Community discovery communities

!newcommunities@lemmy.world - New Communities - A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

!communitypromo@lemmy.ca - Community Promo - Promote your favourite communities and ask about communities that you are looking for!

!trendingcommunities@lemmy.cafe - Trending Communities - Daily post by a bot highlighting trending communities.

!lemmydirectory@lemmy.dbzer0.com - Lemmy Directory - This community has bots making regular posts showcasing best content from communities in given categories to help promote them.

!findacommunity@lemmy.ml - Find a Community - A community to find other communities in any of the Lemmy instances.

Community and instance discovery tools

Lemmy Explorer -A tool to search and filter for communities or instances. You can change the software in the top left to switch to PieFed Explorer or Mbin Explorer (I believe there are plans to have a combined search in the future)

Fediverse Observer - Find a Lemmy instance near you, or view instance lists, maps, or stats. Can also be used with other Fediverse software including PieFed and Mbin.

Some Fediverse software, including Mbin, Friendica, and Mastodon, uses # tags to help with discovery on the microblogging side. Mastodon also treats community names as tags in a given post, e.g. posts in both !fediverse@lemmy.world and !fediverse@piefed.social having the # fediverse tag when propagating to there.

Communities for other questions

!lemmy@lemmy.ml - Questions about Lemmy software/development

!piefed_help@piefed.social - Questions about Piefed software/development

!nostupidquestions@lemmy.world - Questions about any topic that you need help with

!asklemmy@lemmy.world - Open-ended questions to prompt discussion

For support with a specific instance (e.g. login/account issues, requests to mod), check in your instance's local communities to see if there is a help/support community, such as !support@lemmy.world for lemmy.world


The above was compiled to try to share active communities and resources to help with discovery. Some inactive communities were excluded, but could be added if they become active again. Please leave a comment if you want to add anything, or have any suggestions!

I can't find a specific theater play's script and wanted to ask about it. However, the Help Me Find Lemmy community is long dead.

I also can't find any communities searching for "Theater". So... Where do I ask about it now?

Are there any communities surrounded by good political news? I need cheering up

Like it says in the title, I could have swore somebody made one recently but I can't find it

So far I've found ones for specific fandoms but reddit has one for just movies in general

Looking for a place to express myself with nerdy interests like tech, anime, and games. LGBTQ+ supportive, please, but that could be most instances.

Languages I'm looking for:

Maybe an opportunity to study German

Indonesian, if such an instance exists

Spanish

Portuguese

French

The ones that I have found react with vehement hatred spewing the same oft-debunked nonsense every time AI is mentioned even obliquely, and anything even vaguely critical of that groupthink gets downvoted massively, and frankly it's tiring and boring! (If you're thinking of responding with such comments here, don't!)

But I do want to read and talk about tech in general

General communities like AskLemmy or whatever are also welcome

A community where a bot posts a random post from a random community every single day to help you discover communities

I’m looking for a community to share game worlds. Currently working on a Planet Coaster 2 park, but would also like to share things from my factory games and other creative game spaces like Minecraft. Any communities specifically for things like this? I was thinking c/artshare, but haven’t seen anything similar there, so thought I’d check here.

And I don't mean Jujutsu Kaisen or Azumanga Daioh, I mean really hard to find mangas (or atleast that I can't find on Mangadex), like the Super Smash Bros one.

I've got plans to add a mid-sized solar system to my home this spring, and I'm wondering if there's a community appropriate for discussing that, asking questions, bouncing ideas around, etc.

The various technology communities seem too generic and more focused on tech coverage in the news. There's solarpunk technology, but it seems more about "here's how to use a magnifying glass and aluminum foil to cook an egg in 6 hours" and I'm looking for more practical discussions and solutions.

So is there a community for PV enthusiasts to talk shop?

I'm looking for a community filled with people that would generally be considered weird, such as fictionkins, therians, and neurodivergent people in general like WeirdoTeens on Reddit but for all ages possibly and just "weirdos".

Going to be playing dnd again and haven't played since the 3-3.5 transition so I'd like to get some advice on some character concepts and get a general idea of how to advance them.

Is there a community that lets you post about awesome stuff that's happened? I'm looking for the opposite of !rant@lemmy.sdf.org.

Kind of like !mildlyinteresting@lemmy.world or !wholesome@reddthat.com but more in the direction of shouting into the world what great thing happened to you or you discovered recently.

I'm looking for communities to ask for recommendations for anything but also specific communities to ask the question "what are some English speaking Japanese content creators I can watch to learn more about Japan and Japanese culture"

23
 
 

I'm looking for a subreddit like asklemmy because I wanted to ask the a question about who people see as influential that shaped their progressive / kept leaving views for example Hayao Miyazaki

But I realised asklemmy might have a rule agsinst political posts so that's why I'm asking here

I'm looking for a Signal messenger community. The only really active one currently is the lemmy.ml one, but I'm banned from there.

I'm looking to avoid blahaj.zone or other authoritarian and strict instances

Would be glad if someone is willing to crosspost or share content somewhere else

I've searched but can't find any active communities where people discuss sex, post written erotica, hot stories, sexy confessions, or anything like it (text only). The only adult/NSFW communities I seem to find are about pictures/videos.
