I often come across ideas for new communities (sometimes I even have them myself), but I’m not always sure whether they would get traction.
How about a “suggest a community” community, where people can post suggestions, and get feedback on the idea, maybe tweak it a bit to be more useful, and also look for co-moderators?
It could act in parallel to !newcommunities@lemmy.world
Anyone have any ideas for how this could work better? Anyone want to co-moderate one?

Have an idea for a community that doesn’t exist yet? Or a community that you WANT but don’t see on lemmy? This is the place to share it! Post your desired communities here and see if others share your interest. Whether it’s a niche hobby, a specific support group, or a unique discussion space, let us know what you re looking for. Help us build a diverse and inclusive network of forums by sharing your vision for new communities!
Yeah, that’s basically the idea. I have actually seen that before, now that you point it out, but I didn’t find it when searching, because “desired” is a kind of unusual word in this context (at least for me). I wonder if you could add “suggestions for new communities” or something like that to the title?
Also, do you expect the suggested communities be implemented on hilariouschaos.com, or are you up for them being hosted on any server?
Course! I’ll see if I can edit/ change the name.
!dlc@hilariouschaos.com are for community ideas for any instance, its not hilariouschaos.com specific.
If you’re interested in being a mod let me know. I wouldn’t mind handing it over.
I’m happy to help mod, if you like, sure :)
Nvm I found a comment you’ve already made and appointed you as a mod now. Have fun !
Ok awesome! Idk if you already have, but can you make a comment on a post in the desired Lemmy communities community so I can appoint you as mod ?
