Create a LEGO or BrickBuilding category
In the days of communities, BrickinNick and I pushed for Twitch to create a community for BrickBuilding. After some back and forth emails, we convinced Twitch that LEGO is a creative medium/form of expression and deserves to be recognized in the Creative category. Hooray!
Currently, tags have replaced communities. Tags created some discoverability but they are misused and often used by streamers playing unrelated games. A dedicated LEGO or BrickBuilding category would help users find more streamers building with LEGO bricks and similar construction kits.
LEGO is too broad of a hobby to lock into the makers and crafting category. From sets to people building their own creations, visiting conventions, designing their own parts, reviewing sets, and more!
If the title "BrickBuilding" is chosen as a more suitable name for the category, as it is already known for LEGO building on Twitch, we hope it would still be discovered when searching the term "LEGO" as well!
Thanks and happy building!

Same, more lego streamers should be born with a special category and community on twitch. Channels with the LEGO tag are not "making" LEGO ;

I support this idea. There are too many possibilities in the crafting category to find good brick streams and tags just aren't as stringent in their relevancy.

The brickbuilding community is absolutely amazing and rapidly growing. A lego category would be extremely helpful!

LEGO needs its own category on Twitch. Please.

It definitely would be advantageous to have a BrickBuilding Channel tag.

+1 to this. It's really hard to find LEGO building streams on Twitch.

Been searching for Lego streamers recently and have a hard time finding them. It seems like such a universal hobby that Lego should be its own category and not lumped in everything crafty. I hope they add this for the Lego streaming community!

A real LEGO Building category. I have seen more and more ppl building LEGO on stream and JustChatting and BrickBuilding don't seem correct.

I'm fairly new to the streaming game, and as I was doing stream research before going live I thought there weren't any other LEGO builders on Twitch because it was too hard for me, a noob, to find the right combination of category and hashtag to find the community.

I'm currently a LEGO streamer, and I have come across various streamers who stream building LEGO as well, but we don't have a category of our own to post up our streams in instead of Just Chatting and Makers & Crafters (I think it is). So I decided I would submit an idea for this, and maybe we lego content creators can have a category to stream in.

A separate category for Lego and model building like miniatures and Gunpla for example would help viewers more easily find channels that pertain to their interests.
