Active communities promotion thread
Active communities promotion thread
Hello,
As everybody knows, content discovery on Lemmy can sometimes be a bit tricky.
To help smaller communities to get more activity, I launch this thread for people to promote the communities they are active one.
One important criteria: please only promote communities that have been at least one post in the last 7 days. And if there is none, feel free to post there and then promote it here!
This could be a weekly thread, but let's see how it goes
Finally, !newcommunities@lemmy.world and !communitypromo@lemmy.ca are communities that you can subscribe to to see updates about communities
!cyberpunk@lemmy.zip - mostly games, movies, shows, and music in the cyberpunk sci-fi genre
!wavemusic@lemmy.world - music: synthwave, vaporwave, etc. A fairly new community, a couple different people have been posting
!gothindustrial@lemmy.world - music community. I was hoping someone else would make the 300th post, if not I'll post something later today.
!fullmoviesonyoutube@lemm.ee - a larger community, a couple of us are posting regularly, but could use more discussion
!fedigrow@lemm.ee - a community about how to help grow the fediverse. @Blaze@reddthat.com has been posting a weekly thread on "how is your [niche] community doing?" which is kind of like a support group for people keeping communities alive
edit: how could I forget, !shortstories@literature.cafe - links to short stories online in all genres
Interesting list, thanks!
- !imaginaryfairies@lemmings.world
- !yoursinclair@retrolemmy.com
- !britishcomedy@feddit.uk
- !beds@feddit.uk
- !raining@sh.itjust.works
I think the rest of my communities haven't seen activity lately, so I'll have to post in them first!
For those situations where all you can say is wtf?!:
Didn't know about this one, thanks!
Were the community rules copied straight out of Reddit or something? 3 and 9 are a bit funny.
9 has been updated (the original one is "no link to Reddit"), but 3 is indeed funny
Pretty sure it was copied from the subreddit, back when the community was created 😅
Some casual history promotion
!RoughRomanMemes@kbin.social
!HistoryMemes@kbin.social
!HistoryArtifacts@kbin.social
!HistoryDrawings@kbin.social
!HistoryRuins@kbin.social
kbin.social has been totally down for a while. I don't think your posts are actually federating when you post into a kbin.social magazine right now; the votes you are getting are probably from other lemmy.world users only.
HistoryMemes@kbin.social
Very good point. I just had a look at https://lemm.ee/c/HistoryMemes@kbin.social, and despite having 34 local subscribers (visible in the sidebar), the newest post are from 2 months ago.
@PugJesus@lemmy.world, you might have been posting only for LW users for a while :-/
These are all excellent communities, and invariably some of my favorite posts of the day. I'm seeing them on lemmy.world, btw.
Hello,
Thank you for sharing.
I clicked on the two first ones, and the last posts seem to be from 28 days ago (the OP suggested to only post communities with at least a post in the last 7 days), and the kbin.social link sends to an error page.
Are you planning to move those communities to another instance?
Edit: federation issue on my side
Edit2: It might indeed be an issue, see other comments
Both of them have upvoted posts in the past 15 hours.

I think it's not really on your side, most likely either just something wrong on kbin.social itself, OR a side-effect of the measures lemmy.world implemented against kbin.social recently.
For interesting/science stuff
If you enjoy reading, !Books@Lemmy.world is pretty active place to discuss what you’re reading and review it or get recommendations.
I try to post significant price drops routinely to !ebookdeals@literature.cafe as well. I mostly post ones that I have heard good things about / read myself and really enjoyed and are valid at all 3 big US ebook retailers, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon at the same time or Humble Bundles. There’s no rule against others posting deals they endorse for other regions or other books, I just wanted to avoid it being a firehouse of spammy links and I only shop US Stores.
Some shameless self plugs 😛:
Subscribed to Imaginary Witches, thanks!
Welcome! 🤗
!learningrustandlemmy@lemmy.ml
It’s for learning rust (the programming language) and the lemmy code base itself as a sort of “reading club”. If you’re the type of person who might be interested there’s a good chance you’ve heard of it already. We’re currently working through The Book (conventional learning resource) through a couple of Twitch streams and regular posts/discussions.
More collaborative learning activity is plenty welcome!
You've been doing great with that community, I hope more people get in there.
Cheers! Huuuge amount of credit goes to sorrybookbroke and jayjader running their twitch streams every week!
For movies, TV and animation
Shamelessly promoting my community again: !homebrewing@sopuli.xyz
It averages about 1 post per week but it certainly isn't dead.
Stumbled upon it randomly the other day, it's pretty cool!
I am glad that you like it. It would be nice to have little more traffic but post quality is more important so I can't complain.
- !2007scape@lemmy.world for OSRS
- !birds@lemmy.world for birds
- !illegallysmolbirbs@mander.xyz for small birds
Thanks for sharing!
The last one is cute, but last post seems to be from 23 days ago
Why birds and not !birding@lemmy.world ?
"Imaginary" content
- !imaginary@reddthat.com
- !lemmydirectory@lemmy.dbzer0.com for the directory of communities
!musicmashups@lemmy.world - Post your favorite and best music mashups.
!standupcomedy@lemmy.world - This community is a place for stand-up comedy videos, shorts, gifs (with audio,) news, and discussion.
!shirtsthatgohard@lemmy.world - Basically for shirts that you think go hard. That can mean many things but it comes down to what you think stands out.
Stick enthusiasts !stick@sh.itjust.works
Well I guess !climate@slrpnk.net !energy@slrpnk.net and !technology@slrpnk.net are already quite well known.
!balconygardening@slrpnk.net and !inperson@slrpnk.net are kinda cool as well. In general have a look at our community list, we have some good ones that are at least reasonably active.
@Blaze@reddthat.com On my instance there is 3 active communities, I am not admin in any of them but i think they're pretty cool
!Firefox@fedia.io - Community dedicated to the firefox browser !FirefoxCSS@fedia.io - Community dedicated to the customization of Firefox !FloatingIsFun@fedia.io - Got very cool CSS and looks pretty and customized, dedicated to art and pics of floating things
Thank you for your comment. I really like the !floatingisfun one, it looks even better with the custom CSS!
Cool! Thanks for the Floating Is Fun shout out! I wish that CSS would federate to other instances, even if it's just a header image like Lemmy communities get. You Lemmy users can still use interfaces like Photon and Voyager, and it looks great on those.
As for me, I like these ones: !wordle@lemmy.world - I comment my puzzle results in there everyday !news@beehaw.org - Good reliable world news that covers important events !usnews@beehaw.org - I'm American and this is better than most of our news outlets !comicstrips@lemmy.world - Good single-serving comics in my feed !vgmusic@lemmy.world - Sometimes I throw video game music at them @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz - Not a community, but I end up following MentalEdge to a lot of the communities they frequent
For fans of outdoor cooking, especially with this versatile pellet grill …. !traeger@lemmy.world(https://lemmy.world/c/traeger)
I just got one of these grills and am learning about smoking - let’s help each other out, appreciate each others efforts, and cook some feasts
Europe specific
- !europe@feddit.org for news
- !yurop@lemm.ee for casual conversations
Film photography: !analog@lemmy.world
Dragons! !imaginarydragons@leminal.space
!right2repair@discuss.tchncs.de you think companies preventing you from repairing your stuff is BS?
There is !fixing@slrpnk.net, maybe you can promote your community there?
If you understand Danish, any of the communities on Feddit.dk should be interesting... But otherwise they probably aren't :P
Makes sense! How many people are usually active on your communities, per week for instance?
The most active is probably the news community, !nyheder@feddit.dk with 80 active users per week according to the sidebar. I think a good portion of them are users on external instances.
For casual discussions and real life topics
Spanish-speaking communities
Gonna add some:
Funny Animals being Stupid !animalsbeingderps@lemmy.world
Animals with “Jobs” (Cute Pics) !animalswithjobs@lemmy.world
Home Aquariums.
!aquariums@lemmy.worldAnarcho Primitivism (is mostly dead, maybe we can revive?) (Political Ideology) !anarcho_primitivism@lemmy.world
Anti Consumerism.
!anticonsumption@slrpnk.netMaybe make it a monthly thing on the first or last day of the month?
I'm a bit biased but I like !eric_posts_urls@discuss.online
Can I just post my whole instance 🤣

Hello,
Thank you for the list, but you might have missed this from the OP:
One important criteria: please only promote communities that have been at least one post in the last 7 days. And if there is none, feel free to post there and then promote it here!
Could you please only post communities that fit this criteria? :)
