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:

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.
try not to make your suggestions super specific, because we probably won't do super specific ones
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.
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!

A documentaries would be great

Windows OS

And/or

Mac OS

To match all the Linux communities?

The windows discussions on reddit were always really helpful.

Or maybe just Tech Support.

Or an even more general "Advice and Help" or "Troubleshooting" hive, for any kind of troubleshooting.

Anything witchcraft related, if possible.

A community about music production would be cool! I feel like the current music community is mostly about listening to music or making recommendations, it'd be cool to have one that's dedicated to production.

Running! The Reddit running community was helpful and very active and now they've shut down entirely

An equivalent for r/contagiouslaughter, and similar. That kind of humor specifically, or funny videos, vs the simpler meme and knock knock jokes kind that can crop up in jokes & humor?

[–] marauderprophecy1998@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Some community suggestions from Reddit that I loved to browse would be amazing if there are communities of them on here at Beehaw:

c/programming
c/programminghumor
c/learnmachinelearning
c/AIresearch - discussion of new and upcoming AI/ML papers
c/CScareerQuestions

Physical media? (For collectors of film, game vinyl, etc)

[–] Powderhorn@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Given how many posts about Reddit have not been on the threads set up for them, a Reddit-specific community to post in might be worth considering. Though I don't know for how long that'll remain an issue, and it could devolve into navel-gazing.

[–] editediting@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

We need more meme channels. What about c/ShittyFoodPorn?

[–] Lowbird@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

An equivalent of r/ifyoulikeblank (suggestions based on things you already like), and/or r/tipofmytongue (for trying to find things you've forgotten the name of)

[–] somethingfells@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Thank you for doing this! A few suggestions I haven't seen or couldn't find, at least, are below.

Spanish / Español
AskWomen / AskWomenOver30
Wilderness Backpacking
Medicine
Cooking

[–] geon@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Sorry if these have already been suggested... communities equivalent to: r/backpacking r/vagabond r/solotravel r/onebag r/heronebag...

*I understand /c/travel may cover some of these, though I do think onebag deserves its own community considering its minimalistic elements.
