What I am looking for specifically is, is there a community for like /ihadanidea? Like a shower thought but not, like a place where I can just go and post out into the void that I had a cool idea about something and it’s just free use for anyone to do with what they will, and then once corporate hears of it, they can make it half as real for twice the price? I feel like it’s too good of an idea, that someone must have already taken action on something like that? Does anyone know of a community already designed for questions of this type? And does such a community for random cool ideas already exist?

    Lemmy is not very big right now, and for lots of topics, there just aren’t enough users to sustain an active community. Making new communities is NOT a good way to stimulate such activity, as a general observation. Communities are successful if they start from a base of users that already exists, and their topic was already visible in existing communities. Like maybe a lot of news-related threads turn out to be about politics, so the politics community splits off. (I don’t know if that particular one happened that way, but it is a standard pattern).

      tbh i feel like, in mine own litntl romantic heart, that’s what would make it even better, so i guess that i just have a duty now then, i hate the burdens of creativity, but we do need it -_-
