As general feedback I mostly like the less is more until posting volume on the more general categories you have gets too big. That said the feedback I have is as follows.
- First "World News" in the list above is the big missing thing.
- "Health" and "Legal" is pretty weak on the whole fediverse. There may be legal reasons for this but there you have it. I did sign up for https://beehaw.org/c/[email protected] .
- "Travel" is missing, and it is also not common on the fediverse either unless I missed something.
- "Fidiverse" is a common topic you see people asking about. Currently I guess this goes under "Chat" and "Support" now. Also I signed up for https://beehaw.org/c/[email protected] which seems nice. Maybe that is fine or maybe we should have this topic. I do not know.
The area that is a bit odd is the IT area. We have just "Operating Systems", "Free and Open Source Software" and "Programming". It is not clear where you'd ask anything else. For example:
- "Tech Support"
- "Hardware". Like Phones, Printers, you name it.
- "Networking and Telecom".
- "Privacy and Security".
I do not know what the topics should be, but the ones you have are strangely specific when the rest of the site uses nice general topics. Maybe there should be some quality thinking here.
For those that care, the two privacy and security communities I found were:
The other thing I would say is that we probably do not need to have every sort of community. That is the whole point of the Fediverse. So if there is a good Fediverse alternative why add it unless we have a very good reason. Might be good to have a guide of where to find the omitted communities too. Might be even better if Lemmy software itself had a "link" capability in "Communities" so every Lemmy site did not need to add every sort of Community.
Anyway my probably too long and detailed feedback. Generally I think less is more and let us all use the Fediverse where we can.
If you got this far thanks for humoring me. Also thank you all for this site, and for joining this site.
