Maker Community
Maker Community
I don't know if there is enough interest, but is it possible to get a maker community created? Some things like 3d printing don't always quite fit into DIY or Creative.
You're viewing a single thread.
There's !makerstuff@lemmy.world with 400 subscribers, and not much action. But if you start adding more posts, maybe others will too.
Beehaw is defederated with Lemmy.world, so that is not an option
Oh, bummer.
Most of us here want to remain defederated with them, so NBD
I am new on Beehaw I forgot we were defederated with lemmy.world. Probably due to the size of lemmy.world making it harder to moderate I am guessing.
That and their wide open sign ups leading to a lot of people just being terrible.
Yeah a large instance with open sign ups would be a lot harder to moderate. I have not been on .world for a while though from memory it was mostly fine with the occasional troublemaker. Though most of the bad actors were coming from the fascist instances like Lemmygrad, .ml, hexbear etc. Though we are defederated from them as well which is nice not having to put up with them.
I understand, and it's a great thing that we all can decide our experience. About the maker community, I guess the other option is to just create it and see what happens. If beehaw is defederated with many other instances, it would limit potential spread (again, this might be a desired outcome), but maybe it would fit in here: https://discuss.tchncs.de/communities or a similar instance?
I would be interested in a maker community, right now I'm subscribed to various niche ones like lasercutting, microcontroller, etc.Beehaw admins have to make communities here, which is partly why I posted here. Also partly to gauge interest. And yeah, I don't think there are enough users for a bunch of niche communities, but one maker community that covers them all might work
