Well, look at you being such a wonderful host! First, you go ahead and nudge me into starting a thread, and then you start recruiting participants from all over Reddit. You’re even out here supporting us and the mods!👍 Thanks, really, thanks.

If only the higher-ups at corporate actually took a page out of your book, maybe we wouldn't be struggling so much.👋

I mean, could we at least get a single response on this topic? Maybe an acknowledgment that our request was received? A formal critique? Or just a straight-up rejection?😳 🤔 🤷 😱

I can't help but feel a little neglected here... which, okay, might be a bit much of me to say, but honestly...😢...it feels like every single day, in every possible way, we're just spinning our wheels and staying stuck in the same spot.😢 😢 😬

I mean, I shouldn't seriously have to constantly tap you on the shoulder—or wherever else you like being poked—just so you don't end up feeling neglected, right?
😁
Let's just see how this thread performs first and get a sense of what other topics might actually be worth our time before we make any big calls.
The whole idea of opening up an entire sub-Reddit before even checking if there's actual interest in the subject feels a bit backwards to me, if I'm being honest.

Honestly, you're talking to me like I actually know who’s responsible for greenlighting the launch of a brand-new subreddit!
But I really don't have a clue. And just to show you what I mean: 🤷
As far as my best guess goes, it could be anyone from a moderator to the site owner. To be perfectly honest, I haven't even figured out how new subreddits even get created—I tried searching for some concrete answers online, but nothing really popped up... so you can see I'm totally lost here, I was just hoping someone might give me some pointers! 😵
I even reached out to Lisa Hernandez3 to see if she was giving advice as an admin or just as a regular user.

I had absolutely no idea that your posts were basically acting as the official word on the new thread; I honestly thought when you were asking us in that ochre-colored section, you were just checking if the topic made sense as a moderator over on Reddit.
Actually, maybe you should just lock this thread since we're clearly just rambling nonsense in the comments.

Well, everything is crystal clear now, which apparently means we all need to start playing favorites to get things done! 👋 Fine then, at least there are a few of you around. 😬
So, if I'm going to get started right away 🥳: feel free to give me a pat on the back whenever you feel like it! 😬

Honestly, I’m just sitting here scratching my head trying to figure out what actually works or where this could even go, but I'll be real with you—I'm coming up empty
Luckily, the weight of the decision isn't solely on my shoulders, but the whole concept hinges on capturing a specific vibe regarding who is involved and what we're actually talking about here.
The idea itself sounds pretty interesting on paper, but I just don't see any concrete metrics or enough activity to justify launching a brand-new subreddit and expecting people to actually show up and hang out there.
Everything we've managed to pull off so far has basically been a "catch-all" situation—just one big bucket for everything under the sun.

But honestly, even what we have right now sounds pretty good to me! I was really just curious to see if there was actually any potential for this to work out.

but I don't see any specific size or scale where we could actually launch a new subreddit and expect people to actually show up and hang out here
everything we've done so far has basically been just "general discussion" or "talk about everything."

I mean, those gender-specific subreddits aren't designed all that differently, right? Plus, they aren't exactly "for everyone" either. And I definitely wouldn't want to use those messy debate threads as a comparison—that would be setting the bar way too low for us!

I suppose I should probably come up with some more unique content or specific niches to offer. For those of you who are on board with this, does anyone have any helpful suggestions? Quiz?

Since you guys are busy reorganizing everything on Reddit anyway, why not take this perfect opportunity to launch a brand-new sub-section?😁
I’d love to have a dedicated space to write.😠
And honestly, I bet there are plenty of others who feel the same way.😁
Come on, give us something new to look forward to—we’re all just sitting here waiting like we're waiting for Godot!

I feel a little bit like I’ve wandered out of one of those old blues songs...
...trying to describe something beautiful to someone who can't see it,
and singing all my deepest truths to someone who can't hear them at all....
