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!

I quite like the idea of a BeeHawDevs community, I'm not sure if there's a discord or something already but having a community specifically dedicated to building new features for BeeHaw would be nice I think. Since we'd all have to juggle things around jobs and stuff it would be nice if there was a centralised list of tasks/features that needed doing in order of priority that people could drop in and work on when they had a spare weekend.

In that case shouldn't it more be a LemmyDevs community? Since building new features and improvements for Beehaw would be building them for Lemmy since that's what Beehaw is running.
