update: we have a pretty good idea of what we’ll add to start, probably tomorrow. i’m unpinning this post and beginning to reply to posts in here with specifics. thank you for your suggestions to this point
no promises on any specific additions from me or the other mods, but now is a good time to gauge this.[1] for reference, our current 18 non-support communities are:[2]
- Chat
- Creative
- Do It Yourself
- Entertainment
- Environment
- Feminism
- Finance
- Free and Open Source Software
- Gaming
- Humanities
- LGBTQ+
- Music
- News
- Politics
- Science
- Space
- Sports
- Technology
try to be a little broad in your suggestions–this is still a site of just 1,000 people, so it simply can’t be as granular as reddit–but it’s fine if your suggestion is a specific subset of an already existing community or overlaps with one. Space and FOSS are some obvious examples of already existing overlap, and those communities work fine.
and even if we don’t add a suggestion in the immediate term, knowing that there’s interest makes it easier to do so later ↩︎
these communities can always be found at this link (or under the “communities” button), if you weren’t aware ↩︎
Something for photography / general art would be nice
I agree! A community for sharing pictures (and similar) would be cool to see. Such a community would likely also encourage more OC.
Yeah, I’m really going to miss /r/earthporn and /r/itookapicture :(
Almost a year ago I created my own community for nature photos at !natur@feddit.de. But since it’s on a german instance with german headlines, it’s probably not that appealing for most users here.
for now, photography and general art stuff is basically covered by /c/creative, and i’ve edited the description to make that more apparent. if it becomes an overwhelming part of the community, that’s when we’ll break it out as its own community. (also see the memes consideration above; image hosting is expensive so ideally people would host their photograph offsite and link it here)
