What if....
What if....Users had their own "galaxy" on their profile page, where people (and yourself) can visit it and submit questions and other things π€ Β It would be like a personal community, but not a community at the same time.
I made a mockup (too much freetime), which is below π





Very cool! I think if people start using this we can get really creative.
hmm... Yeah, I feel like personal level connections aren't super easy right now on the site. Maybe having some sort of direct contact like this is what imzy needs right now. Imzy is great for those who feel comfortable organizing big projects and such, but something that I think might be lacking is the one-on-one friendship aspect that some people find more engaging.
I second this five gazillion percent. I love the communities, but there are specific people on here I'd love to follow and private message... but I can't do that without moving to a different platform. I'd like to never have to move to a different platform.
I think we just reinvented the Facebook wall.
@Dan and I did this weird thing, we talked using our voices, not our keyboards, with regards to the other thread.
The more I think about it, I think personal communities are a different type of community, and opt in. I'm not sure I want to create one for every profile/account, as some people have no interest in that type of participation.
I don't really want to make my own personal community, but I would like to post stuff occasionally to something like a "galaxy" instead of the communities I'm in. If people could "follow" you and see the stuff you post there in their feed that would make it really cool and in my opinion would be better than an entire community just to share some personal opinions/ideas. Cool concept!
Yup, I agree with this. I keep running across links/thoughts I want to share with friends, but there's not a community for them and I'm not going to make an entire community just so I can share one item I found interesting. I like the idea of everyone having a... well, a sort of personal, "miscellaneous" community, where they can share stuff that doesn't fit elsewhere as well as personal updates/posts.
Sounds like a great idea!
I like it!
