Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES (updated 01/22/25)

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
  4. Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
  5. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
  6. Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

What is a sub/community that you wish existed (actively) on Lemmy?

Maybe there are others like you and we can actually get it running, or maybe to already exists but you just don't know!

A nudist/naturist sub would be really nice, been missing out on events lately so at least chatting about it would help shake the feeling of isolation.

Also, a space for plural systems would be super appreciated. We wouldn't really know what to say in it but it's really cool meeting other systems and learning about them.

I'd love if the Dead by Daylight community was more active here

[–] ptc075@lemmy.zip 4 points 11 hours ago

Model railroading. Even on Reddit those subs weren't super active, but they at least existed.

Magic the Gathering. There's actually 3 here already, but somehow none of them really scratch the itch to just talk about deckbuilding. And again, the 3 that are here are fairly quiet. Just doesn't seem to be the critical mass needed.

DankChristianMemes. Was just fantastic. Perhaps the best 'neutral' ground I ever saw for Christians & Atheists to laugh at themselves & each other.

Parent/Trying for pregnancy/pregnancy.

I found the pregnancy conversations on Reddit (while I was on Reddit is fun) to be much less toxic than on those discussion forums on pregnancy apps.

[–] Katrisia@lemm.ee 1 points 10 hours ago

Communities for news, papers, and general conversation around humanities and social sciences. Communities for underground music (e.g., goth music).

[–] El_Scapacabra@lemmings.world 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

R/raisedbynarcissists for sure.

[–] LilaOrchideen@feddit.org 3 points 14 hours ago

modernquilts / modernquilting, I used to look in that R and ppl shared progress pictures and finished modern quilts. Was a great source of inspiration. #modernquilts on fedi/pixelfed is quite empty unfortunately

[–] MordercaSkurwysyn@lemm.ee 3 points 15 hours ago

I miss national and regional meme communities such as 2visegrad4u. Cultural and historical context makes the memes flow much better.

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

More women-oriented communities would be great. Skincare, makeup, women's fitness, female health, nail polish, aging. I'd love that.

[–] britkatbar@lemm.ee 2 points 10 hours ago

Yes! Or fiber/needle arts! Im struggling to quit reddit because theres like 6 crochet posts over here T_T

Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 5 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (2 children)

A community for the car I own, no matter what it is. (With thousands of active members, of course.)

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

!cars@lemmy.world ?

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

No what I mean is specific communities for specific cars. A community for 350Z owners. A community for S2000 owners, a community for Toyota 4Runner owners, etc.

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 hours ago

People there post about their specific cars and get some answers. No need for separate communities until the activity grows

[–] IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe not. Lemmy is very anti-car, it wouldn't take off here and would get massively downvoted.

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 4 points 19 hours ago

I'm aware of that; doesn't mean that I can't still wish for it

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 9 points 1 day ago

All of the individual games I play and not just the general "gaming" subs. Plenty of video game enthusiasts on Lemmy; not enough to geek out over specific games. Or at least... Not the ones I play.

[–] Sauvandu60@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I want lostmedia and unsolvermysteries communities to exist and be more active.

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 3 points 19 hours ago

Ah I'd love for unresolvedmysteries to exist in an active form!

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

unfortunately the things I would most like are things I don't currently participate in that I greedly would love to be in the loop about. so pathfinder, star trek online, and champions online.

[–] Toekneegee@lemm.ee 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Pathfinder has communities here. It's just a shame that they're not more active

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

yeah im on it but like even the news from paizo is not regularly posted which is like I same the minimum it needs to get any traction.

[–] Toekneegee@lemm.ee 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Well, maybe we need to be the change we'd like to see in the community? Idk, I'm pretty lazy and busy so if I tried I'd probably give up after a few weeks

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 2 points 20 hours ago

yeah my original comment was on how im not active with them but I greedily wish there was active communities for my vicarious pleasure.

[–] beSyl@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

There is a whole instance for star trek!

Startrek.website. I don't think they have a community for the game though. Maybe ask one of their mods to create it? /u/valuesubtracted@startrek.website.

Edit: how does one tag a user?

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 4 points 1 day ago

im aware. star trek online is an mmo.

Actually active formuladank community

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I really should visit !formuladank@lemmy.world more actively, most of the time the posts in there dont even show up on my feeds I think

Oh, man, if we could find someone on lemmy with the time, energy, and mad skills to do the same kind of race recaps that u/Alphamaxnova1 used to do I would be so happy.

[–] formulaBonk@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Hell even lost rocket powered Mohawk on YouTube so I think it’s just the Covid hype is dying down unfortunately. But yeah alphamaxnova1 is the goat of f1 shitposts

There appears to be nothing here yet that can rival https://old.reddit.com/r/advice.
