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!

Would this include Gunpla and miniatures or is a category for them needed?

Hi all, we've got some great folks working behind the scenes to make more formal spaces for all types of communities on Twitch.
While we look at the potential for a category around this topic, we've set up a collection you can opt into with certain tags!
Collection: https://www.twitch.tv/directory/collection/legos-brickbuilders-streams
Using any of these tags will make you a part of it as you stream: LEGO, LEGOs, Brickbuilding, Brickbuilder

Given the number of brick builders on Twitch - this should be a separate area, please add a separate category

Yes please! The community is absolutely big enough to have it's own category. It will make the search within that category so much easier!

I think giving LEGO it's own category is very much needed.
