update: we have a pretty good idea of what we'll add to start, probably tomorrow. i'm unpinning this post and beginning to reply to posts in here with specifics. thank you for your suggestions to this point

no promises on any specific additions from me or the other mods, but now is a good time to gauge this.[^1] for reference, our current 18 non-support communities are:[^2]

Chat
Creative
Do It Yourself
Entertainment
Environment
Feminism
Finance
Free and Open Source Software
Gaming
Humanities
LGBTQ+
Music
News
Politics
Science
Space
Sports
Technology

try to be a little broad in your suggestions--this is still a site of just 1,000 people, so it simply can't be as granular as reddit--but it's fine if your suggestion is a specific subset of an already existing community or overlaps with one. Space and FOSS are some obvious examples of already existing overlap, and those communities work fine.

[^1]: and even if we don't add a suggestion in the immediate term, knowing that there's interest makes it easier to do so later [^2]: these communities can always be found at this link (or under the "communities" button), if you weren't aware

Economics/Finance! Always important to hear about the money and how to spend or save it!

I'm not sure if it's a possibility for this instance.i haven't been able to parse whether it's a yay or nay in general. Moderating it would be tricky. But what about something of an nsfw persuasion?

Self improvement based communities. Not something like /r/getmotivated where it's inspirational quotes and news that's actually depressing, but things like fitness communities (/r/EOOD for an example of a chill community, /r/xxfitness for a larger community) would be nice.

porn. specifically hentai please. mayhaps with a smidgen of monstergirl flavouring? (:

What about Explain Like I'm Five? That was a pretty cool sub, so it should be a pretty cool community on Lemmy and beehaw.org.

I forgot to add that I'd love to see something for libraries/librarians, etc.
