Hi, I’m focusing on generating content for a few communities that I feel can be successful and have less content than I expected:
- [email protected]: a genre of retrofuturism based on the 70’s and 80’s (more info)
- [email protected]: cute invertebrates
- [email protected]: weird vehicles (with wheels)
- [email protected]: self-explanatory
EDIT: I did not create any of those communities
I would encourage anyone to participate if you like those topics.
Do you know any other niche-but-not-too-niche communities in which we could focus efforts?
Please, don’t post very long lists, I’m already subscribed to almost 300 communities and the idea is to focus on a few ones.
Thanks!
EDIT: Added descriptions for each community.
There’s the entire instance of sffa.community. It stands for Science Fiction Fantasy Alliance. I’d love to see it get off the ground. Right now it’s mostly just Brando Sando stuff. I’ve been considering maybe starting a community called SFFA Gaming, but I don’t have any content to actually contribute.
Posted one there, good luck!
I’m in. Thanks
Thanks! Great piece!
More hobbits are always welcome at: [email protected]
I’ve just created
Both can be very active communities once people are there
Cassettefurutism!! Man that one was so active on Reddit. The other one I miss is WeirdWings.
I’ll chime in with the communities in my new instance 4wd.social:
- [email protected] : pretty self explanatory. 4x4 related discussion.
- [email protected] : discussion dedicated to overlanding / 4wd touring
- [email protected] : DJI drone related discussion, photos or videos captured
I created [email protected], which has over 300 subscribers, but limited interaction.
Posted one there, good luck!
Thanks! Plenty good will and community on Lemmy :-)
That’s our only advantage over the big sites :)
I’ve been trying to participate in [email protected]. It had a decent sized community on Reddit and it would be great to have some weekly discussion here.
Good luck!
I don’t have much to contribute to that community… I had never heard of that game :/.
It’s a fun time-killer or toilet game, seemingly simple but with surprising depth for what it is. It’s free to try, if you’re interested.
[email protected] Only a handful of people posting.
Good luck!
I’m personally focusing on non-meme communities, but that’s just personal preference.
Isn’t [email protected] doing pretty good? I see it reaching top of All quite often
Indeed, that’s one of the most promising ones… and it still only has 2 or 3 posts a day :/.
I mean, people have lives too I guess :)
I didn’t mean that I expect the same user to be posting all day. If different users send 1 post each, they still should have a lot of time for other things :)
For sure, but I am at 500 posts on my main account, and to be honest posting so much content can sometimes be a bit tiring. I’m trying to get other people on my community to do it too but it’s not that easy.
posting so much content can sometimes be a bit tiring.
Agree. What I’m doing (in case it helps) is, instead of going for quantity, go for quality and try to focus the efforts on a few communities that interest me. That way I am posting about things I really like in just a few places and it doesn’t become a chore.
I’m trying to get other people on my community to do it too but it’s not that easy.
Indeed, it’s HARD. This is one of the reasons I haven’t created a community yet, it seems too much effort-VS-results-ratio. I know I’m taking the easy path because I’m not so invested in any specific community. So thanks to all of you who create and moderate all the communities.
Definitely!
I’d really love to see /c/[email protected] get off the ground
If you format the link as
!community@instance.tldit will be a clickable link (in this case it would be [email protected]).
Subbed! Though I’m not the contributing type, I love to see these kinds of posts
This seems like a good place to ask, but is there a handwriting or cursive community on the go yet? It’s my latest obsession, so I could see myself helping grow it.
I’ve searched around, but haven’t had any luck finding an existing communities
The two I see on a quick search are empty:
You can ask on [email protected]
What I found is a few related to fountain pens:
Thanks, I really appreciate you taking a look! I did already find those, but I don’t know anything about writing with ink. 😬
I’ll keep looking, as you suggest. Once I get a little more settled I may even start my own.
[email protected] and [email protected] are my personal niches, so if anyone’s interested please come over and get stuck in
I tuuuurn around and look at what I see!
The song is the only reason I’m forced to acknowledge that there are film adaptations of the book, but I have already ranted about that on the other comment thread :).
I’ve created and have been the only curator (so far) of [email protected]. My idea is to have a good set of ideas around the idea of human scale development, “smol tech” and anything that can give some relief to hyperglobalist and soulless worldview that is so prevalent today.
Thank you, 3 out of 4 interested me so I subbed :-)
I got only one on my own server, low posting, starting out with the legendary Gir “Moebius” works [email protected] and I’m working on one for “artistes en herbe” (artists on uh grass? It means us, people who like and try and have fun creating)
Cheers and long live Lemmy and the fediverse!
