i think lemmy is already the niche community. small comms over here usually turn out to be empty.
ill let you guys exchange them in peace anyway, maybe some of them get a boost.
Ya, I think the key is not to focus on niche communities, but more generic communities. e.g., someone mentioned a dead Morrowind community, but it’s probably better to invest in a more generic gaming or maybe even pcgaming community.
Lemmy just isn’t that big and can’t support many niche communities.
That being said, I definitely see some niche communities regularly popup in my feed, so there are some active ones!
lets contribute more to them! a federated model in this world of ours will be much better for us than facebook and twitter and google so id love to nurture some kickass comms in here! id love to see it genuinely replace reddit even with the bad that will come with it too.
do you like any of the small ones? which ones? i wanted to be actually necessary when posting to one so i havent yet but i want to find the right one i can spam with stuff i love.
Well, I started watching Star Trek TOS so I would get more of the memes on tenforward@lemmy.world 😅.
I do like to browse by all instead of subscribed, which is a good way to discover more communities. Of course, I do have to block a lot of communities to avoid stuff I’m not interested in… which is basically just stuff in languages I don’t understand and furries (speaking of niche communities, plenty of those). But I even enjoy seeing local posts from places in another country.
yeah you use lemmy pretty much the same way i do although im not that into star trek just yet. but im a commie linux nerd so that must count for some lemmy street cred?
i do browse by all but holy furries, man. i’m looking for a buried comm i can come to sperg out on and ressurrect.
If you do want to get into it, I suggest starting with Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks.
i will take a look at both as soon as im bored for something to watch again
Can I post a request?
When I was on TOS (the other site) there was a bunch of active parenting forums. Even down to the specific month and year your child was born. I’ve missed that community with other parents here. Does it exist? I will settle for more general if there’s activity.
Also any active finance / FIRE communities here?
Someone should start a thread about what communities we miss most (if there isn’t one already)
Agree. I miss not having an eGPU and a piercing community on Lemmy
Here, you’d barely get enough people to fill a parenting forum.
I think you would get enough though. Lemmy seems to skew older and and based on what I’ve seen a fair number of people have kids.
I can think of someone who would probably be game to mod it, but he’s a bit notorious for continuing somewhat silly arguments on occasion…
!parenting@lemmy.world is pretty active. Doesn’t get a huge amount of discussion threads but when someone starts one they always have plenty of responses.
Imagine being afraid of using a name. I thought Rowling made that shit up.
I’d love to find a cooking community, specifically for healthy and/or vegan recipes and techniques.
edit: I actually mean plant based, not vegan.
Link didn’t work for me. Try this one. https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/unix_surrealism
Try screaming “UNIX SURREALISM” at your phone
woah that actually worked
Thank you!
Thank you for catching that.
Thanks!
I really like that one
Just spamming my group here.
Not a specific one, but join your local city/town/state community! There’s lots of cool stuff to learn about your local area, you just have to find it.
Mine is basically dead. One person periodically posts a news article but no one comments.
Content is a shared adventure! My local community is a bit less than dead but it’s not super active either, so I make it a point to leave comments and submit new relevant links
How do you find it though
Ooooh, kinky!Nevermind
Lol
I’ll always pitch the couple that I help push.
!satisfactory@lemmy.world for all of you pioneers out there
!taylorswift@poptalk.scrubbles.tech for the fedi swifties!
The Morrowind one is dead sadly :/
That community made me buy Morrowind cause I wanted involved. But the moding tools for openmw suck. Installing mods one by one is something I don’t have the patience for. Maybe I’m just spoiled from prisim launcher for Minecraft
Fair enough. I myself mainly only mess around with larger mods anyways just to add content. I used to have a bunch of dlc sized mods on my last skyrim playthrough, shit was crazy 😂
What’s the Morrowind one?
I just started playing
Morrowinds goated as hell youre in for one of the best stories a game has ever told you brah mark my words. I finally just finished it (with the dlcs) a couple days ago and im making another setup for the game with a bunch of mods so i can either replay it rn, or replay it after i play oblivion for the second time :3
Time is money, and this format of teaching/learning is my favorite. Please post here, I’m all alone.
