update: we're compiling them now, new suggestions have about 4 hours to come in before i call it and lock the thread. thank you for all of your suggestions

following the defederations and given the inconvenience, it's time for a new round of community solicitations so we can add possible ones to our survey!

to make this easier for us, please follow a few groundrules here:

make your suggestions top level comments. do not reply to people with suggestions! they'll probably get lost and i won't get paged if you make them.
try not to make your suggestions super specific, because we probably won't do super specific ones
try not to duplicate a suggestion once it's already made (i know lemmy's display isn't great for this). while imperfect, if you like an idea please upvote it instead.
this is not intended to be a general discussion thread, so please try to keep that to a minimum. i will prune comments as needed if i think they're cramping the utility of this thread

additionally, we've already been suggested the following and those will be on the survey. i will prune any suggestion which is a duplicate of/is covered by one of these:

anime and manga
world news
tabletop gaming
vegan/vegetarian
education
parenting
camping
fitness

and for responsibility reasons we can't really offer mental-health related communities past [email protected], so please don't suggest those. thanks folks!

Here's one I just ran into - If I make a community on another instance and want to share it here, how to I make sure the link takes people to that community? I've run into this, but another user pointed out that nothing shows until the users instance already knows about the community (link example: https://beehaw.org/c/support, and comparison example: https://reddthat.com/c/songcovers). The first link should send people here, while the second probably results in a 404 for most people atm. So the suggestion is...figure out a way to not make that happen? IDK if that's a thing or not. Sorry if this is bad.
