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
Interesting list, thanks!
Some shameless self plugs 😛:
Subscribed to Imaginary Witches, thanks!
Welcome! 🤗
For casual discussions and real life topics
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
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 or read myself and really enjoyed 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.
!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!
Gonna add some: Animals: !animalsbeingderps@lemmy.world !animalswithjobs@lemmy.world !aquariums@lemmy.world
Weird Politics/Lifestyle: !anarcho_primitivism@lemmy.world !anticonsumption@slrpnk.net
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.
Stick enthusiasts !stick@sh.itjust.works
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.
- !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.
Europe specific
- !europe@feddit.org for news
- !yurop@lemm.ee for casual conversations
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.
