Time for a better community name (lemm.ee)

Hello! I'm craftyindividual, surviving admin of the group.

I've been pondering for some time but would prefer a more appropriate name for the group (named in haste after a Reddit group) - open to suggestions and placing a poll. Art and Traditional Art are already taken.

So far I'm considering:

Art for the masses Art attack I can't believe it's not Art

Removing indexing from everything is an Antipattern:

by forcing everybody to choose between

CONTINUOUSLY SPAMMED ABOUT EVERYTHING, IN THE HOPES OF CATCHING THE TINY PERCENTAGE THEY CARE ABOUT, xor
blocking ALL notifications about new-items in a community

ISN'T TheRightAnswer(tm).

Lemmy & Reddit both got that wrong..

( all the gaming stuff should have been under r/Gaming & c/Gaming, e.g, so interested people could go there, & uninterested people could just mute that entire tree of communities )

I'm not caring how the formatting is done ( hyphens, dots, underscores, alternative-hairstyles, whatever ),

but some consistent means of identifying the nature, and the subset, of a community, would be welcome by many people, in the information-deluge world we inhabit.

Just a thought, please let consensus settle it, not some random autistic, eh?

That'll never work. Say for instance there was a fan fiction community for The Last of Us; is this a gaming community, a TV show community, or a literature community? Really it's all of the above, so you have to use a more awkward name to fit into one category that doesn't even fully describe the community.

No, if you want to categorise communities like that it shouldn't be done through the name. You'll need to build a separate tag or label system instead, allowing communities to properly identify with multiple tags.
