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!

    Definitely please make. Love zoning out watching the models being built

    This doesn't fit in "Just Chatting", nor in "Makers and Crafting". The community's awesome and growing <3

    The existing Brick Building category is for a game called Brick Building, not for LEGO or similar products.

    Can we get a seperate category for lego/ brick building there is a tag but there is not any one place for this type of content some is in arts and crafts, some is in just chatting, some is scattered into the millions of other categories would be nice to have one area to go to

    Yesssss! Give Brick builders a spot to call home!

    I would like to specifically see a "LEGO" category. A "brick building" tag is a good start but there are so many different brands of interlocking brick systems that filtering out the most common brand would be helpful. If you could specifically blacklist and whitelist any tag you could find "brick building" streams that are specifically "LEGO" and ones that are specifically not "LEGO". It would be a win win for everyone.

    This a brilliant idea. When I started out I wasn't sure where we, as Lego streamers, fit into twitch. Was it Just Chatting, Art or Makers & Crafting. And yes we have a tag but a category to make finding like minded people and grow our communities would be amazing!

    I would love to be able to find brick builders more easily! It's challenging to find similar content to some of my favorite streams, because there isn't a category for it. It would also help the community grow and help newer streams find their audiences - we're looking for them!

    Please do this. While the TAG helps, a category would make it easier, and faster to find new LEGO streams. I’ve seen LEGO streams in Art, Makers and Crafting, and Just Chatting categories. So if it’s already spanning 3 categories then why not give it its own category?

    This would not only help other AFOL (Adult Fan of Legos) fine other friends/creators but could help get more family friendly content on the platform
