Active communities promotion thread

  !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

  !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!

  • Gamers_Mate@kbin.run ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I did not expect !beds to be about Bedfordshire. I assumed it was furniture related.

    source

    • i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I was going to put Bedfordshire in brackets next to that, but I forgot. I knew it could cause confusion!

    Were the community rules copied straight out of Reddit or something? 3 and 9 are a bit funny.

    source

    • Blaze@reddthat.com ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      9 has been updated (the original one is “no link to Reddit”), but 3 is indeed funny

      source
    • meldrik@lemmy.wtf ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      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

  !historyporn@lemmy.world

  source

  • e0qdk@reddthat.com ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    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.

    source

    • Blaze@reddthat.com ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      HistoryMemes@kbin.social

      Very good point. I just had a look at 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.

    source

    • sunaurus@lemm.ee ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      They are basically local-only communities on lemmy.world at this point, unfortunately

    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?

    source

    • sunaurus@lemm.ee ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      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.

  !superbowl@lemmy.world (yes this is an animal community)

• JaymesRS@literature.cafe ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  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 or read myself and really enjoyed 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.

  !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!

  source

  • ericjmorey@discuss.online ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    You’ve been doing great with that community, I hope more people get in there.

  Shamelessly promoting my community again: !homebrewing@sopuli.xyz

  It averages about 1 post per week but it certainly isn’t dead.

  source

  • Blaze@reddthat.com ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Stumbled upon it randomly the other day, it’s pretty cool!

    source

    • plactagonic@sopuli.xyz ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      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.

  @Blaze
  On my instance there is 3 active communities, I am not admin in any of them but i think they're pretty cool

  !Firefox - Community dedicated to the firefox browser
  !FirefoxCSS - Community dedicated to the customization of Firefox
  !FloatingIsFun - Got very cool CSS and looks pretty and customized, dedicated to art and pics of floating things

  source

  • Blaze@reddthat.com ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Thank you for your comment. I really like the !floatingisfun one, it looks even better with the custom CSS!

    source
  • hitstun@fedia.io ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    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 - I comment my puzzle results in there everyday
    !news - Good reliable world news that covers important events
    !usnews - I'm American and this is better than most of our news outlets
    !comicstrips - Good single-serving comics in my feed
    !vgmusic - Sometimes I throw video game music at them
    @MentalEdge - Not a community, but I end up following MentalEdge to a lot of the communities they frequent

  !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.

  !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.

  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?

    source

    • SorteKanin@feddit.dk ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      The most active is probably the news community, !nyheder@feddit.dk with 80 active users per week according to the sidebar.

    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? :)
