Added a few of the animals communities compared to last time

I see that and it is nice. Lemmy animal communities should make PixelFed jalous (^_^)

Hey Blaze would be cool if you could add !sillydrawingrequests@sopuli.xyz to that list since it fits!

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 06 Feb 19:59 collapse

At some point I think I’ll just take over !index@lemmy.zip and list all active communities over there.

I try to keep the list “manageable” but your community should definitely be there

Lazycog@sopuli.xyz on 06 Feb 20:19 collapse

Oh that would be sweet! Yeah no worries up to you - lemmy will grow!

Wxnzxn@lemmy.ml on 06 Feb 19:56 next collapse

If you are German-speaking, your main instance of interest for communities will probably be feddit.org with the main community being !dach@feddit.org (and inofficially !ich_iel@feddit.org) - check it out if you haven’t yet

EDIT: Hello there, person in the future - I completely forgot about !main@feddit.org - the “landing page” community.

As a newbie I appreciate you posting this

match@pawb.social on 06 Feb 21:36 next collapse

where’s the good porn. do not send me to lemmynsfw.

davidgro@lemmy.world on 06 Feb 21:46 collapse

There used to be pornlemmy but it died (and was too restrictive in my opinion)

I don’t know why not the one you named, as far as I know it’s the only remaining general porn instance. There’s just a few scattered communities on other general instances, and there are specialty instances like your own.

There’s also a bit on Mastodon but mostly reposting from reddit.

lordnikon@lemmy.world on 06 Feb 22:03 next collapse

This is a great post we should do a round up like this every few months. I know one of the hardest things was finding the right communities when so many were created and just became bot spam from reddit which did it a disservice since while it was from a good intent to create a bunch of content quickly. It stopped everyone from posting becase there was no engagement with OP. So it just looked like spam.

southsamurai@sh.itjust.works on 07 Feb 04:08 next collapse

Gotta give props to !metal@lemmy.world . It’s genre specific, and slow, but active.

Sergio@slrpnk.net on 07 Feb 05:53 next collapse

oh we doing this here too?

Cool list!

skulblaka@sh.itjust.works on 07 Feb 21:33 next collapse

Do we have an auto mechanics community yet? One of the only things I still really miss from reddit was JustRolledInToTheShop.

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 07 Feb 21:34 collapse

Closest we have is !cars@lemmy.world I think. Maybe over there people will know.

skulblaka@sh.itjust.works on 07 Feb 21:57 collapse

Fair enough, I am subscribed to that one. Thanks for that though. Maybe I’ll have to just make it myself.

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 07 Feb 21:59 next collapse

Maybe ask on !cars if people are interested. There are probably other mechanics over there

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 07 Feb 21:59 collapse

You can also try to ask people on !mechanicadvice@lemmy.world

Psythik@lemmy.world on 07 Feb 21:58 collapse

Can we please have the opposite list, next? The only reason I’m here is for politics, news, memes, and tech.
