Ideally your answer is a sub that you are currently posting to but few others are posting to.
The dragon communities

[email protected]I’m active on one but not the others, and I have a semblance of a plan.
i used to think dragons were cool before Drag came along
Still are, that dumbstick doesn’t change that
I miss standupcomedy and evilautistm but I’m not running them.
There’s also [email protected]
and subbed.
[email protected] seems more active
aww
May be too specific but have been inconsistently trying to get [email protected] going as a community to find alternatives/similar stuff to what one likes.
It’s a riff on the old ifyoulikeblank subreddit without the initially unclear tagging requirements.
People comment, which is great, but few other posters.
looks fun
I was looking for something like this, thank you!
Fragrances UK for your perfume needs!
Male/masc feet pics. There is a dearth. And there is a silly default assumption that “feet pics” must always be female/femme and that really bothers me. Tho partly my fault for not contributing anything lately myself…
For anyone interested:
Good luck!
Thank you!
I still have a few reddit alts that I lurk with, at least until we get enough activity on Lemmy on those topics:
- Sports discussion, including specific leagues and teams
- Discussion about my specific local city (and maybe the other cities I frequently visit)
- Things relevant to my career/industry in law
- Economics and financial news
- Food and cooking
- Television shows and movies, including specific shows or narrow discussions
- Super specific hobbies and interests, not just the stuff I’m personally into, but also knowing that there’s a community around some other hobby so that there is lots of archived discussion where I can just click around and learn something new. For example, the most recent plane crashes in DC and Toronto, I went to the aviation community on Reddit to see what experienced professionals were saying about those things as the news broke.
Lemmy’s good on all the tech and science stuff I like, and most of the memes/humor that I’m looking for. It’s coming along on some mainstream interests, including the ones I’ve listed above, but still has a ways to go before the organic discussions reach the level of detail and expertise that reddit has. But it’s on the right track, and I’m optimistic about those things filling in over time.
Subreddit drama was pretty good for keeping track of drama in the space.
shitty ask reddit. In this case it’s called shitty ask hilarious chaos. We need more quality text shitposting participants.
Well I am hosting the [email protected] community, we welcome you!
The ones I miss are the local city sub, haircare/curly hair, and the nonsexual nude threads, normal nudes and naked progress, and the draw me nsfw.
Just subbed, I love a good cocktail. Second that it would be good to have a version of /r/normalnudes on Lemmy.
I just subscribed to cocktails. Thanks for putting that together.
I said this before but we need an internet friend finding community like r/makenewfriendshere and r/needafriend
[email protected] This community was abandoned, until I decided to become mod and give it some life(Guides and posts). There was some activity the past month, still nothing like the subreddit one, and it has 2k subs.
Have you ever considered moving it off lemmy.ml to another instance? Some people avoid lemmy.ml (https://feddit.nl/post/16246531)
Also, feel free to join us on [email protected]
Yea I know about lemmy.ml, I also heard that they don’t like mods from other instances to mod their communities, yet, I was made after requesting it. I could move it yea, will think and do. thanks for the community!
I tried to make /r/asksciencefiction around the time of the API exodus from reddit. It got a bunch of initial traffic and even got the attention of the mods of the actual subreddit but ultimately I guess they decided to stay on reddit rather than encourage people to go to Lemmy. Anyway, the traffic has slowed to basically nothing and I’ve kind of lost interest in moderating it, not that it really needs it anyway since the community is like 20 users per month.
Would it make sense to consolidate with [email protected] ?
After taking a look at that community, not quite since it’s not strictly limited to the science fiction genre. Asksciencefiction is kind of a weird amalgam of subreddits which makes it hard to categorize. Think about the format of the Q&A sub /r/askscience and then tack on /r/fiction. It was more of a roleplaying subreddit than anything. Sometimes there’d be serious discussions, but the best replies were always from people who were roleplaying as people living in the fictional universe.
There is an on-going discussion on [email protected] about how we should maybe aim for more generalist communities rather than niche ones.
Maybe the AskScienceFiction niche could fit into the general sciencefiction community. Up to you
asksciencefiction is about fantasy as much as it is about sci-fi, and about other fiction as well. it’s for silly questions like “could Shaggy & Scooby have taken the ring to Mordor?” i would think that would make it a bad fit, but who knows.
