Let's find some new communities!

This is a bot-fed community for finding new communities to subscribe to.

The bot's list is based on reading lemmyverse.net, sorting the resulting communities by (MAU divided by subscriber count), and posting the highest-ranking one that hasn't yet been printed.

It also reads Mbin and Piefed communities.

Enjoy!

Hey everyone. I thought it would be nice to keep a running list of generally high-quality communities available on Lemmy.

Probably I'm not the first person who has thought of this, but I haven't actually seen one. If this is useful, let me know, and I can keep it updated, or let me know any additions you think would be useful.

No /c/TenForward

I am insulted

I have addressed the oversight, I beg forgiveness.

This is one of the most savvy and well-argued pieces of media criticism (which I would argue applies to a whole lot of big-budget media in the present day) I have seen this year, I almost feel bad putting the community that produced it in the "randomness" category.

I was just giving you shit, don't worry lol

And thank you lol I love that post. People get so butthurt over discovery which is why I made that post in the first place.

I love my silly shithole

Going to refer to that post with the 20 active communities that are not news, politics, tech or memes: https://feddit.org/post/6554534

That's excellent, I added some of these.

Great!

Edit: I just see !casualconversation@lemm.ee potentially missing

There's also !funny@sh.itjust.works which could be interesting to add

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Done. That's an extremely rare example, as far as I can tell, of a "funny" community that is actually entertaining. IDK if this is just prejudice left over from what happened to the Reddit one, but I normally don't enjoy them even a little bit. But I like that one.

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 1 points 4 months ago

We really do our best to post actually funny content, especially compared to the memes community that tend to be political opinions hidden

Great list! Can you add:

!WomensStuff@lazysoci.al

!Dadforaminute@lemmy.world

Womens is for all things women, dad is for support on practical and emotional stuff you need a dad for.

MEMES, SOCIAL MEDIA REPOSTS, AND HUMOR (NON-POLITICAL)

Most of these are currently active. (except for the ones with a * which were less active last I checked). Sometimes politics sneaks in but that's not the focus.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago

That's... A lot of memes
