MODERATORS
 

a few of you have already noticed these and dutifully begun using them, but we have five new communities based on feedback, activity of existing communities, and our assessment of the utility of such a community.

here are our new five:

  • Neurodivergence! a complement to our existing LGBTQ+ and Feminism communities; this one is for the various communities that fall under the neurodivergent label, and all content surrounding them. we didn't quite want to commit to a mental health type community, but we think we can handle something like this.
  • Writing! a complement to our already-existing Creative and Literature sections, specifically for your long and short form writing, worldbuilding, and all things pertaining to improving the craft generally.
  • Animals and Pets! i hope this one is self explanatory, lol.
  • Food and Cooking! i hope this one is too.
  • and Operating Systems. we do have a big tech crowd here, and a lot of people have an interest in this stuff. this was originally suggested as a Linux-specific community but we decided to expand its scope a little bit for practical reasons.

these are, as i'll always note, not our final communities! as we continue to grow we'll take into consideration what's already been suggested, any new suggestions you have, and whether existing sections of a community are large enough to be split off. (we already have one good suggestion i think i will inevitably be added.)

thank you for your continued support of the website, and hopefully some of you will get a lot of use out of these new communities.

This is a great start! Can we also get communities for Books?

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?

[–] alyaza@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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)
