I suspect most people aren’t subbing/following communities on Lemmy. So post the community or topic you want to see pop off. And reader(that’s you) if you are interested in that community click the link and follow it.
👏Let’s 👏 start 👏 coordinating 👏 people.
The Yogscast community for one. That’s what I sought out here first, and it’s dead as the desert.
If Lenny were less complicated to understand I would!
We need more activity over there. I hope to make a post or two soon, but it’s sad only seeing a couple new posts before seeing things from months ago. C’mon 3D artists!!! Where ya at?
I’ll sub to that. Been meaning to get more in to blender
Welcome in!😁👍

[email protected]Basically the subs I mod. It would be awesome to see anyone new add content.
Shameless self-promotion: [email protected]
It’s like “On This Day”, “This Day in History”, etc. I’m currently the only poster but I don’t mind, I enjoy regularly looking for interesting anniversaries.
Post anniversaries on any topic you feel like; even personal anniversaries are allowed!
One of the most well-intentioned and reasonable spaces to discuss this type of stuff I’ve found, but posts are not frequent.
I’m a fan of these kinds of games, especially Smash Melee. Since leaving Reddit and Twitter, I feel pretty disconnected from them.
I’m trying to learn Japanese as a hobby, and it’s slightly unfortunate that there’s not much of a community for it here. I think the first two kinda split the userbase by having slightly different focus, preventing a definitive one spot. The third one is decently active though, mostly thanks to just a handful of people. The effort makes a big difference.
And I wanted to add, in general, I think communities here often work better at higher levels. Like in the examples from my post, smashbros is better than just the ssbm community. fgc, more realistic than communities for individual fighting games. Languagelearning > individual language communities, to an extent.
Since the Lemmy user base is small, I think zooming out is helpful. This place isn’t Reddit and it doesn’t work to try and replicate it 1-to1.
[email protected] is basically dead, though I am as guilty anyone of not posting more.
[email protected] has seen some posts lately but I wish it was more active.
[email protected] for motorsports.
[email protected] I miss venting with a bunch of other cooks on reddit, but unfortunately this community is pretty inactive.
Are you aware that lemm.ee shut down? Any communities will need to be recreated on another instance.
Lemmy already superseded my expectations with how active it is. That being said, I would love the following to see more action (although I’m mostly lurking there myself):
[email protected] - Loved the discussions on Reddit. As a European, it’s not easy to follow the games, so that was a great way to stay up to date.
[email protected] - Mostly carried by /u/[email protected], whose updates are *chef’s kiss*
[email protected] - No explanation needed.
[email protected] all you have to do is post weevil images and I will love you
Not one community specifically, but I really wish that communities about sports - specifically American football - were more active. I really miss that from the other place.
I am doing my best to get activity going on the nfl and lacrosse instances.
Keep it up. I don’t much care about off-season news or anything, but I’ll probably join the discussion when it comes to highlights and game threads. These upcoming seasons for each sport will play a big part in how active the community will be going forward I think. Unfortunately a bunch of traffic was dominated by the presidential election last year so other niche topics should gain more traction this year.
I’ll try to start contributing to the NFL community.
The NBA community ([email protected]) is small but decently active. We had live game threads for the playoffs but it was like 5 people commenting lol. It was still fun though, and hopefully it grows more.
That’s how we get it started. 5 people active on live game thread leads people to see ‘oh, when it’s live there is a group hanging out here’ next time you’ll have 7 then 12 then 30. Keep it up!
That’s the one sub I’ll still peek in now and then. Especially since my guys won it this year. Lol.
Thunder up!
Scifi short stories are the only reason I go to Reddit anymore.
When I first stumbled into Lemmy I kinda gravitated to the medical communities, but from day one they’ve all been pretty dead. Just added a couple more subs now prompted by this thread to see if there was an active one. Here’s what I’ve got in my collection:
…sorted all of them by Top: Month, and there are a grand total of maybe 20 posts spread over only three of the communities. One of those three only showed a single post; and a pretty even split on the remaining two. The rest of them were empty. It’s spread way too thin: I’ve only run into a few other medical peeps here on Lemmy - we don’t have 12 communities worth of material.
I kinda wish we’d merge them… which I know goes against the grain of how the fediverse is supposed to operate.
[email protected] and [email protected] were the two most active ones. Mander.xyz seems like a better home for medical talk, but the rules in the sidebar are far too strict for a community this size. [email protected] seems the best at the moment.
…and I’m 100% part of the problem I’m whining about. Outside of a couple introduction posts and questions for the community, I haven’t posted anything there either. I should.
This is great! I think the ones that get more subs will generally rise to the top and people will start congregating there.
I’m seeing a bunch of upvotes on peoples comments here. I’m hoping that those people are also subbing to the communities they see in here.
I’m gonna try to remember to post this kind of question maybe once a month and over time we’ll get communities popping off.
most of them are on reddit, and probably unaware that lemmy exists, plus there are still medical based forums out there too. probably hard to see out of the 50k users, which one will ask a medical based issue.
