So, I am once again asking you to subscribe. And if you think we need a community, ask for it in commrequest
Yeah you are right, that's where the word comes from.
A few years ago, I realized the word cupboard was cup board. It's a board you put cups on and that's what it's called that. My mind was blown.
lol there isn't a videos community, but there is an anime community. Smells like libweebs around here
how about just plants in general because i got a real inspiring alocasia story to post besides my giant cucumber vine
This is possibly a bad idea, but I am thinking: what if users weren't able to create their won communities here? It'd be an interesting aspect of the site, and set the site apart from reddit, which had power hungry mods, feuds between subreddits, toxic communities, etc. Those are all things that don't think is good for any community, especially one that wants to become a large space for the online left. We don't need infighting, we don't need people wasting time caring about drama between mods, and we absolutely don't need the toxic communities that exist on reddit - even leftist subreddits.
Something that sucked about reddit was that there was no real sense of community there unless it was a smaller subreddit. I think as this site grows and more people start posting, this site can keep feeling like a community by having a limited amount of places to post. It'll force people to talk to people outside of the types of bubbles and echo chambers that exist on reddit. I also think it'd be kind cool to have the limited sub-communities aspect because it's how old school message boards were. I bet some users here aren't old enough to remember what that was like and there isn't anywhere else on the internet that I can think of that has that 2000's phpbb message board vibe. It was fun and even when there were lots of users, it still felt tight knit.
Maybe this is your plan already, or maybe everyone will hate this idea. I don't know. I t'd make the site feel like a community rather than a just a "platform". I think this site can and should be more than just a reddit clone.
If anyone else thinks this could be a good idea let me know, i'm curious if there's something to this idea or if it's a bad suggestion that nobody wants in which case i will never mention it again.
It's worth adding that we could always switch to allowing anyone to create a community later, whereas if we allowed it now, there wouldn't be a good way to undo that change.
There's a healthy range of sizes for a community. One of the big problems I saw back in the phpbb era was that an overly enthusiastic admin would add more boards than their userbase could support, splitting what could be a couple active boards into a ton of inactive ones, and killing the community. But you also can't really have an effortpost and discussion based board with more than like... 50k users. CTH shifted more and more towards memes and reactions to events as it got larger, since those still work with loads of people.
The site as a whole will still have a culture. All the ways that huge subreddits start to feel the same as each other are bits of reddit's site-wide culture. And part of the reason that everyone cool at reddit is cloistered in sub-communities is because that site-wide culture is dogshit. The culture here looks good so far, with continued vigilance it won't grow into something people need to hide from.
this is correct, be sure to mention this again from time to time. Reddit feels too anonymous
Wtf why are these called communities?
COMMUNIties->COMMUNISM Does anyone else see this?? Smh can you stop making everything about politics and forcing this on us?
It's certainly not too late! Maybe make a post in there applying to be mod? .
Make sure to make c/football the default sub for association footbal when its time, pls 😙
I there any communities explicitly for dank memes? Like miscellaneous memes
You can subscribe over here. Just click all of them.
Then go populate with posts. If you’re reading this, go make a post.
I thought there would be commune titties here and now I’m disappointed.
