Cannabis is not exceptional. It is a drug like any other.
But I agree! The people want their drugposting. Myself included. It'll come.
There is obviously a lot of support for it, and I'm sure the site heads will make these comms when there's that right balance between demand and legal certainty. There are a lot of people who want a lot of comms, but everyone seems to be sticking to main, so we're trying to go slow and steady 👍
Meantime, cannabis posts are welcome in !gardening
So cannabis conversation is allowed on the site, but no c/cannabis because ... reasons?
And what about regional communities like c/LatAm? What about a positive masc space like @xN0VAx has been requesting for weeks? Seems like whoever runs this site is only interested in promoting the communities they want. It's disappointing that Reddit is a better place to find a positive masc space than ChapoChat.
I'm pretty sure I was actually the first person to post a c/menslib-style community, like right when the site opened. We're going slow with the comm creation because people aren't using them (have a look at the communities page and see where the posts are going).
The last two comms made were c/europe and c/sports. Those were massively-requested communities compared to c/drugs and c/menslib which, again, I really want both of them. I have also been advocating strongly for a c/mentalhealth, but we don't have the support or the moderators for it yet. It's a slow, complex process and we all have to be patient on our way to getting what we want. Someday, when the site is big and stable, community creation will be opened up altogether. We're just not at that point yet.
I don't make these decisions, I'm just attempting to explain the situation to you.
I think exclusively looking at post/comment quantity is a bad way to judge the usefulness of a community. I use c/sports, at least once a day since I joined the site, to find streaming links, just for one example.
It's clearly something folks around here want.
