I like the premise of this community and I believe it is a good remedy to US defaultism.
It bugs me in the Internet whenever someone is not from the US has to introduce “a thing” in their culture with a thin veil of shame. We never see Americans having to “explain” what Halloween or Thanksgiving is, even when they are knowingly facing a global audience.
So, very well done for starting this, and I would like to just contribute some brainstormed ideas.
A community like this could host long form ‘specials’ such as (an example) “Introduce others to a niche topic of your culture.”
Now what could that be:
- That could be a band/genre
- Some TV show with a cult following
- An influential pop culture figure that keeps off the spotlight
- A type of slang unique to your culture
- A set of weird or memorable customs
Additionally, people could contribute things like subtitles or translations, so others can discover media from each other’s countries that would never be available through mainstream streaming.
