I honestly think we need to revive many communities related to questions, interesting topics, and overall “lets-have-a-chat-on-something” (preferably not related to what I mentioned above, or at least that touches a broader audience).
Have you subbed to the various AskLemmy/Ask[instance]/NoStupidQuestions/Out of the Loop communities across here?
To my own amusement, I found sh.itjust.works has several question communities that I tossed some posts to here & there.
Also although I haven’t sorted out what I might want to post in them, there’s these chat communities for other discussing other topics besides those you highlight getting plenty enough discussion:
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 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.
Why? Are we not doing enough? (file.coffee)

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