Just curious to see what communities you would like to see more engagement in.
Here’s a couple I joined but it’s been pretty quiet:
!kava@lemmy.ml !deadmalls@lemmy.world

A loosely moderated place to ask open-ended questions
If your post meets the following criteria, it’s welcome here!
- Open-ended question
- Not offensive: at this point, we do not have the bandwidth to moderate overtly political discussions. Assume best intent and be excellent to each other.
- Not regarding using or support for Lemmy: context, see the list of support communities and tools for finding communities below
- Not ad nauseam inducing: please make sure it is a question that would be new to most members
- An actual topic of discussion
Looking for support?
Looking for a community?
- Lemmyverse: community search
- sub.rehab: maps old subreddits to fediverse options, marks official as such

I like this idea. We should make a topic like this every month or so, maybe in the fediverse community, too. Discoverability is so hard on the fediverse.
Agreed, an occasional ‘niche community spotlight’ post to different meta communities would be great. I’ve found heaps here I had no idea existed!
The old subreddit r/bestof was great for finding niche communities on Reddit. Maybe a Lemmy version could exist, but aimed specifically at highlighting niche communities and their content?
we do have !newcommunities@lemmy.world
There is also !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl and this was posted the other day: https://stirante.github.io/lemmy-discover/
There was the subreddit of the day on reddit that was cool to see smaller or obscure ones highlighted. Something like that would be nice on here as well.
!mst3k@lemmy.world
Had a pretty good following on the website that shall remain nameless, only a handful of people made it over here though.
What is this community about???
I usually try to populate the main ones, even popular ones such as !comicstrips@lemmy.world or !europe@feddit.de don’t have that much content.
I’m taking those two as examples because comicstrips usually makes it to Top of All when content is posted, and Europe is potentially appealing to a large audience (326 users a week)
I would love to see more comics on Lemmy. I’ve been using an RSS feed for them
If think in that case using a bot would make sense
Yea it might work pretty well, with an option for creators to request that the bot stop pulling their content. The feed reader already pulls the image, title and link, so it shouldn’t be hard for someone to set it up to automatically post
My favorite cat sub, !scrungycats@lemmy.world.
I created !onskates@lemmy.graz.social, a community for quad & inline skating. So far there was only a single post from someone other than me. 🥲
I’d also like to go much more niche with a community specifically for wizard skating. But considering the limited popularity of skating communities, there is no need to hurry creating that one.
I’ll contribute! I ride urban skates myself and have been on ice and inline skates since childhood.
@smeikx Same with @rollerblading. The sub is pretty big on reddit, but no one is looking for it here, apparently.
@luthis
Can’t go the community. “Page not found” for me
Edit: Sorry. It was a Summit error. Works fine on Sync
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/gWsZYBCc56Q
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Never heard of wizard skating, watching the video now! Pretty interesting.
I went the BMX route, but my flatmate has always wanted to get back into rolling the blades.
!sbcgaming@lemmy.ml, used to explore it daily on that other site, but now it hardly receives new posts :(
That’s a thing?! Closest is me half running xonotic on a rasp pi(fonts didn’t load)
Yes it is a thing, and it is a beautiful thing.
!graphicnovels@lemmy.world
I even posted pictures my entire collection some weeks ago to get things kickstarted but is no moving.
Dude! Definitely a community I’m interested in!
Sabes caules novelas graficos que tienen traducciones buenos en español?
Las hay a montones. Las de Alejandro Jorodowsky están todas en español por ejemplo.
Gracias!
Here are some
!theNightFeeling@lemmy.world - this community was quiet on Reddit as well, which was nice in it’s own way. It could use some more content though
the various animal communities, like !awwducational@lemmy.world
Just subbed to awwducational, love that it’s moderated by Nosferatu lol
Subbed to the night feeling!!
TheNightFeeling was my primary source of wallpapers on the other website. Thanks for mentioning this one.
I did the exact same, and it works great with dark mode style theming
Good taste, I’m already subbed to thenightfeeling!
Amazing! I’ll post some stuff eventually 😄
!imsorryjon@lemmy.world
Yay! So glad to see this again!!!
This was a fucked up place to learn about.
… I joined!
I created @insect_photography during the migration and it started off nicely. Activity has gone down though so be welcome to just check in if you’re interested or have something to share!
Really trying to get !geocaching@lemmy.world off the ground
Joined, I’ve been meaning to get into this since I first heard about it like a decade ago.
Most of the ones I created;
!teletext@fedia.io
!yoursinclair@fedia.io
!dtt@feddit.uk
!dabradio@feddit.uk
!beds@feddit.uk
!chiptune@fedia.io
!lemmings@lemmings.world
All of these are largely just me posting! The last two do get occasional posts from others.
Thanks for creating the Lemmings one!
Honestly? I’m just wondering why there is noone on league of legends related Communities like !league@lemmy.ml considering how active r/leagueoflegends was/is
Sadly most gaming communities transferred to Discord. Even lol subreddit is losing users.
When did Discord become a social network? I’ve only ever used it to talk with friends while playing.
As people got the hang of using Discord to make large, complex, moderated and bot assisted servers people communicate more heavily on there.
Discord moves too fast for me to want to use it that way, all conversations disappear rapidly on busy servers, but other people certainly do
I think the communities that moved there weren’t posting the same types of content. When someone wants to ask a question you just get an answer, no back and forth or debates needed. That doesn’t work when you’re posting a news articles looking for lively debate.
Electronic hobbyist pages for Arduino and Expressif microcontrollers for project help and showcasing protects people are working on:
!arduino@lemmy.ca
!esp32@lemmy.ml
oo helpful to have, thanks!
!battlestations@lemmy.ml has been pretty quiet… I miss looking at cool setups and vicariously imagining myself using them.
On a similar note, !buildapcsales@lemmy.ml to help turn your vicarious dreams into a reality.
Subscribed. This kind of community was an invaluable resource for me on my last build. I’ll post any sales I come across.
Awesome!
Joined and posted!
