MODERATORS
Aww, thanks for mentioning my little corner of the fediverse. Glad you like it.
Because I never have a single favorite anything, here's my top three in no particular order.
!noncredibledefense@piefed.social frequently has some great content that requires me to look something jp to understand the punchline, and is just all around great at mocking military violence.
!tenforward@piefed.world has a ton of excellent humor, from clever puns to in jokes about the shows and movies. It is rare than I don't cluckle at a couple of them each day.
!fuck_ai@lemmy.world because corporate AI is ruining everything by flooding the internet with slop and malicious propaganda. It doesn't shit on the good uses of AI like tools for music or science, just the worst implementations that are being forced into everything.
TenForward is awesome!
!bun_alert_system@lemmy.sdf.org
because rabbit sightings are important news
How had I never heard of this!
!wholesome@reddthat.com is mine, I really like it cos it's so wholesome and everyone is lovely. Outside of that I really like !dadforaminute@lemmy.world the dads are always there to support you. !television@piefed.social is really good too, lots of varied chatter
!unix_surrealism@lemmy.sdf.org
Because I really enjoy the comics, and at this point I'm pretty invested in the over-arching story arc.
Also, the first artist I discovered on the fediverse.
It's a beautiful comic!
Piracy.lemmy.dbzer0
Immaculate vibes, helpful people who are knowledgeable and also curious. The exact opposite of reddit's piracy page
I really like lemmy.world/c/historyartifacts !
That's pretty cool! Shame it's so quiet
Yeah, looking at those posts, I guess I just like PugJesus 😊
You may not see most posts, since my account is instance-banned from Blahaj.
Ah that could be why
I like the canning community although it's not very busy! Maybe come fall there'll be more posts!
Feel free to do a post about it in !Womensstuff@piefed.blahaj.zone I bet some members are into canning
I have no idea how to link one community in another community, especially on the mobile I'm usually using!
It's ! then the name of the community in full. So //!fakecommunity@lemmy.world// without the back slashes
I love superbowl. Great owl pics, friendly vibe.
!funhole@lemmy.sdf.org, all my friends are there.
Funhole is such a comforting little refuge. It does feel a little like I've stumbled into someone else's friend group, but I'm very happy passively enjoying the vibe.
Welcome friend
💙
TBH, as controversial an opinion as it may be, Hexbear. They're doing 120% effort at all times and really committed to it.
I enjoy Hexbear.
All time favorite is !trippinthroughtime@lemmy.ca.
Honorable mentions:
!antiquememesroadshow@lemmy.world
If you like wholesome memes you'll love !wholesome@reddthat.com there's several posts a day. Also check out !nicememes@sopuli.xyz
Im on piefed so I like using topics so I can look over many redundant communities. Comics is the one I look at most regularly on its own.
Probably stuff like !lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works and !foraging@slrpnk.net I think. It doesn't seem like there are a lot of communities dedicated to old timey/low tech crafts, but the ones we do have are awesome.
