Shootout to generate awareness of lemmy, outside lemmy (lemmy.ml)

I got the idea of this thread because of this comment

I know it's kinda depressing seeing all this empty communities, but I think the problem is that it's still all concentrated around privacy and tech. To create awareness of lemmy We should create more "casual" communities and share those threads outside.

As I already pointed out in the linked comment, I'll not dislike some cat tax.

In addition to a cat tax, I've been thinking about communities that could be more action oriented, and features that could make communities on Lemmy less about mindless content consumption and more about real-life and socialization.

e.g. I've considered starting a sublemmy for de-pollution where users collect litter from their communities, then post the amount of trash they have collected (by weight or volume). There could be a running total updated in real time, before & after photos, and events. I don't know if there is any interest in a community like this here.

Nice idea, but there's a privacy problem: not everyone wants to let people know where they live. Unless it's ok to use a throw account and delete it after some days.
