Weekly active communities promotion thread

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!

#newcommunities

threaded - newest

By the way @Don_Dickle@lemmy.world, feel free to post to !movies@lemm.ee as well as the lemmy.world version, we try to keep a few communities outside of Lemmy.world to keep the Fediverse balanced

Don_Dickle@lemmy.world on 11 Aug 2024 20:18 collapse

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.

Blaze@sopuli.xyz on 11 Aug 2024 20:21 collapse

You don’t have to log in to any different instance.

You can just use lemmy.world/c/movies@lemm.ee to access that community

Don_Dickle@lemmy.world on 11 Aug 2024 20:25 collapse

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.

Blaze@sopuli.xyz on 11 Aug 2024 20:31 next collapse

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!

Don_Dickle@lemmy.world on 11 Aug 2024 21:12 collapse

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.

Well I would get a t-shirt that says fuck reddit on the front and support lemmy.world on the back.

I'll be honest, I never thought you were a troll. But people might think you are because you seem to a lot of trouble finding information on your own without asking another human for help, while being quite active here, and your comments are always short, from what I've seen of them. Disclaimer: I never stalked your profile to see everything, but I do see you around a lot just by naturally using the Fediverse.

now how do I delete my community so we can combine forces?

Blaze@sopuli.xyz on 11 Aug 2024 20:53 collapse

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 <img alt="" src="https://sopuli.xyz/pictrs/image/093f4240-f800-4263-8674-d80d3020af91.webp">

Don_Dickle@lemmy.world on 11 Aug 2024 20:59 collapse

Cool thank you. No sarcasm was just thinking of people getting confused.

threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works on 11 Aug 2024 23:22 collapse

Once you’ve done that, I would recommend the following actions:

  • Make one last pinned post on !explainlikeiamfive@lemmy.world just saying "Hey everyone, we’ve moved to !explainlikeimfive@lemmy.world, 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”

@rikudou@lemmings.world, could you please add Don_Dickle as a moderator of !explainlikeimfive@lemmy.world? I believe they have sent you the DM you asked for.

threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works on 14 Aug 2024 05:30 collapse

@Don_Dickle@lemmy.world

Reminder to close the smaller community and direct people to the larger one.

wjs018@ani.social on 11 Aug 2024 22:02 next collapse

A couple fandom communities:

  • !nokotan@ani.social - Currently airing show, has weekly discussion threads
  • !dandadan@ani.social - Show that will be airing this fall, has threads for manga chapters
  • !frieren@ani.social - Show that aired a couple months back, currently mostly fanart posts
  • !dungeonmeshi@ani.social - Show that aired a couple months ago, currently mostly fanart posts
  • !seiyuu@ani.social - Community to discuss Japanese anime voice actors behind the scenes and share clips
Elevator7009sAlt@ani.social on 19 Aug 2024 13:07 collapse

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 !episode_discussion@ani.social 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!

MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz on 11 Aug 2024 22:43 next collapse

Gonna try to post more to !gameart@sopuli.xyz, more subscribers and posters welcome both.

I have no idea, maybe

Blaze@sopuli.xyz on 12 Aug 2024 14:05 collapse

Lemmy is still small, so it’s usually easier to join an established community than to create one from scratch.

Anyway, good luck!

theskyisfalling@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 14 Aug 2024 09:41 collapse

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 :)

threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works on 14 Aug 2024 14:50 collapse

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.

Blaze@sopuli.xyz on 14 Aug 2024 15:01 collapse

They always were, it was just one community (!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) which was blocked from LW

threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works on 15 Aug 2024 02:54 collapse

Ah, thanks for the clarification. Nice that instances can block with some granularity, rather than just boolean federation or defederation.
