Thanks for the tag @solymi ;)
Hi @mirilarbarr. I know that the @naturalmedicine community touches on #mentalhealthawareness, #meditation and #inner-peace. Perhaps you could correlate with the leaders from there? There are people who use these tags and post there in that community.
@solymi because there is already a community that touches on these things I’m not sure if this would be picked up or not by the ocd team for the incubation program. We generally look for new niches (different kinds than the ones we already support) and communities that haven’t already been established.
However, there may be a need for this topic to have a home all by itself. Let’s see how this takes off and how many are interested.
I will submit your efforts for an upvote :)
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I saw natural medicine but it's an entirely different field so it didn't appeal to me. While it's got a bit in common in terms of a focus on wellbeing it's not actually a recognised mental health discipline so what you find there will be super variable in terms of relevance and reliability.
I guess I have made something I want rather than something to fill a niche. Might not work at all. But I do see many people making posts on these topics and maybe they are just waiting for a dedicated space to share them too. Though stigma can often stop people wanting to explicitly associate their content with mental health. Tis OK if it just evolves organically, I didn't even know there was an incubator project!
There's lots of places on Facebook and Twitter for the sharing of blogs but they are so capitalist and manipulated by algorithms whereas the decentralized nature of peakd appeals to my inner activist in the way the internet did in the 90s, before the advertisers caught wind of it and turned it into a huge replica of Aldous Huxley's worst nightmares.
I appreciate the upvote on this lil experiment.
Thanks for taking the time to explain why you created this community and what you are hoping for. I definitely understand better now. I think it's good you created what you wanted and I hope many others can benefit from it ;)
Sure, no problem at all. Take care ~
Thanks for having a look! I just try to help our new members as much as I can :)
