Is there a community for discussing solutions to societal issues? - eviltoast

I’m not referring to r/politics (or equivalents). Rather a group that identifies potential problems (i.e widespread obesity) ; why it may be happening (i.e too much sugar in food) ; and potential ways society can fix this problem?

    I think it’s much more hyper focused communities here, health, mental health, etc. You can make a magazine for it.

      A magazine is a really interesting concept, I will keep that in mind.

      The problem with hyper-focused communities is that they tend to not focus on the general problems people face. This is not to say that it isn’t important, but it is harder to “connect the dots” or “get the big picture”.

          TIL, thanks for the heads up.

          I am still interested in the concept of cataloguing threads from really intelligent people - like Wikipedia for Lemmy. Have you ever seen an insanely helpful thread and been like “this needs to be archived”? I have at least a dozen times.

            You’re welcome, and yes I have. They reside as bookmarks because that’s the best I could do!
