Honestly this one is one of the top because there’s a wide variety of questions that are genuinely interesting. Compared to a rotating daily question type with rotating predictable responses
I agree to be fair, I mean from what I’ve seen so far everything is genuinely interesting compared to the type of stuff you’d get on the likes of Reddit.
“Sexiest females of Reddit: What is the sexiest sex you’ve ever sexed?” God I hated those questions.
Then you would sort by new and every other question is worded the same way.
Honestly? Still haven’t found one.
The communities I’ve found are all fine, but I haven’t found any that are a tailor match for me. Every one so far has either been not quite my cup or a ghost town.
I’m mostly sticking to All and interacting with posts I like as I see them, with no real care given to what community they are from. Individual communities don’t have much for me, but all of Lemmy combined holds my interest decently well.
Fair enough, my thoughts are that as Lemmy gains more users and gets more features more and more content will be suited to more and more people.
Hopefully that made sense
Tbh I want places that don’t agree with me practically 100% of the time. I feel like there’s not much room for discourse here… be it about politics, religion, opinions about art/games, whatever
Maybe I’m just in the wrong communities, or the wrong instance. Because it is there, but it’s a lot harder to find than on Reddit
There’s definitely an interesting demographic around here. I’ve been dog piled by tankies who don’t like my opinion, but it’s to be expected. I don’t mind it. As long as my comments aren’t deleted, I can take the downvotes.
As long as my comments aren’t deleted
This is the main reason I stay here. Shit like the r/DarkSouls mods shadowbanning everyone who criticizes DS2…
I didn’t realize how corrupt and controlled everything on Reddit was until I looked at my shadow-deleted comments on Reveddit
Same! I realized everything I had posted to the Canada sub had been shadow deleted. What does it say about a narrative if you have to delete all and any opossition. It means it’s not actual popular or common.
Much like on reddit, I love !SuperbOwl@lemmy.world
Love that one! The amount of toilets in places they should not be is terrifying. Combined bathrooms/kitchens… why…
The amount of carpet in wet locations 🤢
Ok, this is my new favorite community
I’ve gotten a lot of joy out of !webcomics@lemmy.ml and !comics@lemmy.ml
Also !thefarside@sh.itjust.works and !calvinandhobbes@lemmy.world
Meant to include that one too. Thanks!
Risa by far
The Risa community seems by far one of the more participatory ones and their meme game is strong. But I am slowly seeing engagement go up on other subs. I’m patient.
Communities*
Ah, so !grammarnazis@lemm.ee
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !pixaraimemes@lemmy.ml
I don’t know if anyone monitors this bot, but is there a way to get a similarly generic link to a specific post?
There currently is no way. Though many front-ends do it automatically, including mlmym (old lemmy), voyager, and alexandrite.
Hmmm, lemdro.id hosts all of them and I tried them out but whenever I copy a post link it gives a link from the hosting instance.
It still appears to be a link to the original instance, but when you click it, it gets rewritten to be your instance.
Ah, so on the viewing end, not the posting end?
Yes, exactly. Otherwise it would only work for the poster and not all the viewers.
You’ll have to use an app like Sync or Jerboa for that
omg that is amazing lol
Shoutout to mander.xyz!
AskLemmy. Blows my mind how great it is for crowdsourcing questions
Big fan of !rpgmemes@ttrpg.network
An artist was posting a daily comic there for a while, which was the highlight of my Lemmy day.
This is a shameless plug (okay, there’s a little bit of shame) for a community I moderate. But I’m actually really happy that !hockey@lemmy.ca is started to get a decent number of posters that aren’t me!
Unsuprisingly !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com and !selfhosted@lemmy.world made the transition quite well.
The german communities didn’t transition quite as well as i hoped, but the like of !deutschland@feddit.de and !dach@feddit.de still see enough engagement to serve their purpose.
So i guess those are my favorites so far. Simply because they already function quite well.
Beyond that i am more of a Star Wars/Lotr guy, but i am warming up more and more towards Star Trek (liked it before aswell, but didn’t dive into it too much). Especially since i enjoy some of the current series (Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks) quite a bit.
The german communities didn’t transition quite as well
You’ve gotta be kidding? I feel like Germans are the 2nd biggest demographic after Yanks on Lemmy. They seem to be everywhere flaunting their sinister
.deusernames. I try to speak to them in Rammstein lyrics only to be ignored.They’re as friendly as a concrete wall and as funny as a dead kitten.
You stopped that quote a few words too early and left out the “as i hoped” part. I guess i simply had unrealistic high hopes that we would collectively move here, but the mods of /r/de opened back up at some point and the majority is still there.
But you are of course right that overall there are quite a few of us here. I guess expanding into a new space that is leaning towards communism is something we have experience with.
Allow me to serenade you with the music of your people.
Ahem… Ich will
Ich will
Ich will
Ich will
Ich will das ihr mir vertraut
Ich will das ihr mir glaubt
Ich will eure Blicke spuehren
Jeden Herzschlag kontrollieren
Ah, one of our classic lullabies, perfect for the evening.
here for the shitposting, am stuffed
And the funny part to me is that they are all high quality posts lol
Enjoy browsing Risa. Content is good and the people are also chill.
I’m at the point where I’m considering watching the show just to understand half of my everything feed.
My child, follow the path that the Prophets laid out for you.
From TOS?
My child, how have you strayed from the path the prophets of Bajor laid out for you? You should visit Deep Space 9 to visit their temple.
Definitely give star trek TNG and/ or Voyager a try. I find watching these shows relaxing at the end of a difficult day.
