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!
There are discussions about boardgames and TTRPGs in Gaming, even if that community is mainly focused on videogames
True, but it is drowned out by video games overall, and theres a significant chunk of the population who loves Tabletop games and couldn’t give a care about video games. The two hobbies are separate everywhere else, would be nice to have a dedicated space here
And I agree with you. I’m one of those playing solo boardgames and RPGs to avoid more screen time
