Thanks for this. I need to create a mental health list to stop my habit of doomscrolling.

[–] neatobuilds@lemmy.today 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would like to add !sideoftheroad@lemmy.today please

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Added in the Pictures category!

[–] neatobuilds@lemmy.today 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yay thank you!

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Feel free to promote this community on yours, the more people know about it, the more effective it is to promote communities 😄

[–] Blaze@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Recreating this from a local account to see if it works better regarding pinning

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seeing you post from an account without a profile picture feels profoundly weird.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

I really just use it to mod this community, it's not in my usual accounts rotation

[–] squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd suggest to add !dailygames@lemmy.zip to the Games category :)

[–] Blaze@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Done!

[–] squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you!

[–] glowing_hans@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

[–] PhenomenalPancake@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

!sexadvice@lemmy.world

NSFW but I think it still counts!

[–] Tekktical@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hi, im completely new, but would like to make this my go to social media.

Some of the communities you posted ended up empty for me. Is there anything I can do to change that? Besides posting in it ofc. I meant if I did something wrong.

[–] Madbrad200@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Which ones? All of these should have some content.

If a community has never been accessed by a user from your instance before (lemmy.wtf), they may appear empty to start with.

[–] Skavau@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can you update !showsandmovies@lemm.ee to !television@lemm.ee

It's moved.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Done

[–] Dupelet@piefed.social 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Could you add !Nonpolitical_comics@piefed.social to the list?

[–] Blaze@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Done!

[–] Dupelet@piefed.social 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Many thanks!

[–] zabadoh@ani.social 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

How about a category for music?

[–] glowing_hans@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

I like "you should know" communities. ysk

[–] Snoopy@piefed.social 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 2 points 1 year ago

Spam. It is fixed.

[–] Smokeydope@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Would !metaldetecting@lemmy.world count for manual hobbies section?

[–] AnotherHelldiver@jlai.lu 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I made a new Game Community. ARC Raiders

https://jlai.lu/c/arc_raiders

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What's it about ?

[–] AnotherHelldiver@jlai.lu 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A video game. A science fiction game set in a post apocalyptic world.

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is it opensource ?

[–] AnotherHelldiver@jlai.lu 1 points 1 year ago

It is not

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Is there any Lemmy community where one can simply submit world-building lore ?? Just in case any nice person wants to make a video-game/indie-movie out of it ?
