Get the word out everyone!

why?

I subscribed but I think it might be welcome if its reconsidered and or Gems is used for a more specific sub-level of Surrealism content involving gems.

In terms of discoverabillity, I think the benefit of these type of Reddit-like forums is being able to search proper nouns that are larger subject areas and easily latch on to that.

I guess it's the classic "trying to make everyone happy, you end up making no one happy". I hope the new community doesn't disappoint.

❤️

No worries! Do what makes you happiest lol we appreciate your contributions :)

Honestly, I'm disappointed. By limiting to abstract/surreal stuff, this was filling a niche. Now that it's more general it's more generic.

I'll look at the content of the new community before deciding whether to subscribe or not, but it was an instant yes before.

I don't want to split this community. This is the first community I have ever moderated and I apologize if I disappointed people.

Hi! I understand your reasoning for the move/name change. Just wondering if this community is staying open or is it getting locked?

Changed to Gems of Internet Art

It is now Gems of Internet Art specifically.

Thank you, I appreciate it. I hope I didn't mess up, but I won't go back now.

I'm not sure I quite understand what's going on, but it doesn't matter.

Regardless of what it's called, thank you for giving us cool things to look at :)

If you dislike this change, I'd only ask you to give it a shot and the benefit of the doubt. Of course surreal content is still allowed. I just wanted to avoid further confusion about the name. The good thing about a more generic name is that we are more flexible to decide on rules and content. The most important part of a community is the people hanging out there anyways and you guys are great.

Thanks. 🫡

i didn't follow for gems, i followed for surrealism... is there another surrealism community? i can't find one but maybe it's a federation issue?

Alright, good luck fighting the influx of people who think it's YoutubeClassics or /r/Funny.

That is on purpose. I have gotten multiple complaints that the content here isn't surrealism. I am going to keep posting the content I have here, so nothing will change in that regard.

Edit: It is now Gems of Internet Art

That's... wildly different and much more generic?

This was an ad and restaurant right out of night vale

It is actually 🙂👍

I don't feel strongly one way or another... Helpful I'm sure!

I think, it's a good change, and new name sounds better. Thanks for posting 👍

I am going to sleep now. See you tomorrow.
