighty . Thank you for answering. I’m definitely not hesitant anymore. I’ll ask some friends like I said and see if I can give it time . Thank you very much
It’s basically just one button. There’s a podcast I like and there wasn’t a community so I just started one and had the first post up within a couple minutes.
Just make it clear what kind of community you’re starting in community info throw a couple questions or posts related to what you’re interested to up there and see if anyone bites.
You don’t need any technical knowledge to start a lemmy community, It isn’t like starting an instance. It’s just starting a group within whatever instance you’re part of already. And all the basic tools are already there.
Thank you very much. And yes I’ll definitely think about it. Although I still wonder 🤔 if I’ll be able to give it time but I’ll make one if I can make some time. I’m sure there are many other new Lemmy users who would love a programming community. Thanks for the pointers .
For sure. I mean I created that community and I basically give it no time at all haha, I’m just starting it up for fun and throw up posts when I feel like it and hope that eventually some people get interested.
Oh man this is going to be a really important lesson for you to learn: you do not need to be more competent than others, or even more competent than average, in order to run a community about a competency.
The skills involved in running a community are not the skills the community is about. Being able to moderate and encourage discussions which you yourself cannot dominate is a super important leadership skill.
If the idea seems attractive to you, do it.
But also be realistic about your time. It could be you don’t have time to start, shape, and run a new community.
That doesn’t mean you can’t spend some time identifying others who could run it and then selling the idea to them.
Ohh 😭 okay . Alright I will ask a few friends who also would love to collaborate. We recently worked on a GAN and we’re looking for resources . Thanks for the advice I’ll definitely think about it.
If it makes you sad to give up a leadership position maybe that’s an indication you’re in the wrong major. Or if it’s too late to change majors, then an indication of the direction you’ll want to go after you graduate.
Why would you think I was sad? Lmao 😂 Nah . I love my major. Been topping classes since childhood. You can say that I’m aware of the fact that there are people who might know more than me. Which makes me think if I’m still a student then maybe I should learn from them first.
