The goal of these posts is to identify community gaps that people want filled, but not to arbitrarily create communities to "fill those gaps". Instead put together teams that can/will work together to sustain their communities (many hands make light work).
To that end, I'm looking for anyone's input about potential communities (not necessarily to be created anytime soon). Some ideas about potential input (don't need to answer any or all the questions):
- Is there an inactive community you would like to subscribe and/or post to? (No pressure to try and revive it)
- Do you have an idea for a new community? (It would be helpful if you provide some detail about what the community would be focused on and what sort of posts it would contain)
- Do you have a suggested community name? (Not required, but if you have an idea, feel free to share)
- Do you have a suggested community instance/server? (Some servers have significantly different views on different topics)
- Are you willing to be a community mod? (Not to pressure you, just to provide support, if indicated)
A community building guide has been created. Check it out and let us know if you have any suggestions/additions/changes.
