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 !neurodivergence@beehaw.org, so please don't suggest those. thanks folks!

  • 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.

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.

Wholesome (unless Betterment and Praxis covers that?)

[–] alyaza@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

oh, a word on ambiguous ideas/ideas that might be covered by another section: you can just shoot from the hip here and we'll try and parse out what to do about that

[–] Lionir@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think it depends on what is meant by wholesome, are we talking like cute pics and feel-good stories? If so, I'm not sure that's quite the role that Betterment & Praxis is going for

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.

[–] marauderprophecy1998@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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
[–] rknuu@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In case you missed it,, we do have a programming community already at !programming@beehaw.org

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. ❤️

[–] wxboss@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] bird@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] DontMakeMoreBabies@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Something like /r/Earthporn?

[–] ag_roberston_author@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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)

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.

[–] Kuroneko@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] ZenGrammy@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

I'm late to the party but one of my favorite places on Reddit was MomForAMinute, where people could stop by and share their news or vent or talk about whatever they need to and get internet Mom Hugs. It was such a wholesome place.

[–] SweetSitty@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Lowbird@beehaw.org 4 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.

[–] Dee_Imaginarium@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] aka_oscar@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah its broad enough to fit them all. We just need Windows and Macos user to post their stuff on there.

[–] FrozenLama@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] WhelmedInEurope@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Cylinsier@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] WolfsTail@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What about Digital Art as subcommunity for Creative like Writing?

For painting of all things, 3d and so on
