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!

    The redditlist seems to be offline - taking part in the protest, I guess. So, looking at a recent archived version, we could always make sure we’ve duplicated the biggest subs, for a start. WorldNews definitely fits that bill.

    Looking at what had the most subscribers in 2014 it doesn’t look like things have changed much - gaming, news, funny, videos, science. News for nerds. Most all of those have been covered here, but I think it would be prudent to cover all the bases.

    Also, are we going to have local communities? Jeez, “communities” is a lot of typing. Subs is 5 characters. Local “comms”? Sounds like a Hawkwind song…
