Just curious how everyone operates to find replacements of subreddits! For instance, I’d love to find an MSP lemmy instance, as well as instances related to things like music festivals, fishing, offroading, colorado hiking, and a gang of other topics! I know I can search via keywords, but there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of active Lemmy instances for some of the more niche things I’m into. Any suggestions would be awesome!
The local aspect isn’t there for most of us.
As a somewhat regular user of the Colorado outdoors, I hope we get a Colorado Hike & Bike community. I know there’s at least a few of us because we’ve discussed Denver biking in the fuckcars community before.
As far as finding replacements, my advice is don’t limit yourself by platform when finding equivalents, but focus on the quality and type of the community.
To clarify,
Early on I kind of mapped centralized and federated social media pairs, Reddit-Lemmy, Facebook-Diaspora, Twitter-Mastadon, etc.
Turns out, that was a limiting mindset.
The best basket-weaving group might be a Mastadon hashtag. The best Lego minifigure painting content might be on Pixtagram, and we all know he best place to ask a question is not askreddit, but asklemmy!
