Will there be votes, based on what people want, or will it just be up the admins to create new communities on this instance?
for the time being our method will likely be taking suggestions every now and then on the site, and then refining the priority/order in which those communities are made based on observations of how often the topic comes up on site and how many people say they’ll use it. in this case that refining is taking place on our chat communities, but that’s mostly because:
they’re all broad enough ideas and will likely be added eventually;
and because people in the chats are diverse enough in background that we think they’re a good enough proxy for priority here. we don’t want to get super bogged down in process for making these
i don’t know if loosely polling it in our chats will really be a standard part of the process after this round of creations
