I often come across ideas for new communities (sometimes I even have them myself), but I’m not always sure whether they would get traction.

How about a “suggest a community” community, where people can post suggestions, and get feedback on the idea, maybe tweak it a bit to be more useful, and also look for co-moderators?

It could act in parallel to !newcommunities@lemmy.world

Anyone have any ideas for how this could work better? Anyone want to co-moderate one?

    There’s more-or-less already an active community for that: !communitypromo@lemmy.ca

    From their description:

    Promote your favourite communities here, or ask about a community you are looking for

    A post titled like “Is there a community for TOPIC?” with text in the body indicating you’re interested in making one if not would likely do well there.
