Diversions sounds like lowered blood pressure and improved mental health to me.

How about something generic, like "Misc"(ellaneous) Sorry if that's unappealing ... I'm just trying to obey the "KISS" rule. Like it or not ... it covers many, if not all, of the possible sub-headings. ... I don't know what you did, but whatever it was makes typing in the edit window unbearably slow and error prone. Please un-do it. Sure is a pretty day. TED

I like Diversions much better. I thought Coffee Shop was perfect and clever and didn't need to be changed, but everybody has to have ownership of something - even if it is insignificant. Pastime: Something that serves to make time pass agreeably; a pleasant means of amusement, recreation, or sport:

"Diversions" has kind of sexual connotation (of course that might just be me, and I dont mind it). pastimes are hobbies in my view, not descriptive at all. In fact confusing as to what that would include and therefore limits newbies view of what you offer. Still like "coffee shop" the best. which I take as anything other than stocks and politics.

At the risk of being drawn and quartered by my boss, I like Coffee Shop.

Just an observation: Pas times needs some kerning. It looks like PAS TIMES

The support for "Diversions" seems lukewarm. Depending on one's personal experience, it can have a variety of irrelevant connotations such as sexual diversion, pre-trial diversion, crop diversion, etc. The current label "Pastimes" essentially means "Hobbies", which is not accurate. People like "Coffee Shop", so I'd consider restoring that. Otherwise, I think "Community" is a reasonable choice that conveys the same idea.
