We need shitposting like okbuddyretard and copypasta and stuff.
Thereβs a shitposting community here but it isnβt very active
Science Fiction, amateur radio, electronics... and maybe some equivalent of the popular (popcorn) subreddits; damnthatsinteresting, wtf, showerthoughts, TIL.
Ultimately I don't know yet. I'm hoping to see some new stuff that I didn't think to look for. Any topic can be interesting if people are passionate and not toxic.
Thanks! Both of those give me "couldnt_find_community" 404 messages, but I've has some issues loading lemmy.ml, it might be my client.
Weird, these communities aren't appearing when searching for them on beehaw. Yet they do in fact exist.
This. I participate in homebrewcomputers on reddit, would be nice to see something like that here, although the website is small enough that posting diy computer stuff in "Open Source" would probably be acceptable.
Agree with you on TIL and damnthatsinteresting i guess we'l see how things go forward from here
Something like /aww on reddit, I love animals.
Yeah Reddit was chock-full of cat subreddits, having those kinds of communities would greatly increase the appeal of Lemmy beyond tech, FOSS, politics and gaming.
Cooking (/eatcheapandhealthy is also great!), gardening, and movies.
fuckcars \ notjustbikes
fuckcars already exists technically in two forms !fuckcars!fuckcars@lemmy.ca fuck cars specifically and !citylife@beehaw.org for more general city talk
tnx
Not sure how to link communities yet but I'm aware of two: fuck_cars on lemmy.ml and fuckcars on lemmy.ca
tnx
Artistic ones, like music production, digital art, etc. maybe?
Once I wrap my head around how instances work, I'd love to get an instance up and running (or join an existing one)
A leathercraft community would be the bees knees. Good place to share tips/tricks, ongoing projects, answer questions or seek advice, that sort of thing.
I decided to be the change I wish to see in the world and created the !kittyterminal community, thinking I might make one for announcing new communities too
Paganism, heathenry, animism
Actually I enjoyed to follow non-overthrow-related prepping stuff on reddit. I mean the subs where they present handy solutions for rather realistic problems and scenarios, not these where they romanticise a civil collapse, or extensive weapon hoarding and usage.
Also paintball, mag-fed paintball, archery, hiking and bushcrafting.
THE_PACK and vexillologycirclejerk
Reptiles and ebikes
Seconding ebikes! (Reptiles are chill but a reptile community would not be helpful for me personally)
Something like ask mechanics and just rolled into the shop
I really have enjoyed game-specific communities on Reddit in the past -- Dragon Quest and Pokemon in particular; also the /tipofmytongue and /tipofmyjoystick were quite helpful. And /speedruns was super nice!
Also gardening and hot pepper growing; and since I live in Japan a place to discuss current events and life over here is also quite useful.
So ... starting your own community is pretty straight forward here.
You get moderation powers too, that can be shared, even between users on different lemmy instances.
See, eg, https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/users/04-moderation.html
I was looking for an RC car community like r/rccars on reddit, but I couldn't find one so I created it myself. !rc_cars@lemmy.world
How does one even make a community anyway. Need to ask the admins for something? I tried ans the last button press never did anything.
Skydiving ones
Iβd like to see an Apple community
