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 [email protected], so please don't suggest those. thanks folks!

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

“Fibers and Fabrics” would cover spinning, nalbinding, crochet, knitting, macrame, clothing, quilting, sewing, weaving, etc. and still be broad enough to be a lively community.

When things get too specific, they get sparse and lost and alone…

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.

  • news from anything but the usa, that's sorely needed.
  • a general photography community, both for discussion and showing pictures off.
  • something along the lines of /r/mealtimevideos.

What about Digital Art as subcommunity for Creative like Writing?

For painting of all things, 3d and so on

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. ❤️

Something like /r/Earthporn?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lets choose a better name though, lol. I always cringe at the "-porn" subreddits.

Given beehaw’s focus on building safe spaces and supportive communities, a community for people in addiction recovery might be a good addition.

Some of those subs in Reddit were / are pretty big, have helped a lot of people, and have saved a lot of lives.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Adding on a bit more. There is a particular need for safe secular recovery spaces. Spaces that will welcome people of all faiths and none.

NFL/Fantasy Football! That's what will draw me back to reddit right now

I've seen a few suggestions of witchy stuff, paganism, or witches vs patriarchy. So maybe just a "New Age" 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?

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Science

(then drill down with space, physics, chemistry, etc)

Japan/Japanese culture without anime/manga clutter would be nice.

LeopardsAteMyFace

Atheism

Anti-work

edit: linebreaks are hard.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Apologies if some already exist, I haven't thoroughly looked at at the whole list.

Personalfinance
Audiobooks
PCHelp
Bikecommuting
Hiking
Drones
Electricvehicles
Eyebleach[l
Kdrama

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

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)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)
  • Witchcraft and/or Paganism - Absolutely needs representation. Maybe to make it more general and allow for other religions as well it could be called "Spirituality"?
  • Keto
  • Stitchcraft/Needlecraft as a subboard of Creative.

Thank you for considering suggestions!

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.
