Lemmy411 - Don't know where to find what you're looking for?

Looked around and can find plenty of tech news related communities and several tech communities for learning/discussing specific tech subjects (programming, programming languages, etc.), but can't seem to find a more open-ended, all levels tech questions community.

Closest I found to what I'm looking for was [email protected], but that's more aimed at beginners (which is a great idea tbh).

Have I overlooked where one of the tech communities is more open to questions alongside news? Will admit I was skimming after awhile of searching, so I may have!

So that someone can help identify it

It's now under new moderation, and we should be more active moving forward. Since a lot of the community recommendation spaces aren't as active anymore, hopefully this space can get things going again.

Come share your communities, from whatever platform you are using!

You can also check out the updated list of community discovery resources here: https://lemmy.ca/post/5581032, or by checking the pinned post.

Cheers :)

Where would I ask a question about Mint Mobile? Just realized that texting myself doesn't actually go through as a text, which is weird, but don't know if there's a community I can use to ask about it.

Two subreddits I used to be very active in were for techsupport and networking/home networking. Anyone know if there's Lemmy communities for the same?

Also, related, is there a way to list communities available from a specific instance? Like if I wanted to see all communities local to Lemmy.world or something (that's not my local instance), can I do that? If so, how?

I'm still getting used to the fediverse way of doing things, I love it here, I'm just having trouble getting myself up to speed relative to all that I was subscribed to on Reddit.

TIA

Trying to fill the void left from r/MMA & r/BJJ ... Any one have any recommendations for relatively active communities?

I hate everything so much rn

I'm looking for communities or magazines for technical/professional writers. Please let me know if you're aware of any. :)

Hi,

Does anyone know of any active weightlifting, strongman or home gym communities?

I need some advice on my routine.

Thanks!

As per title - looking for a place to post about doggos and discuss all things doggo

I [posted this on [email protected] yesterday](https://lemmy.world/post/1080409?scrollToComments=true) and I thought it was worth sharing here too to help people looking for specific types of communities on the Lemmyverse:

I built this for myself some years ago and used it a lot to find many interesting niche subreddits. Today I expanded it to also help myself and others find interesting niche communities across the Lemmyverse!

There is a longer explanation here from an older article, but basically:

• You give this a link that you found interesting
• It will (try to) find everywhere it has been shared on the Lemmyverse (and other websites)
• It will show you all comments from everywhere it's been shared on a single page
• You can do all the regular stuff like filter, sort, isolate etc.

One thing I find myself doing very often is hitting "toggle sources" on the top banner; this shows me everywhere the link has been shared and commented on, and if I see a community I'm not familiar with, I'll isolate the comments from that source and have a look through to see if it's a community I'd like to engage with.

There are also browser extensions and an iOS shortcut available.

You can check out an example from a post that just hit "Hot" on lemmy.world here!

I hope this helps people find interesting, engaging and fulfilling communities in this next chapter of the internet! 🚀

Hello from your southern neighbor. I am a huge fan of Kids In the Hall, Corner Gas, Strange Brew, etc.. While these are older shows and movies I still have a great appreciation for Canadian humor in all entertainment mediums. I am surprised I haven't come across a community for discussing Canadian entertainment or something thereof. As I am not as versed as many on the subject I would be hesitant to create a community myself, but would enjoy having one to participate in and find new shows and whatnot. Just something to think about. Eh?

Hey all, I have been adding community rss feeds by adding the community name + .xml to my feed reader. Works great for my home instance lemmy.ca but trying to add the .xml for a community I am subscribed to from another instance craps out with the login page requirement.

For example, adding https://lemmy.ca/c/lemmy411.xml works fine in the rss reader but adding https://lemmy.world/c/technology.xml does not work because I am not on lemmy.world.

Also https://lemmy.ca/c/[email protected] fails with feed not found "Join Lemmy"

Any ideas? Maybe I am missing something obvious.

Search turns up a ton of groups where the string "tea" appears anywhere in the name (e.g., "team")

Is there some community where people share funny or strange AI generated essays and texts?

With everything that's happened at Reddit, I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for active quantum computing communities? Thanks, I really appreciate it!

There are starting to become so many for Android and Apple, it would be nice to have a community on news and updates for them, comparing them, finding the right one, etc. This is in addition to the individual communities they should all have.

Hello everyone,

I'm currently learning Russian, and I'm looking for a community where I could have discussions about the Russian language. There is one community on lemmygrad.ml, but it's not very active.

Any communities or instances focused on non-white folks or information/news/organizing against racism and colonialism specifically?

There's a wealth of general lefty communities it seems like but at a glance many of them seem to be preettttyyy white

hey! I love nu-disco as a genre and couldn't find it on lemmy anywhere. any help would be appreciated, thanks!

hey! I really enjoy citypop and wanted to find a community on lemmy for it. thanks in advance for any recommendations!

I'm new to lemmy, and trying to find every valorant communities so we can get this started. Do you guys know?

For example I found this funny ban on lemmy.world/modlog and wanted to share it somewhere. I also would like to hold mods more accountable. I suppose I could create a community. But I guess I just wanted to make sure there isn't already one.

Edit: the more I thought about it I decided I'd enjoy making such a community. lemmy.world/c/modlog

Hey everyone. I'm new to all this - as are most people I realize - but I've been really enjoying Lemmy so far. I'm subscribed to alternatives here of subreddits I frequented on Reddit and been participating in discussions and engaging with the communities as well. Overall, it's been good!

That said I've recently learned of another federated community style site (I think?) known as kbin (with other instances available. I'd like to subscribe to communities on this platform as well but I'm unsure if these are able to interface with each other.

For example: I learned of the kbin community for Disneyland. I followed a similar process to subscribing to other instances of Lemmy on my lemmy.ca account (pasting into the search bar) and was able to find and subscribe to the Disneyland community, however there are currently no posts there (compared to the community on kbin with multiple posts already) leading me to think something may have gone awry or the two platforms are unable to interface with each other.

Any and all help is appreciated if something like this is possible. I've heard kbin can work with lemmy, but perhaps not the other way around? Let me know and thank you.
