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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

    Thanks for the idea, however I’m not sure of how I feel about that. If any of those topics particularly interests you, then sure, we can open some of them. But I wouldn’t rush opening a community for every topic on Earth, just for them to remain empty and forgotten. After all, there’s plenty of general purpose instances we are federated with, out there.

    And more importantly, the reason why I said “you most mod it yourself or know someone that would” is because I don’t want to spend my days as a janny (and of course we can’t have modless communities either), so that’s still a pretty important point to cover imo.

      they do all interest me as I like a variety of things and I could mod some (there aren’t too many reports that really come in) although they may remain a bit empty, I’d have no guarantee of that
