MODERATORS
If you go into your application settings on the settings app, you can tell it which domains to open. By default, it doesn't do that because it can't make a list of the instances, I think.
Could a POC community be a possibility? I don't know if there's the moderation capacity for it, but it would be nice to have dedicated space to talk about POC experiences specifically, similar to existing communities on Reddit and the race/ethnicity-based Guppe groups in the federated microblogging sphere.
I would say it would be cool to see a sub for MOBAs like LoL and DOTA but the mechanics and fundamentals of the two games are so entirely different that combining the two communities would be kind of a nightmare.
I'm looking to see more communities similar to /r/sffpc, /r/retrobattlestations, and other PC hardware build subreddits that I used to visit on Reddit. I'm not sure how something like that would fit into the current community set. How do new communities get created here?
This is a great start! Can we also get communities for Books?
already have that one:! it's [email protected]
Oh joy! Still learning my way around here, thanks.
Question - how do I comment/subscribe to communities on other instances? Do I have to log in with my fediverse handle, or is there some other way?
if you're on desktop, if all else fails it should be possible through at least one way, which is browsing through the All feed to get where you want to go. (federation makes it possible to browse other instances through the one you're registered on, and that's also how you're able interact with them if you're not registered on them)
Perfect, thanks!
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.
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.
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.
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
If possible, it would be nice to have a community dedicated to music production to separate it from /c/music.
Hi all, I know I'm not from Beehaw, but I do subscribe to a lot of your communities as I like your moderation.
Any chance of a World News community? The current News community is very US-centric, and it'd be nice to have a more international spot to put news.
Please put international news articles into news to encourage this kind of behavior. We don't want to split things at this point (although we may need to depending on user demographics) and we don't feel it's too active to miss world news being posted there
Well, gave it a shot. We'll see what happens :)
EDIT: Seems to be performing about average, comparing it to other posts on the community. Ok, point retracted. Just need more people putting stuff in from outside the US. Maybe I'm just still stuck in the Reddit "News means US news" mindset and need to break out of it.
Could we get Vegan please (Vegan Memes would be nice but not a deal breaker)?
Thank you! Especially for the neurodivergence one. :)

Neurodivergence is a great addition!
Can you do one for the enneagram please?
Could we get a Japan community? I know there’s an anime one but I wanted more of a general community for talking about culture/current events/tourism without anime stuff.
I like that you've made !operatingsystems however, there's vast differences between *nix, bsd, windows etc. beyond the obvious that may warrant separate communities, especially until flairs are added for filtering.
perhaps in the future but from talk in the discord the admins dont want too many comunities to avoid fragmentation if operating systems ever gets too big and there is a need to seperate it more then it will be done
The obvious and historically correct thing to do would be to rename it to UNIX then let every other OS fork from it, becoming their own thing! ;)
