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!

I would like to promote Askhistorians becasue no one had posted in a month and the one mod doesn’t answer questions.

Yep seems kind of inactive.

Seems like the mod hasn’t been on within the past six months.

Video game genres

A few miscellaneous communities I’ve tried to breathe some life into this past week:

  • !uselessredcircle@lemy.lol
  • !keming@lemmy.world (poorly spaced letters)
  • !prequelmemes@lemmy.world (surprisingly, had been dormant for 10 months)
  • !ihadastroke@lemm.ee (words that like look sense they make but don’t should)
  • !bertstrips@lemm.ee (previously on feddit.de, the lemm.ee version was the next largest)
  • !leaky_cauldron@diagonlemmy.social (the admin of that instance has recently returned, which is very encouraging)
  • !cubers@lemmy.world (Rubik’s cubes and related twisty puzzles)

!truecomics@midwest.social - Examples of and discussions on the classic “The Outbursts of Everett True” 2-panel comics from the early 1900s, in which a portly man objects violently to everyday wrongdoing. This has been taking off recently.

!fullmoviesonyoutube@lemm.ee - free movies on legit sites. Going strong.

I don’t have any new communities to advertise, but just wanted to send out a reminder, that you should view your home page on scaled sort or new every now and then after subbing to these small communities. It helps them show up more when they don’t have as many up votes as the big ones.

Good one! Alternatively, “New comments” can also bring them up

While there are still some days remaining I’d like to promote !olympics@sh.itjust.works

Come discuss what you’re watching during the Olympic Games!

If you’d like to learn how to speedrun a niche puzzle game, check this one out :)

I haven’t written all the tutorial posts I’ve wanted to yet, so stay tuned.

There’s some unexplored territory I haven’t explained for myself, like the connection to graph theory (i dont have any foundational knowledge for graph theory so maybe someone smarter than me can help ;) i figure it would help formalize some proofs)

Feel free to share your progress!
