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!

    They need to do this now. Even though TWITCH has been around for a while, I believe it's going to become one of the biggest social media platforms taking a lot of viewers from YouTube.

    This not being a category has kept me from finding other Lego builders and made me hesitate to start streaming it as well.

    Please make this a thing!

    It would be great since browsing for lego is quite a bit hard in the arts and crafts category

    I'd like to see this get picked up. Having a dedicated category for LEGO would be wonderful for the community.

    This idea is desperately needed. Twitch really should pay attention to folks like the Brick Builders, the Creative Writers and so on.

    Please do this. So many amazing streamers already exist in this category!!

    You’ll do italics in chat that no one asked for. Give us a real category!

    With more than 2 million Lego builders around the world, PLEASE create a LEGO or BrickBuilding Community Category in Twitch. Thank You to the community for supporting this effort.

    Thanks for sharing this idea! Time for the BrickBuilding community to unite! Thanks for getting this going!

    There are so many talented streamers in the "BrickBuilding" community and having them be able to use that as a category would be awesome.

    Yes please! I am new to Twitch and love streaming my LEGO related content to other AFOLs and beyond.
