Ideally your answer is a sub that you are currently posting to but few others are posting to.
The dragon communities
!dragons@pawb.social
!dragonswithjobs@pawb.social
!imaginarydragons@leminal.space
!wingsoffire@lemmy.worldI’m active on one but not the others, and I have a semblance of a plan.
i used to think dragons were cool before Drag came along
Still are, that dumbstick doesn’t change that

We’re going to be emulating the original subreddit, but I missed my witchy coven and recently became a mod
Idk about the apps, but on the website a direct link like that takes me to another instance, so I can’t subscribe (without making an account on that instance). If you do the shortlink, it takes everyone to the community via their own instance:
Oh thanks! I just copied what my client gave me
I love these kind of memes and try to actively post for a while now. I need to ask my Canadian friends at one point if I can mod that community, the only moderator is absent for a very long time now…
Love your posts there. Keep it up brethren 🫶🏽
oh I loved that sub in reddit! cool beans
Oh wow, I did not know I needed this in my life! New sub here.
!gamedev@lemmy.world - I took it over several months ago and have tried to regularly share news that is relevant to developers and hobbyists. I think I’ve done an okay job, but it’s still pretty low in search results when you search “gamedev Lemmy”. While posts get a few upvotes, and some comments, almost no one else posts there.
The thing is, I like the Reddit r/gamedev community just fine and still visit it. I just don’t trust Reddit as a company. So this is my way of trying to facilitate a healthy option, and follow the adage of “the grass is greener where you water it”.
So if you’re into video game development and the industry around it, feel free to join!
Just subbed!
Appreciate it; I hope it’s worth your while!
Feel free to promote it on ! communitypromo@lemmy.ca
Done, thanks!
Basically every regional community. Think towns and states. Those were some of my favorite communities to engage with
we gotta start broad and move local only as the population grows. so for example instead of Columbus you gotta start with Ohio. maybe Pittsburgh can hang out too
I came here to voice this opinion as well. It’s one of the only things I miss about the other site. I have found people on Mastodon attempting to fill that void with regional hashtags though. YMMV.
I’m trying to push a jump in userbase for the tabletop hobby centric communities on LW. I had modded the 40k community for a while, and just took on the tabletop minis community. I post content from blogs I subscribe to and as much of my original content as I can make, but I’d really like to see more growth as an alternative Reddit like space online that isn’t as totally captured by the Games Workshop financial ecosystem.
The art share community has been growing which is great to see but still not as much traffic as it could have.
I took over the dead Star Wars community and have tried to shape it as much as possible towards a place online that actually talks about Star Wars rather than infighting and complaining about other peoples’ taste of Star Wars.
Other spaces here like the airsoft community are pretty dead, though I try as much as possible to post when I can.
There is also the historical US Civil War community. I like history in general, and the U.S. Civil War has become a natural fit for me since in real life I often travel to places where I can go to related historical sites.
The Fallout community has taken off more than most gaming communities but still is pretty niche
Subbed tonthe Civil War forum, thanks for the tip.
Feel free to join us on !fedigrow@lemm.ee
One of my favourite things on Reddit was movie discussions. I’ve joined a bunch of movie communities with !movies@lemm.ee being the most active but I would love if more people were on it!
who doesn’t like movies!
We’re trying our best
Support groups are something I want to see grow on Lemmy. Anything from abuse, to mental health to chronic illness or addictions. There should also be a way to protect those communities from ableist trolls, a theoretical door so that not just anyone can see the feed. I think it’s important to have that door, because there are people who no matter what you say, they will never have empathy or understanding for people going through those challenges. They will always find a way to convince themselves the person isn’t worthy of empathy or respect. They will try to do harm, and so they should just be blocked out. I’ve sadly already encountered a bit of that on Lemmy.
But I will be honest, I don’t have a plan of action laid out, I’m just throwing it out there. We saw some major platforms become null and unsafe. We should work to reestablish a safe space for folks dealing with those problems. It’s even more important now while we’re going through this breath-takingly crappy year. I myself do not have the skills or energy to moderate one of these groups. It would just be good to work toward having more of those here eventually.
Edit: It would also be cool if we could be more thorough about keeping out troll communities, prevent or discourage them from taking root here. For example fakedisordercringe on Reddit was a vile place. The redpill communities were bad too.

I’m the only poster but don’t want to spam too much and look like a scammer.
Even though I’m probably never gonna contribute, I hope this takes off.

A fediverse successor to Tumblr’s FuckYourNoguchiTable blog and Reddit’s r/FuckYourEamesLounge. Interior design appreciation, (light) shitposting, and discussion beyond basic MCM staples.

Thanks! I’d like to post more regularly on my part but just dropping images from mobile feels lazy and I haven’t had much time in front of my desktop to properly format posts recently. Hope to see you there!
I miss houseplant content
do we have a gardening subreddit? surely they also have some plants indoors
Imma go through and try to post in every one I have relevant knowledge / experience in…
I need to start up a good one for nurses / healthcare workers again on this server (sh has the right vibe for it too) but getting enough people on board for that is always tough. It’s good to have a vent space though because in the nicest way possible 90% of you do not understand hospital ettiquette at ALL (which like, fair, but DAMN).
you know what, I wouldn’t mind a space like that for general healthcare workers or people in the helping professions. I’m in behavioral health but it’s gonna take ages to get that kind of community here. might have to band together under a bigger umbrella. at least we all kinda know what DC d/t NC Bx in f/u UDS means
omg I’m a psych nurse specifically LOL
Imo you just need to set it up so it’s nice and presentable and then do agitprop back in the old country when spez implements another one of his incredible ideas.
I’m looking forward to our first proper mystery like The Most Mysterious Song On The Internet or Celebrity Number Six. We’ll know the Fediverse has 5 years to live max when this becomes the place to post that kind of thing.
I think the ‘Nicole’ saga is our first instance.
And look how well it went.
Not trying to remake it, because i already have a full time job being self employee and having ADHD
I go back to Reddit weekly to check in with r/locksmith, r/lockshop, and r/accesscontrols
There’s a wealth of knowledge to pull from there that Lemmy just can’t duplicate right now
