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:
- 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.
- try not to make your suggestions super specific, because we probably won't do super specific ones
- 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.
- 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!
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.
It's a bit more general, but I always really liked r/WeAreTheMusicMakers. Sub for people who were creating music to talk about methods, techniques, and just different parts of the lifestyle in general. Also people could share their music, which does have the chance of being low quality spam but if you contain it to like a weekly megathread It's manageable.
