As stated in our sidebar:
Although our initial goal was to provide a new platform for r/PoliticalCompassMemes, we welcome the expansion to various new topics and themes.
which is why we are finally opening this thread.
If you have any suggestions for a community that you would like to run on our instance this is the place to post them. While our Rule 0 (no illegal content) remains our golden policy, there are a couple more guidelines for you to follow.
Community creation guidelines
- Take out your own trash: if you propose the creation of a community you must either moderate it yourself or appoint a willing moderator when you submit your request.
- Don’t burn our bridges: while we value free speech, we also want to maintain a friendly and constructive atmosphere. Please refrain from posting any content that is deliberately hateful, as this could jeopardize our federation with other instances.
(as another comment, I need a !general at minimum to post something that doesn’t fit in existing communities?)
Yeah I agree on that. I’ve already seen two text posts in [email protected] that didn’t really have anything to do with PCM but of course the people there didn’t have another place to post them in.
How do you think such a #general community could look like? Something like [email protected] ? A strictly helpful [email protected]? Or pure chaos like [email protected] ?
I’m guessing more like main but it’s for mostly any post so possbily like the lemmy “pure chaos” one
Personally, a catchall community seems like a good idea to me too. It could always branch into more specific support/chat/shitpost/meta communities later on if the post volume indicates.
