MODERATORS
 

update: we're compiling them now, new suggestions have about 4 hours to come in before i call it and lock the thread. thank you for all of your suggestions

following the defederations and given the inconvenience, it's time for a new round of community solicitations so we can add possible ones to our survey!

to make this easier for us, please follow a few groundrules here:

  1. make your suggestions top level comments. do not reply to people with suggestions! they'll probably get lost and i won't get paged if you make them.
  2. try not to make your suggestions super specific, because we probably won't do super specific ones
  3. try not to duplicate a suggestion once it's already made (i know lemmy's display isn't great for this). while imperfect, if you like an idea please upvote it instead.
  4. this is not intended to be a general discussion thread, so please try to keep that to a minimum. i will prune comments as needed if i think they're cramping the utility of this thread

additionally, we've already been suggested the following and those will be on the survey. i will prune any suggestion which is a duplicate of/is covered by one of these:

  • anime and manga
  • world news
  • tabletop gaming
  • vegan/vegetarian
  • education
  • parenting
  • camping
  • fitness

and for responsibility reasons we can't really offer mental-health related communities past !neurodivergence@beehaw.org, so please don't suggest those. thanks folks!

a witchcraft community would be amazing!! i haven’t yet found a good one across the federated internet and i have found the communities across various witchcraft niches are all very kind. ❤️

A documentaries would be great

An equivalent of r/ifyoulikeblank (suggestions based on things you already like), and/or r/tipofmytongue (for trying to find things you've forgotten the name of)

Given how many posts about Reddit have not been on the threads set up for them, a Reddit-specific community to post in might be worth considering. Though I don't know for how long that'll remain an issue, and it could devolve into navel-gazing.

Aquariums? (Fishkeeping, aquascaping & plants, ponds, questions and discussions etc).

There was a pretty active and generally positive sub on reddit. If such a place hasnt already been created on another instance that might be a fun community.

Windows OS

And/or

Mac OS

To match all the Linux communities?

The windows discussions on reddit were always really helpful.

Or maybe just Tech Support.

Or an even more general "Advice and Help" or "Troubleshooting" hive, for any kind of troubleshooting.

Sorry if these have already been suggested... communities equivalent to: r/backpacking r/vagabond r/solotravel r/onebag r/heronebag

Physical media? (For collectors of film, game vinyl, etc)

[–] bear_delune@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A community about music production would be cool! I feel like the current music community is mostly about listening to music or making recommendations, it'd be cool to have one that's dedicated to production.

I think I'd like something related to a second hand market. That might not be good for an early pass of communities, but it's still something I'd like to see eventually. It looks like sustainability is a popular suggestion, and so a second hard market could probably go in there. One of the big things with sustainability is to stop consuming new goods constantly and to instead part ways via sales with products you no longer strictly need, and to get new goods you want second hand from someone else doing the same

I think most of the suggestions here are wonderful and as long as everything is kept positive I think it should attract the right communities to thrive.

[–] somethingfells@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Thank you for doing this! A few suggestions I haven't seen or couldn't find, at least, are below.

  • Spanish / Español
  • AskWomen / AskWomenOver30
  • Wilderness Backpacking
  • Medicine
  • Cooking

I know there has been some posts of wanting an Archery community, but at the same time the conversations I've seen have also wondered about the widespread appeal of it, and the plan (if a main community isn't created) is to keep posting in sports until (if) there is enough interest.
