I don't know if there is enough interest, but is it possible to get a maker community created? Some things like 3d printing don't always quite fit into DIY or Creative.

Most of us here want to remain defederated with them, so NBD

I understand, and it's a great thing that we all can decide our experience. About the maker community, I guess the other option is to just create it and see what happens. If beehaw is defederated with many other instances, it would limit potential spread (again, this might be a desired outcome), but maybe it would fit in here: https://discuss.tchncs.de/communities or a similar instance?
I would be interested in a maker community, right now I'm subscribed to various niche ones like lasercutting, microcontroller, etc.

Beehaw admins have to make communities here, which is partly why I posted here. Also partly to gauge interest. And yeah, I don't think there are enough users for a bunch of niche communities, but one maker community that covers them all might work
