So I guess I’m wondering if this community is intended to be about photography, as in the discussion of photography, or if it’s going to be like r/itookapicture was on Reddit. I absolutely don’t think that we need to replicate what they did on that other site, but those were two very different places with very different purposes. They’re both valuable, but I think that they’re valuable in different ways and it might be good to separate them from each other in some fashion.
I guess it should be for photography more serious than “i took a picture” but I’m not gatekeeping content right now, let’s just share images and build a community. Posts about photography, including photography blogs are welcome as long as you don’t spam. I’m open to community suggestions.
I think a lot of communities start out as a single group for a wide range of content related to a topic like photography, including gear talk, photos, industry news, howtos, etc… When they get to a certain size, discussions start getting lost in the flood of content and it makes sense to fork more specialized sub-communities.
Forking too early leads to a bunch of dead communities with a handful of posts.
