Which existing Lemmy communities do you wish were more active?

Lenny@lemmy.world to Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world – 76 points –

And what content would you like to see?

36

The whole thing tbh, no one bothers posting, including the mods. Things like news being days and days behind. People posting communites on this thread they want to be more active on here, but the subs are empty. Get posting.

So many users complain about posts, but never post themselves.

All of them that are not tech, anime, games and politics

not tech, anime, games and politics

Looks at the make-up of most savvy internet users

Oh no.

!amateursatellites@lemmy.world and any ham radio communities.

I have an RTLSDR connected to satnogs. It's not a huge setup but it's mine.

Thanks for letting me know about the community!

Would you consider Earth's moon an amateur satellite or a professional? I mean, she's been doing it for a really long time. But IDK if she does it as a hobby or to pay the bills.

Any ham radio communutues you'd recommend?

Been considering it as a hobby in case shit goes down

Why is it called "ham radio"? What do lunch meats have to do with this???

Basically, it was a prejoritive term insulting those bad at morse code ("Ham fisted"), and it stuck around

!amateurradio@lemmy.radio

The community from the old place is pretty active, I wish more of them would flow over here.

I think the top post here has a few hundred upvotes, and the average upvote count is ~20, but people gonna go where they feel they will get the most engagement.

1 more...

lemmy.mindoki.com/c/aip Art In Progress.

Because it's mine and it's empty now as I had to wipe my lemmy server (it never worked OK, super sluggish, the federation was skipping more and more, and the database was over 10GB).

I'll try to make it live again :-)

Edit: !aip@lemmy.mindoki.com thanks brb!

!fgc@lemmy.world
!mahjong@lemmy.nerdcore.social
!splatoon@lemmy.world

I mainly used the other site for niche microinterests, but because Fedi itself is so niche too, that means the venn diagram doesn't have enough overlap to sustain these communities. And sadly I'm not sure if it ever will.

I'm honestly surprised to see how large the Splatoon community on the Fediverse is. I've seen a pretty big presence on Mastodon, as well.

I play American mahjong, is that allowed over there?

Well considering the community appears to be completely dead, I doubt anyone's gonna care either way...

I hereby invite all ya'll to join and contribute your favorite Tom Swifty jokes to !tomswifty@midwest.social

If you're unfamiliar with the format, they're jokes where the described manner of speaking is a pun on what's said, eg.

"Have you heard me singing in church?" Tom inquired.

I'd like to see a community for TV/Streaming Series like /r/television. There are several atm but none is very active.

I would really like to see more BSD related content here since I really want to get into using BSD :D

Too many to list!
