When considering a new community on a small community like Beehaw, I think the key question to ask is not "what would people like to see", but rather, "who will create the content"?
If you're after a community like this because you have content you'd like to share, then I support it!
Not exactly active and not on Beehaw itself, but there is !horror@lemmy.ml.
For my own tastes, I am happy with media discussion and art and the like, but not so much with memes (seldom if ever do I actively want memes) or true crime etc
I would like this, I think. And I think it's a good candidate for being distinct from the entertainment category, on account of a lot of people presumably don't wouldn't want to see horror posts or associated imagery in the regular entertainment feed.
Edit: I agree with the person who said they're not so interested in memes or true crime. True crime content, in particular, would make the community a no-go for me. I enjoy fictional horror only, and seeing the true crime stuff there would just squick me out and make me feel weird about enjoying the fictional horror I do like. No shade to the people who do like true crime. I'd just rather it be separate from horror.
The point about horror content being so distinct is exactly why I felt like a separate community needed!
I included true crime and memes because, as Gaywallet said in another post, "small communities on the internet need to reach a level of activity to sustain [themselves]." I'm personally not into true crime, but put it out as a suggestion because of the thematic similarities
I would love an alternative for /r/horror so sign me up!
