Was out on a walk earlier today and wanted to do something sort of Christmas related and try and help people pass on virtual presents in the form of community suggestions.
What is a community you think more people should be subscribed to and why?
My answer is https://lemmy.world/c/superbowl ( Superb Owl, not Superbowl. It’s a community about birds, not americal football) and there is frequently high quality images of owls posted which I find cute and I wish I could take shots like that. P.s. I know birds aren’t everyone’s thing, but I wanted to use it as an example.
And I the community is NSFW but the name isn’t obvious, flag it as NSFW.
I like video games, but not the newest, shiniest AAA title, but rather the smaller and older gems. Therefore !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works is a nice community since I also like to read what other gamers think about their favorites.
Another recommendation is !historymemes@lemmy.world where PugJesus often gives an explanation to their meme. Thereby you learn and laugh.
+1 for patient gamers too. It’s a great community with great discussion. I don’t think I’ve had a single bad interaction on there
PJ is so funny
I mean, if you like Stardew Valley I feel like you’re probably already part of the community. And if you DON’T like Stardew Valley? Well then clearly you have no good taste in life, and you maybe should leave earth forever. Ok, that’s a bit dramatic, but…no, ya know what? I stand by it. We’ll build a rocket, and put all the Stardew Valley haters on it, and fire it to Mars…Not like it needs to be safely built, or have enough fuel. It just needs to get off this planet, and get far enough away from earth that it’s explosion won’t affect the rest of us still living our lives on earth.

superbowl is the best.
Lemmy is still small enough that I just browse “All” all the time, and when I run across a community I know I won’t read, I block it. Like anime stuff is fine, it’s just not my jam so I block it and then whatever else shows up in “All” I’ll see.
It’s fun to help others who can’t quite put their finger on something.

I wouldn’t recommend communities I like to others.
“I would never join a club that would be willing to have ME as a member…”
Really nice for just seeing stuff. Not the highs or lows of life, just the pleasantly mundane.

meh. I honestly don’t feel there should be any communities that everyone should join. I view it like clubs at a university. when you scroll all its like walking around on the quad that day when every group has a table. You check them out and maybe join some and maybe back away slowly from. Others your not sure. You join some and are super into it and help out and maybe take on a position and others you just come to meetings and hang out a bit. Other times you happen to pass by a gathering for something you were not part of but it looks neat so you drop in.

Did you see lemmyverse.net ?

you make a good point. I seem to recall a thing where an instance won’t pull things if no one is subscribed or some such so I can see it being very possible to miss things. So you have convinced me. All said though I don’t have any recommendations. Im subscribed to a few things but not many yet and are pretty specific niche things I like mbin meta, pathfinder, and free video games.
Because it’s among the few communities I miss from Reddit.
… it’s dead though?
It dies down when people stop posting but every post there receives replies.
