What are your favorite lemmy communities?
What are your favorite lemmy communities?
Is there any community or communities you like the most?
Does anyone know of communities where the posts are many paragraphs of OC selftext with the comments discussing it? I don't really care what the content is, but that's for format I'm looking for. So far it's just links, cat pics, and memes...
Agreed! I loved communities like AITA, relationship advice, etc... on Reddit.
Lemmy is still in that early link aggregator stage, Reddit was like this too for awhile.
as the saying goes, be the change you wish to see...
You may want to check out tildes.net -- great community, totally text focused experience. I find that tildes complements lemmy well, and end up on both (in addition to a few other sites) to get a well rounded aggregation/discussion experience.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Oh nice, I'll give it a look
Do you have an account on there by any chance? It seems to be invite only...
Best of redditor updates was my favorite of these, even if most of them were probably made up.
Oh yah, that one was great!
You'll probably need to wait a bit for those, or else start one.
People were willing to write that kind of stuff on Reddit because they knew people would see it. Possibility of attention incentivizes people to put the work in.
Here...not so much. Less incentive to put effort into big text posts without more people. Lemmy's less than perfect sorting for Hot or Active is helping much either.
That's kind of how Reddit was at first, too. All of this will take shape eventually it's just not here quite yet.
I've made a few text/discussion based posts on a dnd community and got good engagement. People are wrong if you give them a chance.
Be the change you want to see. It's never more true than at the beginning of something like we are now. I've only been here a month or two and I ashtray feel like I've seen Lemmy evolve over that time. It's cool!
Ah, that would make sense
Shameless plug for my community !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works which I think is quite neat. Best gaming community imo
This is a great community.
The Lemmy community is far better than the subreddit
Hey thanks! Glad you like it :)
Almost any community named "cat" or "dog". People should post more pictures of their happy non-human family.
Please. I need a way to break up the solid pages of awful global news in my feed, and I haven't got any of my own to hug.
edited to add: here's a list of cat communities , if there are other lists for other animals let me know.

I've been trying my best at getting !superbowl@lemmy.world going. It needs more activity, I can only photograph so many owls!
Oh that's good. It reminds me of when Al Pacino was in that movie about a guy who's great with scarves.
I didn't need to block communities when I first started lemmy, but then predictably became necessary as time passed so went block crazy and now feed is easier again to try and find intersting communities when browsing all over news agregators.
That's the thing though, I do want to know about the topics and events, they're important and have huge consequences. But previously I was relying on nice things from communities I enjoy hearing from to space the more painful content out.
I have learnt that nice content requires a lot more activity if it stands a chance against the sheer volume of news created. But I also know there are lots of people here who have nice content to share that would benefit us all.
I included a list of animal communities in this post here (among other fun/casual communities). Some you didn't mention:
- !aww@lemmy.ml
- !aww@lemmy.world
- !awwnverts@lemmy.world
- !birding@lemmy.world

- !gatze@feddit.de
- !illegallysmolcats@lemmy.world
- !quackers@lemmy.world
- !shiba@lemmy.world
- !spiders@lemmy.world
I don't see a way to comment on the cat sub list but I'd like to plug !meow_irl@sopuli.xyz for cat memes.
I made a list of good casual Lemmy communities recently that you might find helpful :)
Wait, what?
"(gemstone cutting)"
Oh gemstones, right.
Some of my favorite communities that are fun and active are:
I appreciate they aren't all from the same instance!
Sciencefiction@lemmy.world
Piracy db0
All lemmynsfw because named people and hentai.
I happen to like !whatcouldgowrong@lemm.ee
Probably because I am a mod there. :-)
SUBSCRIBED
This is delightfully random and weird.
Been liking selfhosted@lemmy.world
fixed link
!imaginarystarships@lemmy.world helps to feed my starship addiction.
Subbed. Thanks :) I love communities like this
Are there other imaginary communities like the subreddits? Like /r/imaginarylandscapes, dwarves, elves, portals, etc. Even one that cross posts from reddit would be cool
I see we're all shilling the communities we mod, which makes sense if you think about it. So in that vein:
For more gamedev-related communities we've got a sticky post here, and for more crafting communities of all shapes and sizes there's one here!
Apart from those I've been hanging around in !ukcasual@lemmy.world since both my and its very first day here on Lemmy. Like the name suggests, basically just casual UK chatter without the scourge of politics. Lots of moaning about the weather.
!discworld@lemmy.ml could do with more Pratchett fans finding it, it's been pretty dead for the last month (not entirely surprising though as the subreddit wasn't huge either).
And another shoutout to !anarchychess@sopuli.xyz because LOL.
Other than the ones we mod, you mean? 🤭
I might be a little biased but I agree
Holy hell
Idiotaincars
the one that is up
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world
As a cross stitcher - !lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works
But if a plug but !astrophotography@lemmy.world if you like space pics taken by amateurs
!internetisbeautiful@feddit.de for interesting and fun sites folks have come across.
I'm a fellow Malaysian, so this one's country-specific: !cafe@monyet.cc. A chill and free-for-all chat, and nice to get a little hit of the Malaysian vibe while living away from home.
Asklemmy@lemmy.ml 😉 and 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone
!connectasong@lemmy.world is pretty fun. Just be sure to sort by new.
cyph3rPunk, for sure. ;)
Shameless self plug 👀
/c/Ereader_community@lemmy.ml
!Ereader_community@lemmy.ml
Fixed link
!league@lemmy.ml just ain't there yet.
Those who end by lemmynsfw ʘ‿ʘ
Shitposting and 196
1 community, 9 posts, 6 comments?
THey probably mean !shitposting@lemmygrad.ml or !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world
For 196, there's !196@lemmy.world and !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone
The last two (shitpost@lemmy.world, blahaj) are both very active.
Popheads circle jerk, where it's just my soapbox of shitty memes! 😍
Obviously biased, but c/breadtube for is my go to for left video content and discussion.
- BreadTube
- !BreadTube@lemmy.world

Good effort, bot.
