dreamwidth is a great website, but as far as i know they don't allow fictional underaged stuff at all. with mitile being 15... if someone reported it... figamiti content could be taken down. 😭 unless it's non-romantic or sfw, i'm pretty sure.
Then just make a fgmt-only community! I don't think the rule would pose a problem if we make the community locked and moderate membership such that only literate people (people who are willing to read 500+ words of rules and comply to them) enters. FigaMiti fans are mostly adults or very nice people anyways. They won't ruin the creators who bring their favourite content.
As for the more risque contents, none of those will be hosted on dreamwidth, so the moderators won't have any ground to delete or ban anything. For example, fanarts are more likely to be posted on the artists' own social media (like twitter, poipiku or pixiv) and so the dreamwidth posts will just provide a link to the original hosting sites. Same goes with fanfics; I imagine writers will just upload those to AO3, then provide a link in their DW posts. Food & nui posts are most likely to be hosted on tumblr, twitter, mastodon or instagram.
Dreamwidth will be very good for a news site, I think. Like, if there's a translation that has figamiti on it, someone can cross-post it there. If there's a magazine content or 2.5D actors stuff that comments on FgMt, it can also be posted there too....
It can also be a place of discussion or friending. DON'T WE HAVE MANY OPINIONS ABOUT MS2???
The only issue I forsee would be a lack of activity. HONESTLY, all fgmt fans are like squirrels who run away at the slightest of tremor, so we're inherently afraid to say things publicly. This can lead to inactivity > dead community in no time at all. Plus, we're mostly working adults who'd rather stay in our lanes & do our own thing instead of modding and creating buzz lmao.
(I, for one, have no idea how to influence people. And despite my 3 years of efforts, the number of fgmt fanartist/writer on the eng side didn't increase at all. So I can't lead.... I don't have charisma nor do I know how to build & keep a community)
And to be honest? I don't believe there are more than 30 people in the entire mhyk eng fandom who likes FigaMiti! So it'll most likely be.... deathly quiet.... /laughs /sobs ( ; w ; )
