Just curious to see what communities you would like to see more engagement in.
Here’s a couple I joined but it’s been pretty quiet:
I like this idea. We should make a topic like this every month or so, maybe in the fediverse community, too. Discoverability is so hard on the fediverse.
Agreed, an occasional ‘niche community spotlight’ post to different meta communities would be great. I’ve found heaps here I had no idea existed!
The old subreddit r/bestof was great for finding niche communities. Maybe a Lemmy version could exist, but aimed specifically at highlighting niche communities and their content?
we do have [email protected]
There is also [email protected] and this was posted the other day: https://stirante.github.io/lemmy-discover/
There was the subreddit of the day on reddit that was cool to see smaller or obscure ones highlighted. Something like that would be nice on here as well.
I usually try to populate the main ones, even popular ones such as [email protected] or [email protected] don’t have that much content.
I’m taking those two as examples because comicstrips usually makes it to Top of All when content is posted, and Europe is potentially appealing to a large audience (326 users a week)
I would love to see more comics on Lemmy. I’ve been using an RSS feed for them
If think in that case using a bot would make sense
Yea it might work pretty well, with an option for creators to request that the bot stop pulling their content. The feed reader already pulls the image, title and link, so it shouldn’t be hard for someone to set it up to automatically post

What is this community about???
Mystery Science Theatre 3000, like the original reaction videos. A cast of silly people/robot puppets watch a movie and comment on it.
Most of the ones I created;
All of these are largely just me posting! The last two do get occasional posts from others.
Thanks for creating the Lemmings one!
Here are some
-
[email protected] - this community was quiet on Reddit as well, which was nice in it’s own way. It could use some more content though
-
the various animal communities, like [email protected]
TheNightFeeling was my primary source of wallpapers on the other website. Thanks for mentioning this one.
I did the exact same, and it works great with dark mode style theming
Good taste, I’m already subbed to thenightfeeling!
Amazing! I’ll post some stuff eventually 😄

Really trying to get [email protected] off the ground
Joined, I’ve been meaning to get into this since I first heard about it like a decade ago.
[email protected], used to explore it daily on that other site, but now it hardly receives new posts :(
That’s a thing?! Closest is me half running xonotic on a rasp pi(fonts didn’t load)
Yes it is a thing, and it is a beautiful thing.
I created [email protected], a community for quad & inline skating. So far there was only a single post from someone other than me. 🥲
I’d also like to go much more niche with a community specifically for wizard skating. But considering the limited popularity of skating communities, there is no need to hurry creating that one.
I’ll contribute! I ride urban skates myself and have been on ice and inline skates since childhood.
@smeikx Same with @rollerblading. The sub is pretty big on reddit, but no one is looking for it here, apparently.
Can’t go the community. “Page not found” for me
Edit: Sorry. It was a Summit error. Works fine on Sync
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/gWsZYBCc56Q
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Never heard of wizard skating, watching the video now! Pretty interesting.
I went the BMX route, but my flatmate has always wanted to get back into rolling the blades.
My favorite cat sub, [email protected].
There are not enough single game focused communities, and the ones that do exist either have nobody in them, or are just bots spamming low-effort content that don’t garner discussion.
Electronic hobbyist pages for Arduino and Expressif microcontrollers for project help and showcasing protects people are working on:
oo helpful to have, thanks!
Yay! So glad to see this again!!!
This was a fucked up place to learn about.
… I joined!
Honestly? I’m just wondering why there is noone on league of legends related Communities like [email protected] considering how active r/leagueoflegends was/is
Sadly most gaming communities transferred to Discord. Even lol subreddit is losing users.
When did Discord become a social network? I’ve only ever used it to talk with friends while playing.
As people got the hang of using Discord to make large, complex, moderated and bot assisted servers people communicate more heavily on there.
Discord moves too fast for me to want to use it that way, all conversations disappear rapidly on busy servers, but other people certainly do
I think the communities that moved there weren’t posting the same types of content. When someone wants to ask a question you just get an answer, no back and forth or debates needed. That doesn’t work when you’re posting a news articles looking for lively debate.
I created @insect_photography during the migration and it started off nicely. Activity has gone down though so be welcome to just check in if you’re interested or have something to share!
[email protected] has been pretty quiet… I miss looking at cool setups and vicariously imagining myself using them.
On a similar note, [email protected] to help turn your vicarious dreams into a reality.
Subscribed. This kind of community was an invaluable resource for me on my last build.
Awesome!
