I doubt you’ll ever get around to finishing it.

You should call it /UnfinishedProje

I started a community like that, but never got around to finishing setting it all up...

Call it /ADHDiY

Number 1 of my ~200 unfinished projects. I could spam the shit out of your new community! Also I vote for the name c/UnfinishedProje

That would be cool! One thing I've noticed was that we have a lot of small hobby / making communities that are hard to find and grow. It would be cool to have some general communities for that.

I was thinking of making something like !showFediverse, for when you want to show off something you made. Whether it's a FOSS project, a little home DIY thing, or a pile of mashed potatoes.

Would be nice to have a similar community for things that didn't go as well. It might motivate people to try more things, since only seeing "successes" hides the full picture.

If you're looking for a name, dontlookFediverse could be a nice parallel. Doesn't matter what you go with, I'm happy to link to it (unless my community ends up in the unfinished bin too)

I could post about a few. I'd be mostly worried someone might decide to finish what I started, but like I didn't finish it anyway.

I don't know that I could come up with enough to really contribute to a community, but just because this post made me think of it:

“Polehenge” was a Michigan roadside curiosity located north of St. Johns along US-127. It consisted of over 30 poles standing in a field, reminiscent of the famous Stonehenge, but with wooden poles instead of stone monoliths. I used to drive past it multiple times per summer.

No one really knew what it was or why it was there. The most common story is that Polehenge was the remains of an unfinished pole barn, possibly abandoned due to the swampy land or issues with building permits. It wasn't near any other structures, so it seemed like an odd place for a barn to me, but I'm no farmer.

After standing for decades, in 2020, Polehenge was finally torn down, ending its legend forever.

I will get to it

On a hopeful line of thought, I think it could help remind people that they may have unfinished projects that could be picked back up. *-*

I'd fill it to the brim.

Yes, I'd participate, whenever everyone is ready.

Just go halfway with it and give up. Fully commit by not committing.

I'd participate in such a thing

Isn't there already [email protected] ? Could probably be used for what you want to do, and would benefit from already having 2k subscribers

You could also post those here, they would fit this community too and benefit from the existing userbase

Is a bad idea.
