five more new Beehaw communities!
five more new Beehaw communities!
a few of you have already noticed these and dutifully begun using them, but we have five new communities based on feedback, activity of existing communities, and our assessment of the utility of such a community.
here are our new five:
- Neurodivergence! a complement to our existing LGBTQ+ and Feminism communities; this one is for the various communities that fall under the neurodivergent label, and all content surrounding them. we didn't quite want to commit to a mental health type community, but we think we can handle something like this.
- Writing! a complement to our already-existing Creative and Literature sections, specifically for your long and short form writing, worldbuilding, and all things pertaining to improving the craft generally.
- Animals and Pets! i hope this one is self explanatory, lol.
- Food and Cooking! i hope this one is too.
- and Operating Systems. we do have a big tech crowd here, and a lot of people have an interest in this stuff. this was originally suggested as a Linux-specific community but we decided to expand its scope a little bit for practical reasons.
these are, as i'll always note, not our final communities! as we continue to grow we'll take into consideration what's already been suggested, any new suggestions you have, and whether existing sections of a community are large enough to be split off. (we already have one good suggestion i think i will inevitably be added.)
thank you for your continued support of the website, and hopefully some of you will get a lot of use out of these new communities.
You're viewing a single thread.
Could I suggest a Parenting community? It’s something that people often need support with and would like to talk and share their experience.. but of course lots of people are really uninterested in other peoples kids! So having it as community that people could choose to follow or not (is that the right terminology? I’m new here!) might be a good idea.
Oh very much this.
I only recently discovered r/askmenover30, r/dadadvice, r/Over30Reddit and r/daddit after having been subbed to r/internetparents and r/dadforaminute for a while. It’s probably the biggest hole in my heart being left behind, middle-age parenting and lifestyle/support.
Never has a username resonated with me as much as yours!
haha, thanks :D
It was my mood in that present moment when I was registering an account, but it's a simple life affirming truth.
Theres been a lot of nostalgic talk of the internet prior to its 'corporatisation' and you reminded me of a website that I used to love that is like their username:
I think it's certainly an interesting idea, I worry about bad advice or stories about abuse that might be hard to moderate though.
That’s a fair concern, but hopefully with the Beehaw “be kind” ethos we’ll see positive engagement. Plus really anyone can give bad advise or bad stories in any community, that’s not limited to parenting.
