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.
is it possible that we could get here more niche subs like r/animesuggest or r/socialdemocracy? Or will the latter have to be discussed in general politics?
probably not on the first count, because the entire rest of lemmy does a good job for more granular stuff. on the second count: we're open to making more granular ideological communities but we'd want to hold off on making them until there's a clear community that wants it (or there's a good reason to split it off). our general political community isn't super active at this point, especially in the context of the rest of the site, so it's not like stuff is at the risk of being heavily buried without thought
Ah. It’s always possible to make communities on other instances and interact with them through beehaw though, right?
i don't know if you can make them from beehaw, but if they exist already yes definitely you can interact with them through here
