It can be Lemmy, Mastodon, Peertube, anything Fediverse-related!
Do you want the furry porn ones or no
... there's entire instances for that? ::: give

You might wanna check out yiffit.net
Thanks
I feel like peertube gets overlooked way too often. I love the idea and think it should be more used
I want to like peertube, but the discoverability is terrible, and last I checked, it was pushing mostly cinspiracy theories. And every time I try to see around, it's just impossible to find an instance that would host interesting videos. Also, I find hopping around instances feels awkward.
Also, it seems to consist of "video dumps", resulting the instances having the "new" videos being hundreds of videos posted by just one user. It's just... not there for me, eben though I love the idea :/
framasoft developed both peertube, and this… i assume to address that exact concern
Tilvids.com and from there you can subscribe to anyone a cross the videoverse.
PeerTube is great if you like low-quality DVD rips and hour-long discussions on Linux.
At least, that's all I seem to ever find.
And sometimes that's exactly what I want, it definetly has its place
What PeerTube lacks is content creators. There is tilvids.com, but a lot of the content is just mirrored from YouTube and running a PeerTube instance can be expensive.
I hope aggregators like greyjay will be able to incorporate peer tube recommendations into their app, that might help the platform be able to grow past things no one else will host.
RISA might be one of the best communities on lemmy
It's great, but hardly underrated! It's been mentioned by the Lemmy devs and gets referenced all over Lemmy. Deservedly so.
You're right, but startrek.website can never have enough love (unless it's the hug of death lol)
https://oulipo.social/ is a custom Mastodon that forbids that fifth alphanum symbol in its toots. That is, using a,b,c,d is ok and any of f,g,h up to z is also ok and also digits and punctuation but that’s all.
This post would pass its validation.
You mean "e" is forbidden in toots?
Yup, the software is patched to not allow e in usernames or posts (apart from in URLs). Expressing yourself without using any word involving e is a fun challenge, and often you think you succeeded until the validation tells you off.
That's really interesting!
I like that bbc.social has a self-authenticating gTLD; a step up from a self-authenticating domain lol
I would say infosec.pub but it seems pretty popular.
If you're using mastodon infosec.exchange is awesome as well. A significant chunk of the security folks I know ended up there.
I've never liked twitter/X or mastadon format content but having it all infosec might completely change my mind.
Yeah. I'm not a huge fan of the format but a lot of people seem to like it. Academia and infosec seem to do most of their posting there (twatter and clones) and I don't see that pattern changing right away if at all.
I have accounts on most instances but https://lemdro.id works really good for me. Admin are active and they haven't defederated anyone yet.
Instances really aren't going to be all that different if you're federated with the greater fediverse

re peertube discovery, i saw this the other day:

Eh... Having content like that made is difficult
https://startrek.website is pretty cool if you're into Trek

Don't you mean social.bbc?
Yes
Hexbear is so awesome, I can barely stand being there for more than 30 seconds.
Don't use sarcasm, it confuses me.
lol hexbears when called out on their excessive toxicity: here, have some more toxicity! that’ll show ‘em they’re wrong about us!
Not sure if underrated, but i like https://metapixl.com/ and https://mathstodon.xyz
