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

  • 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.

  • !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!

  • @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

  • 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.

    • 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? :)
