Besides tech-focused instances, what other subject focused Lemmy/Kbinstances have you found?

ElectroVagrant@lemmy.world to Fediverse@lemmy.world – 73 points –

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.

There are instances associated specific countries

edit: I've made lots of little corrections here and there, added links and all that. Must be like version 20 by now.

The Denmark one is feddit.dk 😌

Thanks. Fixed it. I keep wondering why do I always type too fast...

Don't worry. As Danes we are always mistaken for Germans abroad, so we are used to it

I'd like to add no.lastname.nz to the list, a New Zealand based instance with an outdoors/environmental slant. I'm working with Dave from lemmy.nz to not duplicate communities

Germany feddit.dk

.dk is Denmark. feddit.de is the German one.

Theres wayfarershaven.eu for travel-related and niche hobbyist topics like knitting, sewing, and fountain pens

shameless self-plug but i host an instance for the life is strange fandom (pricefield.org)

i've also seen a game preservation instance at preserve.games

I've been thinking of starting a theatre-focused kbin instance, but realistically not until the platform has matured, as my sysadmin days are well, well, well behind me. In the meantime I've started a Musicals magazine on kbin.social.

I joined the MTGzone.com instance because I used to use Reddit for MTG news 80% of the time anyway, andnnow I have a nice local feed for magic the gathering stuff and a federated feed for everything else. It's great!
