A bit clichê, but all of them
…well… maybe not all of them…
People really need to start posting more. You can do scheduled posts so it’s easy work
about Love2d - lua framework for creating games
More “curated” communities (like CuratedTumblr) that have higher submission standards. One of my biggest gripes with Lemmy in recent months is the amount of low effort “updoots to the left” memes and commonly reposted material.
Niche interests. Unfortunately Lemmy doesn’t have enough of a population to get enough people/content for specific niches. Some things I specifically followed on Reddit were: fight stick controllers, Street Fighter 6, Wildrift game, dad/parenting communities, SBC gaming. On Lemmy there either isn’t any activity at all for these, or too little to have regular content.
JapanFinance, RideItJapan, JapanLife/JapanResidents – the problem is, without the knowledge of people who have lived here for a long time, it’s not that useful if created. The vast amount of experience of people with starting a business, dealing with visa stuff, dealing with legal stuff, etc. is what makes those reddit communities valuable. Some of us tried to get people to move, some created similar communities, but people didn’t really move.
It’s doing well but I would love to see more videos without the need for YouTube.
We have enough memes and politics and definitely US politics for three lifetimes.
Here’s a bunch that I enjoyed, or wish for, or just found by browsing the community list:
- !europe@feddit.org and local country subs in English
- !historymemes@lemmy.world
- !sauna@suppo.fi
- !assholedesign@lemmy.world
- !balconygardening@slrpnk.net
- !gameart@sopuli.xyz
- !pkd@lemmy.world - Included mostly because I had a chuckle from the name, but I’d be interested for real too
click here for a list of communities that are NOT politics, tech, or meme -related.
Most are currently active (except for the ones with a * which were less active last I checked) Sometimes politics, tech or memes sneak in but they’re not the focus.

FINDING NEW/GOOD COMMUNITIES ON LEMMY
Hello,
Could you please add !casualconversation@piefed.social to that list?
that’s weird, when I tried to edit it in the web interface it kept saying “error” on save, but it let me edit it in Jerboa…
Thank you!
Wow! Thank you, @Sergio!
There is a TIFU community and nobody posts there
Seems like people on Lemmy are too competent for it :(
All of those kinds of communities, where people tell anecdotes about their lives, turned into creative writing excerises for wannabe authors long before we had to worry about AI slop. TIFU, AmITheAsshole, RelationshipAdvice, etc. were all getting pretty derivative and sensational for clicks long before the exodus. Now they’re all either that or illiterate attention seekers showing off the results of their latest LLM prompts. I liked those stories too, but I don’t want anything to do with any of those communities anymore. It all just turned into a training ground for LLMs generating engagement. YouTube still tries to force those dumb AI story voiceover videos to me constantly. We used to joke that “nothing ever happens”, but everyday that sentiment feels a little less cynical and a little more real.
I see your point, but it doesn’t have to be that way. In fact what I’ve seen here wasn’t long creative writing essays, rather, photos with a very short description. Which is what I’m after.
People still share long posts under all sorts of contexts too, and LLMs train on everything. If you are holding on to prevent LLMs training then you might as well not post anywhere at all
I’m more of a I’ve been fucking up for weeks/months/years kind of person. Problems I gave cultivated when it should have been obvious they were coming
I generally don’t miss Reddit, but I do miss all the art subs. All the “imaginary” subs. ImaginaryBattlefields. ImaginaryCastles. Etc etc. 80s fantasy art subs. I like having a fair amount of art in my feeds as I scroll and I don’t really get that with Lemmy. I am too lazy and distracted to create and moderate these subs myself.
Cast iron
Hot sauce recipes
Conspiracy weirdness, ghosts and shit
…maybe not in that order.
Ah a fellow cast iron enthusiast
See? You and me need a Lemmy community.
Don’t know how to link a community but I’d like more people posting on artshare and other art comms.
Also on the soulslike community :D
Edited to add some links :
You can link a community by typing ! and then the community name right after it, without spaces. I also like checking out the art communities.
Got it, thanks!
I’ll be that guy:
The NSFW communities. So far if I want to see anything new I’d still have to resort to reddit which also is becoming emptier by the minute, it’d be nice if we start moving those communities here
lemmynsfw instance is dedicated to porn. It’s blocked by some instances though.
Communities related to my local city. On Reddit it’s how I found out about some events and local issues.
!fedigrow@lemmy.zip for people wanting to make communities more active
I used to like reading the medium - long stories on the malicious complience subreddit. !maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world just never really took off here.
