Everything about Lemmy; bugs, gripes, praises, and advocacy.
For discussion about the lemmy.ml instance, go to !meta@lemmy.ml.
r/nosleep is the only hobby subreddit on my favourites list on Apollo. I used to be a creepypasta fan and when I found r/nosleep, I never looked anywhere else for my dose of horror stories.
It will be good for it to be here but I suppose expecting all the authors to migrate over to Lemmy still seems farfetched.
I dont know if my niche will quite fit the site yet, but I've followed a lot of animal subs ( crestedgecko, aidke, partyparrot, the twenty thousand cat subs... catsbeingcats of course a favorite ) and also a lot of botany style subs ( botany is the obvious one, houseplants, houseplantcirclejerk, savagegarden, mycology ) and then the unusual to pique interest ( unusualvideos, atbge, designdesign, barbarawalters4scale, hmmmgifs )
Special call out to /todayilearned a /awwducational for giving me fun facts to share with my co workers.
I think if there were master communities it would help appeal to a broad crowd.
Games, Skyrim, Fallout, Dragon's Dogma, Elden Ring
On reddit there was /r/Serendipity, where a bot would would highlight a randomish post from a fringe subreddit with a little break down of age, number of subs, average comment length, reading level, then like a top of all time post, top of the month, and top of the week.
I would love something like this for instances and communities. Not like a direct copy necessarily, but a one stop place to share and cross pollinate communities. I feel like there's a ton of communities whose first hurdle will be userbase, and the easier it is for people to find and join, the richer the ecosystem will be.
For instance, I regularly used /r/hiphopheads on reddit, but it took me days to find !hiphopheads@sopuli.xyz (also, I don't know how to link communities/instances). I wonder how many of my most used subreddits have a lemmy analog that I don't know about because it's on an odd instance or something.
more animal pic subs
I want a soccer discussion community. Hope Lemmy keeps becoming more popular.
Skylanders, Rats,Theleftcantmeme, jreG, banpitbulls
I'm really into Overwatch 2 now and I didn't see an active community for it, so I made !overwatch2@lemmy.ml . I hope it catches on because I'd like to see more ow2 content on here
