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!

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

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

This is a genius idea! I have grown so much with LEGO streams and live builds, we need a category to share with our followers

This is such a brilliant idea!
Brick building has so many awesome creators, and they are juggled between Just Chatting, Makers & Crafting, and sometimes Art. It would be awesome to have a category we can all unite under. It would also help people be able to find and explore all the streams related to lego & building.
Jump on this suggestion Twitch! Haha, it’s a really great one. -

This is a must have, the brickbuilding community has grown exponentially on Twitch over the past two years and will only grow stronger in the future. There are dedicated streamers and viewers in this category, we need discoverability.

Those of us who have already found our way into the LEGO community on Twitch know to look for LEGO streams in the Brickbuilding tag. But people on the outside just search for the word "LEGO" - and unless a streamer has included that in their title, potential viewers aren't going to find their streams. Plus, many users stream LEGO multiple times before even finding out about the Brickbuilding tag, meaning viewers that would have loved to have found them never really had the chance.
A dedicated category would allow us a place to really build our communities and find new streamers and new viewers alike.
