Besides lemmy of course

Edit: By community I didn't mean lemmy community. I meant like a fandom for an old or obscure piece of media with still some activity

!raining@sh.itjust.works - used to be fairly active but has been mostly dead for months.

(hmm, should I promote my own communities here?)

Feel free!

I see from the edit this wasn't the intention 🙂

But I'm here now, so my obscure-ish ones !lemmings@lemmings.world !plus4@retrolemmy.com and !teletext@fedia.io I'd like to see more active particularly.

[–] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Didn’t know this existed. 😁

Hey that's a nice comm, thanks for the pointer. They are looking for a new moderator, i think you should take over :)

[–] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 2 points 10 months ago

Thanks, I've responded!

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Any gay sub, really. I miss my messy queens.

[–] RobotZap10000@feddit.nl 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sub, as in subreddit? Orrrr...

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Errr-- yes.

There is a toolbar called the Hypothesis toolbar, it's basically a browser add-on that adds a comment section to any webpage that won't add one itself. It just needs more participants.

[–] droning_in_my_ears@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's interesting. I might try kt out

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Tell me when you've signed up, I'll meet up with you on there.

[–] droning_in_my_ears@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ok I'm in :D

I don't know. I annotated your comment. Not sure if you get notified.

If it grew big I think it'd be nice.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Replied just now.

It’s not super obscure or anything, but I want Vocaloid to get more love. Especially non-Miku voices.

[–] RiderExMachina@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

I feel like Vocaloid got pretty popular in the early 2010s for a couple years and then everyone moved on.

It might still have a small fanbase in Japan, but interest is nearly non-existant, at least here in the US.

!amiga@sopuli.xyz !zxspectrum@lemmy.world

and although not obscure, I wished the communities on feddit.uk had more going on.

[–] szczuroarturo@programming.dev 5 points 10 months ago

Anime manga light novels. I mean come on i was expecting it to be one of the few communities that would blow up here pretty fast alongside linux , pcbulding and software developer communities.

[–] l_b_i@yiffit.net 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I had a coworker who was into them and had quite a collection. I still have some Varsitys sitting around from a joke. Not really into them myself, but notebooks marketed for use with them are really nice.

[–] triclops6@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

Yeah those are a great introduction for anyone interested

[–] berryjam@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I wish Mou Ippon was popular enough for the English scanlation to get picked up. It's a sports manga about women's judo.

[–] DampCanary@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

ooh I know that name, I wached that anime.

If you wached it, how does it uphold the manga?

[–] berryjam@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm more of a manga fan than anime. I watched the first episode and it was very faithful to the manga.

[–] DampCanary@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

thanks,

wiil take a note

and probabbly pick it up in between seasons
