A place for fandom comm leaders to meet and get help.
I have an IDEA! For single-fandom comms
This could get tricky, and obviously requires some input and coordination, but:
there's been chit-chat about neighborhoods and those precious slots, etc., so, understandably, panfandom mods prefer to neighbor with other panfandom comms, and this makes a crazy good amount of sense. But that, of course, leaves a several single-fandom comms left in the dust, even if there's a good following in the general internets.
So what if someone created some basic general comms specifically to neighbor and promote/rec single-fandom comms? I guess this depends on a few factors; such as whether there are plans by the /imzy team to expand neighborhoods, whether or not you can rotate neighbors, and other things. I'm imagining that it/they would be a restricted-contributor comm, solely for the purpose of reccing others, so on so forth. Could just be a temporary solution until the official launch next month.
I know a few comms kind of do this already with rec lists and such but the idea is that these would be dedicated solely to driving traffic to single-fandoms and helping with visibility.
Ideas/thoughts? It might be too complicated, or it might just be simple enough to work ::shrug::




I thought about small fandom comms and medium-based comms. Mostly, I don't have time/slots left.
Same...time is a big thing for me. Many hands make light work and all
So, I'll break down and ask: what even are neighborhoods? I requested to join some when I set up my niche single-fandom comm. I never got a notification about acceptance or not. I can't find where to find neighborhood connections on my comm or others. It's not in the FAQ.
Do they just drive what comm recommendations I get?
Check the "About" section of any comm and you'll see who they have designated as neighbors.
Cool, thanks. I wonder how much they drive visibility. Hrm.
