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 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.

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.

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?

[–] DannyBoy@mastodon.ie 3 points 1 year ago

@alyaza An equivalent to:

r/FakeHistoryPorn
r/Steam
r/StupidFood
r/GameDeals
r/HardwareGore
r/SoftwareGore

[–] storksforlegs@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] tangentism@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

A Music Production specific community.

We need more meme channels. What about c/ShittyFoodPorn?

[–] daniel@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year 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.

[–] lockedcasket@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Lowbird@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year 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)

[–] Lowbird@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.
