Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.

Thinking about making a community just for unfinished projects. Good idea, bad idea, would you participate, names? (lemmy.world)

I don't mean work in progress stuff. I mean a place of glory for the unshareable, the embarrassments, the failures, the projects you shelved years ago but won't restart or let go of entirely; preferably with a humorous meme twist or mascot. Am I the only one that would find this therapeutic and interesting? Ideas?

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)
