Just curious to see what communities you would like to see more engagement in.
Here’s a couple I joined but it’s been pretty quiet:
Removed by mod
This was a fucked up place to learn about.
… I joined!
the instance is pretty much dead and that means the community is dead also.
The one I created! 😏
Kava!
!whatisthiscar@lemmy.world - Post pictures of spotted cars that you cannot identify.
!oldcars@kbin.social - for classic car enthusiasts
!swimming@lemmy.world - self-explanatory
!countrymusic@lemmy.world - Country Music
!idiotsincars@lemmy.world - also self-explanatory, a bit more active than the others. Submit your dashcam footage here of idiot drivers
I dont own/mod any of these but would like to see more people active in them
OHHHH Idiots IN cars!
Not Idiot Sin Cars
I’m a big fan of !Cocktails@lemmy.world
‘Does your aviation taste like nail polish remover?’
That was a strange post title to read.
Lol it’s like a buzzfeed article
!aeropress@lemmy.world For all your puckshots.

I created !15minutecity@slrpnk.net and it’s got some activity but it could definitely use more!
I’m already subbed but I’ll try contribute!
I created @insect_photography during the migration and it started off nicely. Activity has gone down though so be welcome to just check in if you’re interested or have something to share!

!sbcgaming@lemmy.ml, used to explore it daily on that other site, but now it hardly receives new posts :(
That’s a thing?! Closest is me half running xonotic on a rasp pi(fonts didn’t load)
Yes it is a thing, and it is a beautiful thing.
I like this idea. We should make a topic like this every month or so, maybe in the fediverse community, too. Discoverability is so hard on the fediverse.
Agreed, an occasional ‘niche community spotlight’ post to different meta communities would be great. I’ve found heaps here I had no idea existed!
The old subreddit r/bestof was great for finding niche communities on Reddit. Maybe a Lemmy version could exist, but aimed specifically at highlighting niche communities and their content?
we do have !newcommunities@lemmy.world
There is also !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl and this was posted the other day: https://stirante.github.io/lemmy-discover/
There was the subreddit of the day on reddit that was cool to see smaller or obscure ones highlighted. Something like that would be nice on here as well.
Here are some
-
!theNightFeeling@lemmy.world - this community was quiet on Reddit as well, which was nice in it’s own way. It could use some more content though
-
the various animal communities, like !awwducational@lemmy.world
Good taste, I’m already subbed to thenightfeeling!
Amazing! I’ll post some stuff eventually 😄
Subbed to the night feeling!!
TheNightFeeling was my primary source of wallpapers on the other website. Thanks for mentioning this one.
I did the exact same, and it works great with dark mode style theming
Just subbed to awwducational, love that it’s moderated by Nosferatu lol

I usually try to populate the main ones, even popular ones such as !comicstrips@lemmy.world or !europe@feddit.de don’t have that much content.
I’m taking those two as examples because comicstrips usually makes it to Top of All when content is posted, and Europe is potentially appealing to a large audience (326 users a week)
I would love to see more comics on Lemmy. I’ve been using an RSS feed for them
If think in that case using a bot would make sense
Yea it might work pretty well, with an option for creators to request that the bot stop pulling their content. The feed reader already pulls the image, title and link, so it shouldn’t be hard for someone to set it up to automatically post
