/r/AskHistorians had (ok, still has) such a standard. would be amazing to see more of that
Forgive me if I’m ignorant of something, but how would it be different from Wikipedia? Crowd-sourced information, cited and reviewed by peers? It has flaws, but no more than a Lemmy community would have.
Interestingly the Merovingian dynasty wiki page does have info on coinage but doesn’t mention the barter economy you describe so you might be able to contribute there if you’ve got the sources to back it up.

Science Fiction, amateur radio, electronics… and maybe some equivalent of the popular (popcorn) subreddits; damnthatsinteresting, wtf, showerthoughts, TIL.
Ultimately I don’t know yet. I’m hoping to see some new stuff that I didn’t think to look for. Any topic can be interesting if people are passionate and not toxic.
This. I participate in homebrewcomputers on reddit, would be nice to see something like that here, although the website is small enough that posting diy computer stuff in “Open Source” would probably be acceptable.
Agree with you on TIL and damnthatsinteresting i guess we’l see how things go forward from here
Thanks! Both of those give me “couldnt_find_community” 404 messages, but I’ve has some issues loading lemmy.ml, it might be my client.
Weird, these communities aren’t appearing when searching for them on beehaw. Yet they do in fact exist.
Actually I enjoyed to follow non-overthrow-related prepping stuff on reddit. I mean the subs where they present handy solutions for rather realistic problems and scenarios, not these where they romanticise a civil collapse, or extensive weapon hoarding and usage.
Also paintball, mag-fed paintball, archery, hiking and bushcrafting.
Something like /aww on reddit, I love animals.
Yeah Reddit was chock-full of cat subreddits, having those kinds of communities would greatly increase the appeal of Lemmy beyond tech, FOSS, politics and gaming.
On beehaw.org I’d love to see instant or analog photography, frugal, cats, transgender, amputee support
A leathercraft community would be the bees knees. Good place to share tips/tricks, ongoing projects, answer questions or seek advice, that sort of thing.
Something like ask mechanics and just rolled into the shop
I was looking for an RC car community like r/rccars on reddit, but I couldn’t find one so I created it myself. [email protected]
I really have enjoyed game-specific communities on Reddit in the past – Dragon Quest and Pokemon in particular; also the /tipofmytongue and /tipofmyjoystick were quite helpful. And /speedruns was super nice!
Also gardening and hot pepper growing; and since I live in Japan a place to discuss current events and life over here is also quite useful.
So … starting your own community is pretty straight forward here.
You get moderation powers too, that can be shared, even between users on different lemmy instances.
See, eg, https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/users/04-moderation.html
I decided to be the change I wish to see in the world and created the !kittyterminal community, thinking I might make one for announcing new communities too
- Cooking/Recipes
- Writing
- Podcasts
I moreso want two communites to be active again. [email protected] and [email protected]
Artistic ones, like music production, digital art, etc. maybe?
Skydiving ones
