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!
You must log in or # to comment.
For interesting/science stuff
This is a great list! Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome!

if someone plays jrpg’s maybe take a look at [email protected] and maybe share something about the last game you played.
Nice one!
Instance agnostic link: [email protected]
I really like [email protected] as well
A couple fandom communities:
- [email protected] - Currently airing show, has weekly discussion threads
- [email protected] - Show that will be airing this fall, has threads for manga chapters
- [email protected] - Show that aired a couple months back, currently mostly fanart posts
- [email protected] - Show that aired a couple months ago, currently mostly fanart posts
- [email protected] - Community to discuss Japanese anime voice actors behind the scenes and share clips
Thanks for the “mostly fanart posts” disclaimer. Back on Reddit and now on Lemmy, a big issue I have with anime communities is it is often just Pixiv/Twitter/Danbooru art reposts. It is kind of annoying because I want to talk about the anime, not see art reposts. Yes, I understand Lemmy is a link aggregator and so that is a valid use of Lemmy, and my frustration is likely an uncommon opinion given this is how most anime communities are and there seems to be lots of upvoting and little pushback. Guess that’s what [email protected] is for, but you would still think you would find more discussion about AnimeName on the community named AnimeName. All goes to say, thank you for that disclaimer!
Don’t know if someone can link it but going to ask anyway can someone link me to the community of ELI5 that has like 13k subscribers so I can add it to my feed.?
now how do I delete my community so we can combine forces?
You can probably lock your community so that posts you created are still accessible.
You can do that by editing the community sidebar and check the “Only moderators can post” box
Cool thank you. No sarcasm was just thinking of people getting confused.
Once you’ve done that, I would recommend the following actions:
- Make one last pinned post on [email protected] just saying "Hey everyone, we’ve moved to [email protected], and this community will be closed.
- Edit the display name from “Explain Like I’m Five” to something like “(CLOSED) Explain Like I’m Five”
@[email protected], could you please add Don_Dickle as a moderator of [email protected]? I believe they have sent you the DM you asked for.
thank you so much…no sarcasm.
For casual discussions and real life topics
By the way @[email protected], feel free to post to [email protected] as well as the lemmy.world version, we try to keep a few communities outside of Lemmy.world to keep the Fediverse balanced
I hate having too many stuff to login to everyday are there any good instances you can reccomend. I just want a community or Instance to outdo reddit.
You don’t have to log in to any different instance.
You can just use https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] to access that community
As I have been called this along with troll and other stuff are you just spamming the community? Asking out of curiousity and I thank you for the link. I will…no hate or no sarcasm…much love mate.
Feel free to post as much as you want on it, if necessary we’ll tell you to post a bit less, but I think with your current rhythm it should be fine
I don’t usually recognize Lemmy users but I’ve run into your posts a lot these last few days. I assumed you were a bot but from interactions like these it’s clear you mean well. Love to see Lemmy growing from power users like yourself!
Lol I just don’t want people to think I am a bot or a troll. I would like this to get much bigger and more niche. Hell I created a twitter profile just to promote lemmy.world.
Hell I created a twitter profile just to promote lemmy.world.
That’s next level dedication
Migrated the dubstep community to a different instance but will still be very much active, I will be posting 2 releases per day, prioritising new releases where I can.
Please also join in if you like some wubs :)
Nice!
Where was it, and why the switch?
Was on .world. Main points were to minimise centralisation of communities on .world and to maximise the number of people who can see the community based on some defederation and dislike of .world.
Thanks Blaze for supplying a link :)
Glad to see more efforts to move off world. Are world and dbzer0 federated with each other again? I recall they weren’t at some point.
They always were, it was just one community ([email protected] ) which was blocked from LW
Ah, thanks for the clarification. Nice that instances can block with some granularity, rather than just boolean federation or defederation.
[email protected], there should be a post from yesterday about the switch
For all things Rubik’s cubes and twisty puzzles!
Its a little slow to start and I’m writing my second post there now but I mod [email protected]
Its Tales from the Tabletop, a place for sharing your awesome tabletop adventures.
Is it lemmy.world? There’s a typo that threw me off in the link.
Thanks for letting me know. I fixed it.
Interesting, couldn’t that type of content be also posted to [email protected] ?
I have no idea, maybe
Lemmy is still small, so it’s usually easier to join an established community than to create one from scratch.
Anyway, good luck!
Gonna try to post more to [email protected], more subscribers and posters welcome both.
[email protected] post your bad experiences with mods.
Hm, I have some old drama I could post there, maybe I will, but not sure if steering that stuff up so long after is really reasonable
*stirring. But ye, up to you. For me, I sometimes need to get things off my chest when I feel injustice has been done.
