Hello,
As everybody knows, content discovery on Lemmy can sometimes be a bit tricky.
To help smaller communities to get more activity, I launch this thread for people to promote the communities they are active one.
One important criteria: please only promote communities that have been at least one post in the last 7 days. And if there is none, feel free to post there and then promote it here!
This could be a weekly thread, but let’s see how it goes
Finally, !newcommunities@lemmy.world and !communitypromo@lemmy.ca are communities that you can subscribe to to see updates about communities
!cyberpunk@lemmy.zip - mostly games, movies, shows, and music in the cyberpunk sci-fi genre
!wavemusic@lemmy.world - music: synthwave, vaporwave, etc. A fairly new community, a couple different people have been posting
!gothindustrial@lemmy.world - music community. I was hoping someone else would make the 300th post, if not I’ll post something later today.
!fullmoviesonyoutube@lemm.ee - a larger community, a couple of us are posting regularly, but could use more discussion
!fedigrow@lemm.ee - a community about how to help grow the fediverse. @Blaze@reddthat.com has been posting a weekly thread on “how is your [niche] community doing?” which is kind of like a support group for people keeping communities alive
edit: how could I forget, !shortstories@literature.cafe - links to short stories online in all genres
Interesting list, thanks!
For movies, TV and animation
For interesting/science stuff
!musicmashups@lemmy.world - Post your favorite and best music mashups.
!standupcomedy@lemmy.world - This community is a place for stand-up comedy videos, shorts, gifs (with audio,) news, and discussion.
!shirtsthatgohard@lemmy.world - Basically for shirts that you think go hard. That can mean many things but it comes down to what you think stands out.
For fans of outdoor cooking, especially with this versatile pellet grill …. !traeger@lemmy.world(https://lemmy.world/c/traeger)
I just got one of these grills and am learning about smoking - let’s help each other out, appreciate each others efforts, and cook some feasts
Stick enthusiasts !stick@sh.itjust.works
Film photography: !analog@lemmy.world
Dragons! !imaginarydragons@leminal.space
Maybe make it a monthly thing on the first or last day of the month?
“Imaginary” content
- !imaginary@reddthat.com
- !lemmydirectory@lemmy.dbzer0.com for the directory of communities
I’m a bit biased but I like !eric_posts_urls@discuss.online
- !2007scape@lemmy.world for OSRS
- !birds@lemmy.world for birds
- !illegallysmolbirbs@mander.xyz for small birds
Why birds and not !birding@lemmy.world ?
Probably an opportunity for consolidation
Yeah i don’t really see the difference in topic, also on the same instance.
Thanks for sharing!
The last one is cute, but last post seems to be from 23 days ago
If you understand Danish, any of the communities on Feddit.dk should be interesting… But otherwise they probably aren’t :P
Makes sense! How many people are usually active on your communities, per week for instance?
The most active is probably the news community, !nyheder@feddit.dk with 80 active users per week according to the sidebar. I think a good portion of them are users on external instances.
Well I guess !climate@slrpnk.net !energy@slrpnk.net and !technology@slrpnk.net are already quite well known.
!balconygardening@slrpnk.net and !inperson@slrpnk.net are kinda cool as well. In general have a look at our community list, we have some good ones that are at least reasonably active.
!learningrustandlemmy@lemmy.ml
It’s for learning rust (the programming language) and the lemmy code base itself as a sort of “reading club”. If you’re the type of person who might be interested there’s a good chance you’ve heard of it already. We’re currently working through The Book (conventional learning resource) through a couple of Twitch streams and regular posts/discussions.
More collaborative learning activity is plenty welcome!
You’ve been doing great with that community, I hope more people get in there.
Cheers! Huuuge amount of credit goes to sorrybookbroke and jayjader running their twitch streams every week!
