Lemmy411 - Don't know where to find what you're looking for?

From @rglullis's !fediverser\_network

Not for deep interests, but you know like that old song about someone’s favorite things where the examples are all like copper kettles. Where you might write a few sentences about the little thing you like.

Any instances hosting it?

I find it fascinating how diffierent newspapers/magazines etc. try to convey political messages on their front cover, and show virtue signaling.

Is there anywhere to share them? Both “good” (as in I agree with the message) and “bad” ones, and both historical and current.

On reddit r/propagandaposters was great for the historical ones

Specifically PC games

Edit: Windows PC games

I want some fun communities to browse after being tired of seeing bad news most of the time when I scroll through lemmy

What the title says

Any ideas where I could ask for show recommendations for glide dancing?

Glide dancing example

c/comics says no NSFW in the community info.

Where is an appropriate place to post this? Can be on any instance.

More info: It is a one off art piece. Not an ongoing webcomic.

It doesn't seem like it would necessarily fit either !lemmy@lemmy.ml or !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml, and !moderators@lemmy.world I think may be more intended for Lemmy World community moderators.

I live in Greece, and I'm getting a Pixel 7a, but the delivery is... not going well. It's been stuck on "To be sent" since I ordered it. I was wondering where I could get help with this problem?

Back then on Reddit i really enjoyed r/nosleep, is there a good (creepy)pasta community on lemmy?

Has anyone found good communities for tabletop gaming, especially for game masters and narrators? Very much obliged!

Is there a /c/ for discussing Black Spire Outpost stuff?

By "venting" I mean "freely expressing bad feeling(s)".

Edit: thanks you for your answers!

I'm thinking of like "Is there a [blank]" or "Where would I find [blank]" sort of community where one might ask things like, "Is there a creator/YouTube channel/blog covering [blank]" or "Where would I find a durable [blank]?"

Sort of a general looking for [thing/source] community, rather than personal help/care kind of community (as I know some of those are around).

Atm I think the AskLemmy communities are sorta being used for these questions, so I'm guessing maybe there isn't an alternative?

Is there a community for dark / spooky / creepy art, that is not on lemmy.ml?

I like naming stuff, any community that does this or smth adjacent

I'd like to buy the services of someone who can create svg files from characters from a video (those are already flat and simple colored, so an easy job for anyone who knows how to trace stuff like that), though I have no idea where to look.

Looked around and can find plenty of tech news related communities and several tech communities for learning/discussing specific tech subjects (programming, programming languages, etc.), but can't seem to find a more open-ended, all levels tech questions community.

Closest I found to what I'm looking for was !tech_starter@lemmy.ml, but that's more aimed at beginners (which is a great idea tbh).

Have I overlooked where one of the tech communities is more open to questions alongside news? Will admit I was skimming after awhile of searching, so I may have!

So that someone can help identify it

Where would I ask a question about Mint Mobile? Just realized that texting myself doesn't actually go through as a text, which is weird, but don't know if there's a community I can use to ask about it.

Two subreddits I used to be very active in were for techsupport and networking/home networking. Anyone know if there's Lemmy communities for the same?

Also, related, is there a way to list communities available from a specific instance? Like if I wanted to see all communities local to Lemmy.world or something (that's not my local instance), can I do that? If so, how?

I'm still getting used to the fediverse way of doing things, I love it here, I'm just having trouble getting myself up to speed relative to all that I was subscribed to on Reddit.

TIA

Trying to fill the void left from r/MMA & r/BJJ ... Any one have any recommendations for relatively active communities?

I hate everything so much rn

I'm looking for communities or magazines for technical/professional writers. Please let me know if you're aware of any. :)

Hi,

Does anyone know of any active weightlifting, strongman or home gym communities?

I need some advice on my routine.

Thanks!

As per title - looking for a place to post about doggos and discuss all things doggo

I posted this on !youshouldknow@lemmy.world yesterday and I thought it was worth sharing here too to help people looking for specific types of communities on the Lemmyverse:

I built this for myself some years ago and used it a lot to find many interesting niche subreddits. Today I expanded it to also help myself and others find interesting niche communities across the Lemmyverse!

There is a longer explanation here from an older article, but basically:

• You give this a link that you found interesting
• It will (try to) find everywhere it has been shared on the Lemmyverse (and other websites)
• It will show you all comments from everywhere it's been shared on a single page
• You can do all the regular stuff like filter, sort, isolate etc.

One thing I find myself doing very often is hitting "toggle sources" on the top banner; this shows me everywhere the link has been shared and commented on, and if I see a community I'm not familiar with, I'll isolate the comments from that source and have a look through to see if it's a community I'd like to engage with.

There are also browser extensions and an iOS shortcut available.

You can check out an example from a post that just hit "Hot" on lemmy.world here!

I hope this helps people find interesting, engaging and fulfilling communities in this next chapter of the internet! 🚀

> Hello from your southern neighbor. I am a huge fan of Kids In the Hall, Corner Gas, Strange Brew, etc.. While these are older shows and movies I still have a great appreciation for Canadian humor in all entertainment mediums. I am surprised I haven't come across a community for discussing Canadian entertainment or something thereof. As I am not as versed as many on the subject I would be hesitant to create a community myself, but would enjoy having one to participate in and find new shows and whatnot. Just something to think about. Eh?

Hey all, I have been adding community rss feeds by adding the community name + .xml to my feed reader. Works great for my home instance lemmy.ca but trying to add the .xml for a community I am subscribed to from another instance craps out with the login page requirement.

For example, adding https://lemmy.ca/c/lemmy411.xml works fine in the rss reader but adding https://lemmy.world/c/technology.xml does not work because I am not on lemmy.world.

Also https://lemmy.ca/c/technology.xml@lemmy.world fails with feed not found "Join Lemmy"

Any ideas? Maybe I am missing something obvious.

Search turns up a ton of groups where the string "tea" appears anywhere in the name (e.g., "team")
