Could I suggest a Parenting community? It’s something that people often need support with and would like to talk and share their experience.. but of course lots of people are really uninterested in other peoples kids! So having it as community that people could choose to follow or not (is that the right terminology? I’m new here!) might be a good idea.

Oh very much this.
I only recently discovered r/askmenover30, r/dadadvice, r/Over30Reddit and r/daddit after having been subbed to r/internetparents and r/dadforaminute for a while. It’s probably the biggest hole in my heart being left behind, middle-age parenting and lifestyle/support.
Never has a username resonated with me as much as yours!
haha, thanks :D
It was my mood in that present moment when I was registering an account, but it's a simple life affirming truth.
Theres been a lot of nostalgic talk of the internet prior to its 'corporatisation' and you reminded me of a website that I used to love that is like their username:
I think it's certainly an interesting idea, I worry about bad advice or stories about abuse that might be hard to moderate though.
That’s a fair concern, but hopefully with the Beehaw “be kind” ethos we’ll see positive engagement. Plus really anyone can give bad advise or bad stories in any community, that’s not limited to parenting.
Just joined, excited to see the cooking community!
Neurodivergence is a great addition!
Seriously! Thank goodness for that one.
A couple days ago I looked up the one "adhd" community that existed (lemmy.ml iirc?) aaaaaand it was just full of bullshit adhd-deniers/anti-adhd medication rants instead of adhd people. >.<
I like that you've made !operatingsystems however, there's vast differences between *nix, bsd, windows etc. beyond the obvious that may warrant separate communities, especially until flairs are added for filtering.
perhaps in the future but from talk in the discord the admins dont want too many comunities to avoid fragmentation if operating systems ever gets too big and there is a need to seperate it more then it will be done
Makes sense!
The obvious and historically correct thing to do would be to rename it to UNIX then let every other OS fork from it, becoming their own thing! ;)
I agree with this. I'd like to see a Linux (and similar) community, but I have no interest in Windows so I'll probably avoid a generic OS community.
Isn't there already a big Linux community on lemmy.ml? Or do we want a specific beehaw community for that?
All of these are great additions, thank you!
Hi all, I know I'm not from Beehaw, but I do subscribe to a lot of your communities as I like your moderation.
Any chance of a World News community? The current News community is very US-centric, and it'd be nice to have a more international spot to put news.
Please put international news articles into news to encourage this kind of behavior. We don't want to split things at this point (although we may need to depending on user demographics) and we don't feel it's too active to miss world news being posted there
Well, gave it a shot. We'll see what happens :)
EDIT: Seems to be performing about average, comparing it to other posts on the community. Ok, point retracted. Just need more people putting stuff in from outside the US. Maybe I'm just still stuck in the Reddit "News means US news" mindset and need to break out of it.
Could we get Vegan please (Vegan Memes would be nice but not a deal breaker)?
Things of that nature can go into /c/food.
I would also appreciate a vegan/vegetarian specific community (I'm fine if those two are combined though), because a) I dislike seeing photo after photo and recipe after recipe about meat in my feed, and while I would like discussing vegetarian and vegan recipes I don't want it enough to put up with wading through meat discussions, and for people who are actively in the process of trying to give up meat they maybe wouldn't want to be constantly reminded of it, and b) posts about animal rights have a tendency to go poorly in general food forums full of meat eaters who take our food choices as a personal attack on them or as "I'm better than you" posturing, and that gets exhausting quickly.
Maybe the latter point could end up not being an issue here, I suppose, if the community here deals with this better than reddit, but I'm wary for now at least and personally probably wouldn't risk posting.
Anyway, I'm excited to see all the new communities that have been added so far!
There's a vegan community on lemmy.ml, I'll try and update this post with the link when I figure that out on mobile
Edit- !vegan@lemmy.ml
Put that in search and you can subscribe!
!vegan@lemmy.ml there's a direct link :)
I put up a PSA up about this in the Lemmy community, but this is how you link instance agnostically:
[Text](/c/vegan@lemmy.ml)
Oh, nice!

Thank you! Especially for the neurodivergence one. :)
Awesome! Thanks!
I'm enjoying the chats in !Neurodivergence already :)
Could a POC community be a possibility? I don't know if there's the moderation capacity for it, but it would be nice to have dedicated space to talk about POC experiences specifically, similar to existing communities on Reddit and the race/ethnicity-based Guppe groups in the federated microblogging sphere.
Why doesn Jerboa understand how to open these links? They all open in a browser ☹️.
If you go into your application settings on the settings app, you can tell it which domains to open. By default, it doesn't do that because it can't make a list of the instances, I think.
If possible, it would be nice to have a community dedicated to music production to separate it from /c/music.
I'm looking to see more communities similar to /r/sffpc, /r/retrobattlestations, and other PC hardware build subreddits that I used to visit on Reddit. I'm not sure how something like that would fit into the current community set. How do new communities get created here?
I would say it would be cool to see a sub for MOBAs like LoL and DOTA but the mechanics and fundamentals of the two games are so entirely different that combining the two communities would be kind of a nightmare.
This is a great start! Can we also get communities for Books?
already have that one!: it's !literature@beehaw.org
Oh joy! Still learning my way around here, thanks.
Question - how do I comment/subscribe to communities on other instances? Do I have to log in with my fediverse handle, or is there some other way?
if you're on desktop, if all else fails it should be possible through at least one way, which is browsing through the All feed to get where you want to go. (federation makes it possible to browse other instances through the one you're registered on, and that's also how you're able interact with them if you're not registered on them)
Perfect, thanks!
Thank you!
is it possible that we could get here more niche subs like r/animesuggest or r/socialdemocracy? Or will the latter have to be discussed in general politics?
probably not on the first count, because the entire rest of lemmy does a good job for more granular stuff. on the second count: we're open to making more granular ideological communities but we'd want to hold off on making them until there's a clear community that wants it (or there's a good reason to split it off). our general political community isn't super active at this point, especially in the context of the rest of the site, so it's not like stuff is at the risk of being heavily buried without thought
Ah. It’s always possible to make communities on other instances and interact with them through beehaw though, right?
i don't know if you can make them from beehaw, but if they exist already yes definitely you can interact with them through here
Could we get a Japan community? I know there’s an anime one but I wanted more of a general community for talking about culture/current events/tourism without anime stuff.
