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!

    /c/SuggestACommunity or /c/CommunityWish or /c/LookingForCommuntiy or /c/WhereIsMyCommunity

    People can go post when they are in the mood of wanting a community that doesn’t exist. Others can comment on it. If a big group of people are talking about a certain thing it might be more viable. Or, you might find out that there is a community like the one you are looking for already.

    Also people can make more in depth threads like about what kind of vibe/guidelines they are thinking of and have discussion about what others would like to participate in.

    It would serve as a record of what people have wanted. Would be useful both to show interest over time but also to think about communities that might have significant conflicts in expectations.
