- Cool list!

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.

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

THANK YOU

Great work!

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

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

great collection! love it.

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.

Do we have an auto mechanics community yet? One of the only things I still really miss from reddit was JustRolledInToTheShop.
- Closest we have is !cars@lemmy.world I think. Maybe over there people will know.
  
  Fair enough, I am subscribed to that one. Thanks for that though. Maybe I'll have to just make it myself.

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