[META] Can we have a different community for creatures, and have this one just for objects? (mtgzone.com)

I love this kind of community in theory, because I love learning about how things work, but I don't love the posts asking for creature identification. Those are less how things work and more "I need an expert on this geologic region's fauna" so they seem like completely different topics to me.

I don't want to see spiders in my feed, but I'm happy to see curious objects. If I block the community due to the spiders, I miss out on the curious objects.

It would be better to just call the community "What is this Noun?" because it's not like Lemmy is super big enough to warrant splitting similar things apart.
