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.

  1. 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 ↩︎

  2. these communities can always be found at this link (or under the “communities” button), if you weren’t aware ↩︎

        Something similar to the current function of places like r/books. A place discuss books you’re reading or want to read, run reading challenges like r/fantasy’s Book BINGO, get/give recommendations, authors can post about new releases, etc
