Our little instance is closing to 6 months of operations and it occurs to me I never really asked for some open feedback from our peeps. So I wanted to start a discussion to see your concerns and comments in general. So tell me, in the context of the divisions by zero, what bothers you, what pleases you, what would you like to see improved.
Feel free to share your thoughts about anything.
i am not confident enough to create or mod communities, not even create a post, but i wonder if we could create a thread of ‘Community Organization Thread’ and:
- list already created and active sublemmies and make some kind of accessible and nicely formatted text index (maybe already made)
- make people post ideas for new communities in the comments
- let people react positively on them
- let users comment on the parent comments “it already exists, see this: [Lemmy sub link]”.
- if the community does not exist and the positive reactions are +100 or something, somebody could offer themselves to create the community and post the Lemmy link, suggest the best instance for it, add suggestions and ideas…
- if there is more than 1 community for the same idea, users can decide if working separately (bc of differences), merging, collaborating, etc.
this is because i feel like we are creating communities non stop with zero planification, and maybe it would be better to post content first, see how it goes, and then create the right communities. this is just a random idea, but i think that if we organize together, we can create content in a smarter way and make better use of resources.
pd: oof that pirate is very handsome hehe
