Besides tech-focused instances, what other subject focused Lemmy/Kbinstances have you found? (lemmy.world)

Currently I'm more aware of general interest instances for both Lemmy & Kbin, and a few more focused ones (e.g. Mander.xyz/slrpnk.net/startrek.website), so I'm curious what others there might be.

At the same time, would you be interested in more narrowly focused instances that aren't tech-oriented, and if so, concerning what subjects?

Also as to why you might want those, it's mainly for a more focused local feed related to communities surrounding the primary subject you joined for, meanwhile your subscribed/all feeds would remain more general. An example might be you join a country/region-oriented instance where the local communities may literally be based around local communities in your area as well as regional/national & sub-regional/national news or the like.

No idea if lemmy.ca is organized like that in any way btw, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are some Canadian-themed local communities there. Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked, but see first couple sentences for the main question & topic.

Is there a community for posting links to topic-focused instances? If not, I may start one.

Do you mean like a more focused version of the fediverse community, but for highlighting/sharing links to topic-focused instances? That may be kind of interesting as another form of the newcommunities/findacommunity type of communities, just for entire instances.

Yeah, basically like newcommunities/communitydiscoveries. I figure since new instances are less common, it would be feasible to maintain a master list there. Whereas newcommunities gets several posts per day.
