More Specific Science Communities (lemmy.nz)

As I assume a lot of us are, I am new to lemmy and so far liking it as a Reddit alternative.

I post here because Science@Beehaw is so far the only science community I could find on lemmy. Beehaw is not my local instance.

How would we all feel about creating more specific science communities. Stuff like Physics, Chemistry, Psychology, Electrical Engineering, etc.

Maybe Lemmy is to low-populated just yet to warrant these specifications, but I think these communities would cater quite nicely to professionals in their respective fields by allowing deep discussion which would fly over most users heads.

Maybe even something like a "Science" instance, so that Physics@Science, Chemistry@Science, could be implemented. I am at least ~6 months away from exploring the creation of my own instance, but what do you think of the idea?

Currently we like general topics to make sure that there's enough conversations being made. If the science community gets pretty big, we'd indeed like to divide it into things that take a lot of space on the community.

I also think that instances that are specialized are pretty cool.
