There is a lack of a single point where people can find an up-to-date list of
active and interesting communities, so I am trying to create something of the
sort. Please post any interesting communities in one of the 5 main post topics
(closest that matches, discussion on main topics can happen in the discussion
thread). Please keep the community suggestion and comments to no more than a
single sentence / no more than 100 characters to make potentially scrolling
through a list easier. Link format must be
[email protected]
[/c/
[email protected]] - example, to link to this community you would link
[email protected] [/c/
[email protected]] (other instance links are welcome!)
Community rules: 1. Be respectful of other users. Topic post rules: 1. Only post
link to communities in the topic posts, discussion should happen in the separate
discussion post. All discussion will be removed in the topic posts to make it
easy to find community links.
Is everyone 5 days behind LW? I don’t quite really grasp how exactly there is a 5 day lag, shouldn’t Lemmy be close to real time? I don’t fully understand what’s going on in those charts but it looks like the delay will be gone in a few weeks/months?
As far as hosting it on a different instance, this is just kinda a playful experiment. If it goes well anyone can copy the list and put it a version of it on their server.
I clicked 5 of the links in the lemmydirectory github/wiki list and all of them the last post was 1 year ago. That’s what kinda sucks about all the indexes is that they’re either the extremely popular communities which show up in the communities tab, or extremely dead communities. The goal is to get a list of extremely active smaller communities and without changing Lemmy source code myself, this is the next best thing I could think of to make a list like that.
Aussie.zone is, and a few other instances regularly have issues. The issues have been here for months, are not going to be fixed any time soon as the latest Lemmy version still has issues like the pictures one: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5196
Some additional details:
If we were to open an index community on let’s say lemmy.zip, known for their transparency and reactive management (https://lemmy.world/post/22643868), would you consider closing [email protected] and redirect to the new lemmy.zip community?
When two similar communities coexist, the LW version always dominates due to LW size, so the non-LW version is always struggling, and people don’t know where to post.
