What Lemmy communities would you like to share that we may not know about?

I’m noticing an influx of Reddit users today, maybe revolving around their weird bug they had today. I know this question pops up semi regularly, but for those just getting their foot in the door maybe we can help show them what else is out here on the Fediverse to help them get started.

I’ll kick us off, to any newcomers, I help run the following communities, and we’d welcome you to any of them. (Shameless self promotion I know, but I hope more people join in sharing theirs as well)

For help and support, taken right from the sidebar of AskLemmy here

An important one to kick off, we do have an entire community just for this over at !communitypromo (https://lemmy.ca/c/communitypromo) for a more long-running conversation

For new users, I hope you find some communities that you enjoy! For current users, share your favorite communities that new folks may be interested in! (Please use both the !@_ notation and give a link, to help our new fediverse people out in learning how it works)

I’m going to shamelessly plug the community I just made for Ambigrams.

I guess self promotion but if any anime fan wants to find out what anime that he found is from scenes or speech and so on, you can try and see if anyone ever responds on !whatanime

TrippyFocus,

I started a fantasy basketball community here for anyone interested. I try to share helpful articles I find and plan to do more if it grows.
!fantasy_basketball

Copy-pasting my usual response to these threads:


I’m legally obliged to shill the various crafting communities, my two most used are !knitting and !lemmy_stitch but you can find lots more in the sticky thread in either of those.

Then there’s also !imadethis which has been a bit quiet lately so if you’ve made something, go show it off!

Bebo,

For books and reading related: !fiction !books !classics !literature For discworld fans: !discworld

I want to suggest !main , or !chatter (general topic discussion that’s been kind of inactive), !general, and other just general chat communities across servers that aren’t memes and shitposts, just to give people a low bar of entry to talk about how they feel, what’s going on in their lives (to the extent they wish to share).

Someone looking for general advice, share something cool that isn’t yet part of any community (but it could help start one), ask a question that they feel isn’t a good fit for asklemmy, newbs and forum veterans can talk about their experiences. I think it can foster contributions from power-posters, occasional posters, commentors and lurkers alike and grow the Lemmyverse organically.

Rolando,

gotta promote !gothindustrial for industrial, goth, and adjacent music styles!?!!

I'm a mod of !startpages (https://kbin.social/m/startpages), which is all about the startpage/new tab page that resides in your browser. Right now It only has a few posts, so it'd be great to have some more users.

conditional_soup,

A community for EMS professionals that I manage and desperately want to see more activity in:

!ems (lemm.ee/c/ems)

A community for sharing spooky stories, doesn’t matter if they’re true or not:

!rag_and_bone (lemm.ee/c/rag_and_bone)

Oh cool, subbed to the spooky one!

conditional_soup,

Thank you!

@MissJinx@lemmy.world avatar

funny how one of the most popular subs in reddit still don’t have a vary active community in lemmy. Will sub for hope

ehxor,

Yay! Subbed your EMS one

conditional_soup,

Thank you!

christophski,

Had to look up what “EMS” is, it’s not referred to as this in my country and your “about” section didn’t provide any more description - you might get more international users if you use a more general term like “emergency service workers” or “ambulance” or something like that

conditional_soup,

Great advice, thank you!

shinigamiookamiryuu,

!downvotedtooblivion for all the times karma attacks.

Have you been to !ergomechkeyboards yet?

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Not until now.

As an ipad user I wouldn’t have anything to offer in terms of keyboards, sadly.

Metal_Zealot,
@Metal_Zealot@lemmy.ml avatar

Guess I should’ve mentioned the guy who waltzed in and had a severe case of main character syndrome, would be a great story to share in your community

shinigamiookamiryuu,

You (or anyone else) can share it there if you’d like.

As the current main mod there, I feel there’d be unwanted implications to myself doing any sharing, which is why I only posted the first post about the community itself.
