Welp, this lemmy thing seems to be taking off a bit, so I wanted to open up a discussion on where you all think the community should go. I personally enjoy the freeform discussion / catch-all nature of the community for any and all car enthusiast-related things. Comms for specific models, subtypes of vehicle, etc can be their own thing alongside c/cars.

One idea I had was to have some theme days to drive posting & keep things consistent in the future. Some potential theme days:

  • Motor Mondays (post your engine bay/other performance mods)

  • Track Tuesdays (post photos of your car at the track)

  • Wheel Wednesdays (post your custom wheels)

If you have any other ideas/suggestions, shout 'em out in the comments. I hope this community will continue to grow as it has been over the last couple of weeks! As it continues to grow, I’ll be putting out a call for another mod or two to help with keeping the sub a welcoming/inclusive place for anyone who likes cars, so stay tuned for that too!

    How do you plan to deal with “how do I fix…” and “what car should I buy?” threads?

    Mostly asking because I ended up here as I might be buying a vehicle in the future. Not because I just simply love cars a lot. And my needs are waaay different than those of a general car enthusist with money to spend. Then I realized I’m probably not the only one who’s gonna pop up here with such questions.

    So I imagine you have to think of a way to deal with, heh, drive-by posters like me in the future. Maybe.

    Edit: I don’t actually need an answer to these questions. I’m just putting them here for you to ponder.

      We could do that as a periodic megathread. Or that specific topic could be spun off into its own community (I believe reddit had one for car buying specifically, too).
