Hi! I'm British, I like music (grime, garage, hip-hop, R&B, and more!). I like art, culture, history, politics, & doomscrolling memes.

Also a touch of programming :)

A list of casual communities on Lemmy (that aren't just tech news or politics)

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/2216085


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.

Directory

  • Finding New Communities
  • Conversation Communities - for c
  • Pruned and updated this list a bit. Feel free to let me know about places worth adding.

  • 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.

  • Nah lemmy.ml is still federated. You can see it listed here https://lemmy.world/instances

  • [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.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • Lmao

  • not surprised honestly. The trailer screamed "generic whacky!!! fun!!! comedy animation" and they just slapped a familiar IP ontop, didn't match the vibe of the comic at all.

  • Not needed imo, I'd just spend the money on the app and pocket the rest.

  • I posted twice (2 times), you'll survive.

    Niger: Former Nigerian emir of Kano meets the putschists

    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.

  • Most of them seem to be moving to discuit, another centralised platform, Lol

  • ANY internet platform that proclaims itself as a guardian of free speech is either overun by racists, xenophobes and the like or, at the very least, holds a significant number of them. There's a reason most 2000s internet platforms (e.g, Reddit) eventually dropped 'Free Speech' as a policy over time.

  • honestly reading this, it just sounds to me like he isn't cut out for community management. It is stressful and hard sometimes, so I get it, but he's going to kill his own site doing this. I did wonder about this before - it seemed like to me he regularly made changes based on feedback on a whim, and these changes were often rushed without much thinking. Needs to know when to pass the baton elsewhere and stick to development, but alas...

    The last comments also speak to someone who's probably hiding some contrarian views of his own.

    Shame.
