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?

      Yeah, that’s basically the idea. I have actually seen that before, now that you point it out, but I didn’t find it when searching, because “desired” is a kind of unusual word in this context (at least for me). I wonder if you could add “suggestions for new communities” or something like that to the title?

      Also, do you expect the suggested communities be implemented on hilariouschaos.com, or are you up for them being hosted on any server?
