Here is the outcome from the brief chat I had here.

This is not finished - not in categories, not in organisation, not in communities, but I'm getting exhausted currently. Many communities on here are old, dead, tired. Some are new. Many categories are barren, some are overfilled and need more segmentation. I'm just sharing what I've built as I think this could be very helpful to community advertisement and exploration.

I'd like anyone who runs or knows of communities to let me know here, so I can add them.

IMO "Gaming" should be it's own top category. I can help with this one if needed.

"Collapse" should probably be removed as a top level category. It's not relevant for top level.

Not sure how "Regional" would function. Regional implies your local communities, but I am assuming it leads to multiple region specific communities irrespective of where you are.

"Music" might be a simply top level category to add. I can help with this one if needed.

Not sure what communities fall under Technology. I can provide a broader selection of choices if needed.

How would I organise "Collapse"? It is basically a place for doomer-climate-collapse communities and a few prepper places atm. It's a hybrid of lifestyle, environmentalism and anti-capitalism/doomerism etc.

"Regional" leads to national communities. Canada, USA, UK etc.

“Music” might be a simply top level category to add. I can help with this one if needed.

Music and Video Games are under "Entertainment" atm, but sure. Ideas?

I would remove collapse. IMO it's not something that is relevant to the social media experience. People who are looking for a collapse style community can find it on their own.

I think regional works fine as is. What I am referring to is probably outside of the scope of the discussion.

Some music communities (it's a broad list but at least the ones I am listing are more or less active):

Gaming (all more or less active):

Some addition to technology (all more or less active):

I have added everything I didn't have there into the relevant categories.

Lemmy.zip has geoblocked the UK. What's it going to?

I had no idea we did that! This link should let you open it.

It's due to our Online Safety Act.
