What would you like to see if there was a general !showFediverse community? (lemmy.ca)

There are various communities for hobbies and projects, but each one is small and difficult to grow. I was thinking of making a general "show everyone what you made" community. It could include

coding / FOSS projects
DIY projects
artwork / knitting / woodworking

Anything really :)

I want to set it up in a way that encourages growth to the smaller communities for the smaller communities that the project relates to. Aside from encouraging people to comment links, is there anything else we could do?

Also does this community sound like something we could use in the first place?

For sure! I'd prefer to have the scope as wide as reasonable. Anything that a person had a hand in making/doing/creating.

Maybe something like this (but written nicely)

Rules

Should be something you were involved with, or can speak about
Title should explain what the post is about

Recommended:

Brief explanation of what it is, how you made it, and why you are proud of it
Crosspost from other communities that are more specific for your project

Then the sidebar could have a growing list of such communities
