I am intrigued by this Hexbear design of yours, there is one really confusing thing about it however.

Why are there so many redundancies in the community section?

There seems to be a stern stance on content labeling policies and I don’t see any issues with that or have any complaints about it, because it’s very easy to understand and seems to serve a good cause or at the very least not harm anyone, but then why is the community structure here so laissez-faire and difficult to understand?

I’m deducing that the reason there are so many communities is because a subsection of a particular interest is not enjoyed by the general interest group and therefore they splinter, but would it not make more sense to remain intact and simply give users the ability to content label?

How I see it working in practical terms myself:

Let’s say I’d like to post my art, but my art fits a particular niche that many people don’t enjoy, so instead of moving me to a splinter cell, which can eventually create confusion or become so small nobody participates anymore de-facto driving people away, why not instead give me the ability to label my art posts within the art community and just hide them entirely from people who don’t want to see them?

The only label I see is the NSFW label, which has also lost it’s meaning and primarily seems to serve as a general CW blur button, but I am thinking this would be very difficult to implement what I’m asking for too? I’m not tech-savvy so idk what the people who run this website have to change in the code box, to make it have more expansive post labeling system.
