What is your favourite Lemmy community, which is not on lemmy.ml? (lemmy.ml)

I've already started seeing a lot of redundant communities being made here that have already existed on other Lemmy instances, and lemmy.ml is at risk of centralization and overload, so now is a great time to raise awareness of other instances.

For science topics, mander.xyz has a lot of good ones set up, and !solarpunk@slrpnk.net on slrpnk.net has been great!

edit: for new users - you can type ! to begin autofilling a community, even for ones on other instances, like I did for the solarpunk community above. It may take a few seconds for the autofill results to show up if you have a slow connection like me.

Fantastic, I was looking for my /r/ableton replacement. Thanks!

Feel free to create a community for Ableton there, or if you don't want to moderate it I'm happy to create it as well!

I just wrote out two comments that were deleted - Imo you shouldn't be able to edit or respond to a deleted post if it's not going to work.

I made an Ableton group on lemmy.ml a few days ago..doesn't seem like it's listed though. I'll probably just delete it if you're going to operate a music specific instance

if you have a few members may as well keep it open, we all benefit from variety

While I'm really liking Beehaw, one of the caveats is that users cannot create new communities so I may need to just create another account to assist with making new communities. I did just sub to lemmy@lemmy.studio however

I tried to edit a deleted comment - not sure where it went.

I made an Ableton user group on lemmy.ml a couple days ago - assuming you're keeping a music based instance running, I'll probably just delete it. (Also, my group still doesn't show up in searches - in the future if I want to get one listed, how would I do that?)
