Are comics more in demand than stories? (lemmy.world)

I clarify:

I recently created a community where you can post stories, but I have a question: why didn't I find such a community in this instance? Is it just that the brain has an easier time absorbing content such as comics or manga, and reading causes excessive fatigue, or are there other problems, for example, writing is harder than drawing?

Hold on, yes we do want every community to exist on lemmy and the fediverse.

If all that people see are memes, technology, games, asking questions, politics and news all of the time that's available. They won't help grow the fediverse. The purpose of the fediverse is to offer people platforms to get them off the shit-world that centralized social media has become.

So if we have nothing else to offer them but those things, of course the fediverse won't grow.

You misread what I said. For the fediverse to work, it needs to be distributed. OP said they didn't see a stories community on "this instance" (was unclear whether they meant lemmy.world or lemmy.ml, but both are notoriously monolithic). Centralizing all users and communities onto a single instance is antithetical to the fediverse.
