ive been thinking abt this for a while now: a comm for caffeinated drinks. im a big coffee drinker and rlly enjoy the process of brewing. this could be for tea too, and energy drinks ig. theres a lot of knowledge in brewing coffee (and im sure its the same for tea). im a bit of a novice, but i have a decent amount of experience to share involving espresso, cold brew, pour-overs, water hardness and temperature, grind size, bean selection, etc. we can also recommend each other gear. my first post would be talking abt my manual espresso machine that i highly recommend for quality espresso on a budget

as im already on the mod team, i could mod this comm, and im sure i could find other users passionate abt coffee or tea to deputize

what do you get out of having the specific space rather than posting in c/food? idk how other people use the site but i'm pretty sure all these micro coms makes me less likely to see posts.

if you browse by subscribed it does, if you browse by All it doesn't matter

i have never subscribed or unsubscribed from a com and have only blocked fakenews because the admins are cowards

idr what the default is especially for older accounts, but you can see whether you are browsing All (aka "Local" assuming you don't want to see lemmy.ml stuff) or only Subscribed on the homepage. If it is Subscribed and you'd rather not filter any hexbear posts out (besides blocked ones) just switch the default to Local in your user settings.

Since most people are browsing by All it doesn't matter too much how many micro comms we have

Is it possible to rename comms? i.e. c/food could be c/foodandbev

(I suspect it isn't?)
