I've been looking for a feature like this too. I found an interesting sub on another instance and I wanted to browse the rest of the communities but I couldn't figure out how.
My only suggestion is to be mindful of growing too fast. I would focus on more general interest communities at this point. Better to have a few highly active groups then hundreds of dead ones.
I never even considered this was a thing. I set a reminder for myself to check on this Monday morning. I'm unsure how much I can change but I can at least start a conversation. Thank you.
Thank you for this. There is a lot to process here so I'll likely have to read it a couple of times before it really sinks in.
The one thing that instantly resonates with me is the " I feel like my visible coworkers helped me a lot just by being there". The one bit of positive feedback I keep getting is when I tell people I have a husband people have directly told me having someone in leadership so openly and casually talk about that has made them feel seen.
Because of that I have made a little effort to talk about my husband a little bit more. Wear a pride pin, wear a pride tshirt, have a pride background on zoom. I'm convinced i'm being obnoxious, hence why the ask for help here.
I legit remember this on TV. It was really popular.
