update: we have a pretty good idea of what we'll add to start, probably tomorrow. i'm unpinning this post and beginning to reply to posts in here with specifics. thank you for your suggestions to this point

no promises on any specific additions from me or the other mods, but now is a good time to gauge this.[^1] for reference, our current 18 non-support communities are:[^2]

  • Chat
  • Creative
  • Do It Yourself
  • Entertainment
  • Environment
  • Feminism
  • Finance
  • Free and Open Source Software
  • Gaming
  • Humanities
  • LGBTQ+
  • Music
  • News
  • Politics
  • Science
  • Space
  • Sports
  • Technology

try to be a little broad in your suggestions--this is still a site of just 1,000 people, so it simply can't be as granular as reddit--but it's fine if your suggestion is a specific subset of an already existing community or overlaps with one. Space and FOSS are some obvious examples of already existing overlap, and those communities work fine.

[^1]: and even if we don't add a suggestion in the immediate term, knowing that there's interest makes it easier to do so later [^2]: these communities can always be found at this link (or under the "communities" button), if you weren't aware

I'd love to see something automotive related. r/cars on Reddit has nearly 5 million subs and its a great sub for automotive news, reviews, etc.

i know cars aren't strictly city living, but tomorrow (or in the very near future) we'll have a "city living" community that will hopefully be a suitable fit for this until it can be completely spun off into its own thing. right now cars are definitely a bit balkanized between a few areas of the site (tech, humanities, news, etc.)

Hey, thanks! "City living" will be good enough for now.

it is done (and people are already posting)! City Life
