Active communities promotion thread

Hello,

As everybody knows, content discovery on Lemmy can sometimes be a bit tricky.

To help smaller communities to get more activity, I launch this thread for people to promote the communities they are active one.

One important criteria: please only promote communities that have been at least one post in the last 7 days. And if there is none, feel free to post there and then promote it here!

This could be a weekly thread, but let's see how it goes

Finally, !newcommunities and !communitypromo are communities that you can subscribe to to see updates about communities

If you understand Danish, any of the communities on Feddit.dk should be interesting... But otherwise they probably aren't :P

Makes sense! How many people are usually active on your communities, per week for instance?

The most active is probably the news community, !nyheder with 80 active users per week according to the sidebar. I think a good portion of them are users on external instances.

!musicmashups - Post your favorite and best music mashups.

!standupcomedy - This community is a place for stand-up comedy videos, shorts, gifs (with audio,) news, and discussion.

!shirtsthatgohard - Basically for shirts that you think go hard. That can mean many things but it comes down to what you think stands out.

On my instance there is 3 active communities, I am not admin in any of them but i think they're pretty cool

!Firefox - Community dedicated to the firefox browser
!FirefoxCSS - Community dedicated to the customization of Firefox
!FloatingIsFun - Got very cool CSS and looks pretty and customized, dedicated to art and pics of floating things

Thank you for your comment. I really like the !floatingisfun one, it looks even better with the custom CSS!

For fans of outdoor cooking, especially with this versatile pellet grill ….
!traeger(https://lemmy.world/c/traeger)

I just got one of these grills and am learning about smoking - let’s help each other out, appreciate each others efforts, and cook some feasts

!right2repair you think companies preventing you from repairing your stuff is BS?

There is !fixing, maybe you can promote your community there?

!cyberpunk - mostly games, movies, shows, and music in the cyberpunk sci-fi genre

!wavemusic - music: synthwave, vaporwave, etc. A fairly new community, a couple different people have been posting

!gothindustrial - music community. I was hoping someone else would make the 300th post, if not I'll post something later today.

!fullmoviesonyoutube - a larger community, a couple of us are posting regularly, but could use more discussion

!fedigrow - a community about how to help grow the fediverse. @Blaze has been posting a weekly thread on "how is your [niche] community doing?" which is kind of like a support group for people keeping communities alive

edit: how could I forget, !shortstories - links to short stories online in all genres

Shamelessly promoting my community again: !homebrewing

It averages about 1 post per week but it certainly isn't dead.

Stumbled upon it randomly the other day, it's pretty cool!

plactagonic ,

I am glad that you like it. It would be nice to have little more traffic but post quality is more important so I can't complain.

!learningrustandlemmy

It’s for learning rust (the programming language) and the lemmy code base itself as a sort of “reading club”. If you’re the type of person who might be interested there’s a good chance you’ve heard of it already. We’re currently working through The Book (conventional learning resource) through a couple of Twitch streams and regular posts/discussions.

More collaborative learning activity is plenty welcome!

If you enjoy reading, !Books is pretty active place to discuss what you’re reading and review it or get recommendations.

I try to post significant price drops routinely to !ebookdeals as well. I mostly post ones that I have heard good things about / read myself and really enjoyed and are valid at all 3 big US ebook retailers, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon at the same time or Humble Bundles. There’s no rule against others posting deals they endorse for other regions or other books, I just wanted to avoid it being a firehouse of spammy links and I only shop US Stores.

Thanks for sharing!

The last one is cute, but last post seems to be from 23 days ago

Why birds and not !birding ?

Blaze OP ,
@Blaze@reddthat.com avatar

Probably an opportunity for consolidation

AchtungDrempels ,

Yeah i don't really see the difference in topic, also on the same instance.
