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
You must log in or register to comment.
- !imaginaryfairies@lemmings.world
- !yoursinclair@retrolemmy.com
- !britishcomedy@feddit.uk
- !beds@feddit.uk
- !raining@sh.itjust.works
I think the rest of my communities haven’t seen activity lately, so I’ll have to post in them first!
I did not expect !beds to be about Bedfordshire. I assumed it was furniture related.
I was going to put Bedfordshire in brackets next to that, but I forgot. I knew it could cause confusion!
Its okay nothing to lose sleep over.
For interesting/science stuff
For those situations where all you can say is wtf?!:
Didn’t know about this one, thanks!
!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!
Some shameless self plugs 😛:
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.
“Imaginary” content
- !imaginary@reddthat.com
- !lemmydirectory@lemmy.dbzer0.com for the directory of communities
Shamelessly promoting my community again: !homebrewing@sopuli.xyz
It averages about 1 post per week but it certainly isn’t dead.
Stumbled upon it randomly the other day, it’s pretty cool!
I am glad that you like it. It would be nice to have little more traffic but post quality is more important so I can’t complain.
For movies, TV and animation
If you enjoy reading, !Books@Lemmy.world is pretty active place to discuss what you’re reading and review it or get recommendations.
I try to post significant price drops routinely to !ebookdeals@literature.cafe as well. I mostly post ones that I have heard good things about / read myself and really enjoyed and are valid at all 3 big US ebook retailers, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon at the same time or Humble Bundles. There’s no rule against others posting deals they endorse for other regions or other books, I just wanted to avoid it being a firehouse of spammy links and I only shop US Stores.
@Blaze@reddthat.com On my instance there is 3 active communities, I am not admin in any of them but i think they’re pretty cool
!Firefox@fedia.io - Community dedicated to the firefox browser !FirefoxCSS@fedia.io - Community dedicated to the customization of Firefox !FloatingIsFun@fedia.io - Got very cool CSS and looks pretty and customized, dedicated to art and pics of floating things
Thank you for your comment. I really like the !floatingisfun one, it looks even better with the custom CSS!
Cool! Thanks for the Floating Is Fun shout out! I wish that CSS would federate to other instances, even if it’s just a header image like Lemmy communities get. You Lemmy users can still use interfaces like Photon and Voyager, and it looks great on those.
As for me, I like these ones: !wordle@lemmy.world - I comment my puzzle results in there everyday !news@beehaw.org - Good reliable world news that covers important events !usnews@beehaw.org - I’m American and this is better than most of our news outlets !comicstrips@lemmy.world - Good single-serving comics in my feed !vgmusic@lemmy.world - Sometimes I throw video game music at them @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz - Not a community, but I end up following MentalEdge to a lot of the communities they frequent
Film photography: !analog@lemmy.world
Dragons! !imaginarydragons@leminal.space
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
- !2007scape@lemmy.world for OSRS
- !birds@lemmy.world for birds
- !illegallysmolbirbs@mander.xyz for small birds
Thanks for sharing!
The last one is cute, but last post seems to be from 23 days ago
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.
Stick enthusiasts !stick@sh.itjust.works
