New Clan Suggestions

I totally get limiting the number of Clans until user counts go up. As they do, here’s a list of some communities you could consider adding:

  • Paranormal
  • Animal clans (Cats, Dogs, Pets, Cute)
  • Movies
  • TV
  • Music
  • Art
  • Books
  • Funny
  • Advice (like AskReddit)

It would also be worth it to consider something that could be unique and original to Spyke. Reddit introduced things like AMA, AITA, TIFU and cake days. Having something unique to Spyke might help differentiate it.

I'm looking at alternatives to migrate the r/exchristian community. I'm still laying the groundwork so I don't have a good idea of how many of the 122k users might migrate with us. But if that's an option here, please let me know.

That’s fair! Spyke could have a really great source of new users if it started offering spaces for communities looking to leave Reddit after all of their recent shenanigans.

I specifically recommended less controversial communities as it seems like Spyke might be risk adverse to communities likely to need more heavy moderation at this stage.

What I’ll miss most from Reddit are the ultra-specific subreddits for local communities (countries, cities, etc), specific video games and video game platforms, particular disabilities like autism/ADHD, and particular social groups like LGBT or political/anti-capitalist ones.

But I also realize we have to start somewhere and I don’t want to overburden the system with Clans prone to needing more moderation like that too until there is some kind of system for 3rd party moderators (if Spyke goes in that direction).
