There actually is a way, I updated my last reply as you were replying.

Thx so much! I will keep a note for that :)

I think people have to get used to the idea of it being ok to make a space for themselves in the fediverse.

That is indeed hard to realize.

As an average user (50+ year-old and not obsessed with computer stuff), I can tell you that one of the most intimidating things to me was/is the fragmented nature of said 'fediverse'. Between mastodon, lemmy, the video whose name I constantly forget and the other stuff going on... it's hard to keep track of what is what. It's even harder with the supposed portability/compatibility between various services (I have yet to understand how I am supposed to follow a discussion on lemmy using my mastodon account and vice-versa. Don't get me wrong, I'm fine admitting that's a me issue but still... it doesn't help me being more active and, to tell you the whole truth, I quit using my mastodon at all because I could not figure out out to use it hand in hand with the Lemmy one or even if it was possibility or I simply understood it wrong :p)

And that's not even mentioning people like myself who also blog: can it be done inbside lemmy? Is it considered good practice or not to link back to one's blog? Since I can't tell, I refrain to share any link to my personal blog ;)

The sad truth is that many of these communities will take months of effort by a single or small group of individuals before more people will join in.

That I'm fine with as I'm in no hurry. I would just not split our already small user base into smaller ones by creating one more community where it's not needed. Let's hope the admin of the Journaling community chimes in... but maybe I'm a bit too optimistic?
