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’ll never pass up a chance to promote !superbowl (Owls, not the NFL thing)

It’s always nice to see some jokes stick around, I hope when I die this is still a joke. (No sarcasm either, I truly love it and how much it annoys some people)

vynlwombat,

Wow, didn’t know this was a thing. I was watching What They Do in the Shadows recently and there’s a Superbowl episode.

TotallyHuman,

Does it actually annoy people? Wow, that makes it even funnier.

LemmyKnowsBest,

I already subscribed to those feathery fowls the first day I joined :-)

I also endose this recommendation!

!superbowl has everything for your owl related needs!

Love cats? Try owls, the cats of the sky!

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/8c9692c8-033e-4f57-b299-c0f79af8cb35.jpeg

We’ve got cute owls, angry owls, stern owls, and silly owls.

White, brown, red, grey, big, medium, and small!

Find out where to meet owls or how to get started working with owls.

If you want hard science or fluffy photos, !superbowl has got it, and if we don’t have it, we’ll get it!

We’re pretty consistently in the top trending communities for a niche group, and there’s an ever growing number of fans checking in daily.

Hey, admin of programming.dev here

Heres a nice selection of communities from various of the topic instances including ours that might be nice for most people

  • !science - mander is the science and nature instance with this being one of their main communities
  • !programming - main community for the programming.dev instance which is the instance for programming
  • !gaming - main community for the lemmy.zip instance which has most of the game communities so far in lemmy
  • !software_gore - community that just got started up in programming.dev where you can post any software malfunctions you come across
  • !android - main community in lemdro which is focused primarily around android

edit, heres some more:

Ranvier,

Not a specific community, but check out everything on mander.xyz if you haven’t yet. Lots of great science related communities on there. It’s already a pretty active instance but would love to see the communities on there get even more love.

scrubbles,
@scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech avatar

Wow I had no idea this entire instance existed, and there’s some heavy following too, I’ll definitely be subbing to some of those communities

@livus@kbin.social avatar

Good rec, the mander.xyz stuff is great.

lemmy.world/c/tvtoohigh

Has sooo much potential. I can feel the memes flowing through it.

scrubbles,
@scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech avatar

and subbed, after being in /r/hometheater it’s good to see the core beliefs over here too. You’re TVs are too high

otp,

I think you meant “two hi” at the end there

TokenBoomer,

Great community

Nath,
@Nath@aussie.zone avatar

Huh. I am positive these people would say my TV is too high. But, I like it where it is.

If I’m standing in front of the screen, it is at eye-height. If I’m reclining back on the lounge, I am looking up at it without having to cram my neck downward.

So, I basically disagree with this whole community’s premise.

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)

scrubbles,
@scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech avatar

Oh cool, subbed to the spooky one!

conditional_soup,

Thank you!

MissJinx,
@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!

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!

Rolando,

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

4 posts in sum in those two communities

i guess satisfies the requirements:

  1. you like to share
  2. we may not know about
Kissaki,
@Kissaki@feddit.de avatar

Yes; I just found it important context/properties of them

Some may be interested in growing them, others not

Barely any content also makes it less clear what it is or will be about, to what degree - and if there even will be more content.

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.

!moviesandtv is a pretty great community if you’re into movies and tv. It’s where a lot of the regulars from [email protected] went after the lemmy.film instance was shut down.

Steamymoomilk,

Thanks for helping out the newbees by making this post.

Also shamless plug sh.itjust.works/c/machinist

A community about machining, and other various trade and manufactoring shenniagans.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

!downvotedtooblivion for all the times karma attacks.

@Metal_Zealot@lemmy.ml avatar

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.

@scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech avatar

To mods here at !asklemmy, I know this is on the edge of rule 3 and 4, I’m seeing a lot of newbie questions though and was hoping this could head off a thousand new posts of users asking what and how to use lemmy. Actually, I’m going to add some of that to the post.

@otter@lemmy.ca avatar

Other communities to subscribe to for more of this

!newtolemmy (for new users to ask any questions, including communities)

!communityPromo (same purpose as this post)

!newcommunities (for brand new communities as they’re made)

Edit: oops you already linked some of this, thanks for making the post!

Didn’t know about newtolemmy, just added it on the post! Thanks!
