Thought I'd repost this over here too, seems relevant.

Searching Lemmyverse is good for finding communities. [email protected] is also a nice tool for finding new places.

I posted this on the other site but I thought I'd copy over here too, lots of good communities around to subscribe to if you want a more casual/fun frontpage that isn't just tech news, elon musk, or politics.

note: all of these communities have posts. If they appear empty, it simply means nobody on the instance you use has visited them before (or you might have blocked them and forgot, I've done it before, lol)! I will try to keep this thread updated over time.

Note: if you wish to auto-subscribe to all of the communities below, I have a post in the comments that describes how to do so.

My rough criterion was:

  • Of interest to me or a wide audience
  • Has a decent amount of activity
  • Casual / fun / interesting / cool / funny / chatty communities.
  • 0 negativity/negative vibes, news, politics, overload of tech or niche tech news/info, etc.

These are places that are 'chatty', good if you want a lot of comments.

"ask" based
Casual chat / Misc

Hobbies, Creative, Passions

Misc

Cooking, food, drinks

Generally mostly nice pics of food:

Gardening / Plants
Keyboard enthusiasts
Knitting, Stitching, Crocheting, etc
Reading and Writing
Sport

Honestly there are so many sport communities around - if you search Lemmyverse for popular sports, you will almost certainly find more.

Nice/Interesting/Funny pictures

Animals

Literally just pictures of cute animals.

Comics
Flags
Maps
Memes

Meme communities in general can overload your feed, so keep that in mind.

Misc
Photography
Wallpapers

Games

Board Games / Table top games

The ttrpg.network instance has a lot of communities based around table top gaming & RPGs.

Chess
Crosswords / Daily games
Video Games

Knowledge (e.g history, science)

Space

TV (television), movies, film

Music

Lots of music communities on Lemmy. Search Lemmyverse for genres of interest for more, this definitely isn't exhaustive.

Note that music communities generally have low comment counts, from my experience.

There's also:

These communities have been removed from the list for not maintaining activity.

What happened to the main Piracy community in c/[email protected]
[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

hexbear (a leftist instance) was defederated recently. lemmygrad.ml is "under discussion".

lemmy.ml has too many general users thesedays imo, it would be very major to block it.

Just out of curiosity, what post sorting are you using? This can happen if you're using a tight sort, e.g "Top (6hr)"

[email protected]

It's blocked from lemmy.world. I'd recommend using LASIM and migrating to another instance like https://lemm.ee/ (note: you will need to manually resubscribe to [email protected] on your new account, since LASIM won't be able to see it).

That's not a copy of the main piracy community, that's another piracy community that's hosted on lemmy.world

The community people are talking about is [email protected], which is no longer accessible via lemmy.world

It appears [email protected] is also blocked.

Very good! Nice to see the /c/ link issue fixed too.

It does come preinstalled with them, that's the whole point of Jackett. You just need to enable them in the dashboard.

Niger: Former Nigerian emir of Kano meets the putschists (www.africanews.com)
submitted 11 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
0 comments fedilink

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/2989944

One of West Africa's most prominent traditional and religious leaders flew to Niger's capital, Niamey, Wednesday to meet with the country's coup leaders.

The visit of the former Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, came a day ahead of an ECOWAS regional summit Thursday in Nigeria to determine the bloc's response to Niger's junta's non-compliance with their deadline to free President Mohamed Bazoum.

Sanusi, a respected Tijanniyah Sufi spiritual leader and former Nigerian Central Bank governor, was able to meet coup leader Gen. Abdourahamane Tchiani, former head of Bazoum's presidential guard. What was discussed has not yet been disclosed.

Niger's new military junta has taken steps in recent days to entrench itself in power and has rejected international efforts to mediate, a day early blocking emissaries from the African Union, United Nations and ECOWAS from visiting Niger.
