Thank you for considering suggestions!
Retro/decades which would include posts, pictures and nostalgia from the eras we grew up in to recall/remind us of those special times that meant something to us.
I really enjoyed the NoLawns group, and didn't see it suggested. Also, Travel was a great group to share pictures and travel tips, as well as ask questions.
I've seen a few suggestions of witchy stuff, paganism, or witches vs patriarchy. So maybe just a ~~"New Age"~~ "Spirituality" community that deals with paganism, wiccan, astrology, crystals, etc.
Doesn't have to be called that exactly, but I think it would be better to group that rather than a plethora of smaller communities with less traffic?
Comics, maybe? Like webcomics and comic strips.
Or U.S. comics ala Marvel & DC, etc - maybe just mix those in with anime/manga for now? Or mix them in with webcomics?
NFL/Fantasy Football! That's what will draw me back to reddit right now
Mathematics please. Unless that is covered under education.
Something for amateur music producers to share work in, get feedback, kudos, whatevs.
There were some communities on Reddit that I quickly gave up on because they were either dead, or full of jerks.
The one I couldn't find mentioned here would be /c/digitalminimalism. Here we could share tips and experiences on reducing screen time, using dumbphones, exploring minimal apps, and all things related to simplifying our digital lives.
I'd really like Entertainment to have subcommunities for Movies, TV, and Streaming.
I'd love one for Crafting, but understand if you feel this is too under "creative" to qualify.
I feel like the creative umbrella covers so much that isn't necessarily what people are making and I'd love to see everyone's personal crafts: knitting, crochet, embroidery, cross stitch, 3D origami, sewing projects in one place.
c/videos
I’d love a community related to making clothes :)
Basically r/sewing and r/historicalcostuming, but it could also include stuff like shoemaking, knitting, altering clothes, thrift flipping, hat making, vintage clothes, maybe also cosplays.
This is currently all in the creative community here but that one is a little too broad to my taste.
Maybe "Needle Work", so it could also include embroidery and cross stitch ?
I would love a proper Miniature Painting community. there is one at lemmy.world, but only has 13 users
I'd like to see beer and cocktail focused communities. Sharing reviews, recipes etc. Maybe just a general drinking culture sub for now until we get big enough to support multiple communities.
On that note maybe a marijuana community for those of us where it's legal who might want to discuss growing, different strains, etc.
Also climate news/activism.
IdiotsInCars
Japan/Japanese culture without anime/manga clutter would be nice.
What about Digital Art as subcommunity for Creative like Writing?
For painting of all things, 3d and so on
How about one for musicians to share their song covers? Some enterprising user made a similar community on another instance and it would be SO MUCH COOLER on beehaw.
c/mobility
c/cargobikes
Some community suggestions from Reddit that I loved to browse would be amazing if there are communities of them on here at Beehaw:
In case you missed it,, we do have a programming community already at !programming@beehaw.org
Running! The Reddit running community was helpful and very active and now they've shut down entirely
Apologies if some already exist, I haven't thoroughly looked at at the whole list.
