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!

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.

OH I'M AN IDIOT this is community suggestions!

Ummm...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.

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.

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.

As long as it doesn't just devolve into people posting hot photos of their parents/grandparents like r/oldschoolcool.

I would love a proper Miniature Painting community. there is one at lemmy.world, but only has 13 users

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I second this. A mini painting community or expanded to scale model and wargaming projects would be nice.

Some community suggestions from Reddit that I loved to browse would be amazing if there are communities of them on here at Beehaw:

  • c/programming
  • c/programminghumor
  • c/learnmachinelearning
  • c/AIresearch - discussion of new and upcoming AI/ML papers
  • c/CScareerQuestions

c/mobility

c/cargobikes

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Running! The Reddit running community was helpful and very active and now they've shut down entirely

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

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.

I’m missing cozyplaces and somewhere to gossip about Dragrace

A subreddit for 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.

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

An equivalent for r/contagiouslaughter, and similar. That kind of humor specifically, or funny videos, vs the simpler meme and knock knock jokes kind that can crop up in jokes & humor?

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

A lot of good suggestions here. I miss /r/Formula1, but that’s probably too niche for Beehaw at this point. That got me thinking along the lines of “motorsports,” with would be nice and broad. A wildcard option is “livesports” where people can discuss, well, sports that are live. Live threads when watching live sports are fun.

[–] [email protected] 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

A documentaries would be great
