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, [email protected] and [email protected] are communities that you can subscribe to to see updates about communities

Maybe make it a monthly thing on the first or last day of the month?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I'm a bit biased but I like [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If you understand Danish, any of the communities on Feddit.dk should be interesting... But otherwise they probably aren't :P

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Makes sense! How many people are usually active on your communities, per week for instance?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

The most active is probably the news community, [email protected] with 80 active users per week according to the sidebar. I think a good portion of them are users on external instances.

[email protected] - Post your favorite and best music mashups.

[email protected] - This community is a place for stand-up comedy videos, shorts, gifs (with audio,) news, and discussion.

[email protected] - Basically for shirts that you think go hard. That can mean many things but it comes down to what you think stands out.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

@[email protected] On my instance there is 3 active communities, I am not admin in any of them but i think they're pretty cool

[email protected] - Community dedicated to the firefox browser [email protected] - Community dedicated to the customization of Firefox [email protected] - Got very cool CSS and looks pretty and customized, dedicated to art and pics of floating things

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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: [email protected] - I comment my puzzle results in there everyday [email protected] - Good reliable world news that covers important events [email protected] - I'm American and this is better than most of our news outlets [email protected] - Good single-serving comics in my feed [email protected] - Sometimes I throw video game music at them @[email protected] - Not a community, but I end up following MentalEdge to a lot of the communities they frequent

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Thank you for your comment. I really like the !floatingisfun one, it looks even better with the custom CSS!

For fans of outdoor cooking, especially with this versatile pellet grill …. [email protected](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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

[email protected] you think companies preventing you from repairing your stuff is BS?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

There is [email protected], maybe you can promote your community there?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

[email protected] - mostly games, movies, shows, and music in the cyberpunk sci-fi genre

[email protected] - music: synthwave, vaporwave, etc. A fairly new community, a couple different people have been posting

[email protected] - music community. I was hoping someone else would make the 300th post, if not I'll post something later today.

[email protected] - a larger community, a couple of us are posting regularly, but could use more discussion

[email protected] - a community about how to help grow the fediverse. @[email protected] 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, [email protected] - links to short stories online in all genres

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Interesting list, thanks!

Shamelessly promoting my community again: [email protected]

It averages about 1 post per week but it certainly isn't dead.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Stumbled upon it randomly the other day, it's pretty cool!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You've been doing great with that community, I hope more people get in there.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Cheers! Huuuge amount of credit goes to sorrybookbroke and jayjader running their twitch streams every week!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

If you enjoy reading, [email protected] 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 [email protected] 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.

More animal communities:

[email protected]

Funny Animals being Stupid [email protected]

Animals with “Jobs” (Cute Pics) [email protected]

Probably an opportunity for consolidation

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Yeah i don't really see the difference in topic, also on the same instance.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Thanks for sharing!

The last one is cute, but last post seems to be from 23 days ago
