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!

Maybe c/Computers including this, os, troubleshooting, and customization discussions?

[-] annenas@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago

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.

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. ❤️

[-] Lowbird@beehaw.org 6 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)

Given beehaw’s focus on building safe spaces and supportive communities, a community for people in addiction recovery might be a good addition.

Some of those subs in Reddit were / are pretty big, have helped a lot of people, and have saved a lot of lives.

[-] ghostalmedia@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

Adding on a bit more. There is a particular need for safe secular recovery spaces. Spaces that will welcome people of all faiths and none.

[-] FrozenLama@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

[-] Lowbird@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

Comics, maybe? Like webcomics and comic strips.

Or U.S. comics ala Marvel & DC, etc - maybe just mix those in with anime/manga for now? Or mix them in with webcomics?

Mathematics please. Unless that is covered under education.

[-] WolfsTail@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

Migraines. Reddit's community was highly active, supportive, and informative. Perhaps too narrow, but an estimated 15% of people are affected which makes the target audience fairly broad. Never saw toxicity in that community so it would probably be an easy one to moderate. No current migraine community on the fediverse.

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.

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

How about one for musicians to share their song covers? Some enterprising user made a similar community on another instance and it would be SO MUCH COOLER on beehaw.

[-] Corhen@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

I would love a proper Miniature Painting community. there is one at lemmy.world, but only has 13 users

Baking or cooking in general?

Already see parenting on there. 😁 Us parents thank you.

[-] cnnrduncan@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago

Beehaw already has a food/cooking community!

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.

[-] storksforlegs@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Something like /r/Earthporn?

[-] ag_roberston_author@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

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