these came a little earlier than anticipated—i was expecting them tomorrow—but based on the feedback in the thread we decided to quickly round these specific bases

City Life, for all things urban; urban planning; municipal; public transit; FuckCars; stuff like that. also a good place for automobile-posting in lieu of a more centralized alternative.
Jokes and Humor, which is pretty self-explanatory. please read the sidebar disclaimer, though
Literature, also very self-explanatory.
Nature and Gardening, our outdoorsy space in contrast to the more... climate change, public policy, and generally global Environment. all things nature, hiking, climbing, gardening, and things like that can be posted here.
and Programming, which has been split off from the rest of Tech. see also its cousin FOSS, if you weren't aware that one existed.

if your suggestion was not taken: i hopefully replied clarifying where it should go in the meantime, or it's just intuitive if i missed a comment. as i said to a few people in the thread, another round of community creations is somewhere down the road--and probably not far--so don't be too distressed!

thanks for using the website; hopefully this is my last big post of the day, lol. i'll be trying to check out after this since most of the past two days have been spent keeping the site orderly

I would have preferred if "literature" was called "books" instead, but nice to see such a community.

Personally, literature is probably a better name imo, as it's much more versatile and not limited to just books. This could include things, such as poetry and sharing tips & tricks on a variety of topics on the overarching subject of reading and writing.

That way smaller, niche communities with barely any following can be avoided and people with other interests, other than specifically books, have a community as well.
