Is there any community or communities you like the most?
Does anyone know of communities where the posts are many paragraphs of OC selftext with the comments discussing it? I don’t really care what the content is, but that’s for format I’m looking for. So far it’s just links, cat pics, and memes…
Agreed! I loved communities like AITA, relationship advice, etc… on Reddit.
Lemmy is still in that early link aggregator stage, Reddit was like this too for awhile.
as the saying goes, be the change you wish to see…
You may want to check out tildes.net – great community, totally text focused experience. I find that tildes complements lemmy well, and end up on both (in addition to a few other sites) to get a well rounded aggregation/discussion experience.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Oh nice, I’ll give it a look
Do you have an account on there by any chance? It seems to be invite only…
You’ll probably need to wait a bit for those, or else start one.
People were willing to write that kind of stuff on Reddit because they knew people would see it. Possibility of attention incentivizes people to put the work in.
Here…not so much. Less incentive to put effort into big text posts without more people. Lemmy’s less than perfect sorting for Hot or Active is helping much either.
That’s kind of how Reddit was at first, too. All of this will take shape eventually it’s just not here quite yet.
I’ve made a few text/discussion based posts on a dnd community and got good engagement. People are wrong if you give them a chance.
Be the change you want to see. It’s never more true than at the beginning of something like we are now. I’ve only been here a month or two and I ashtray feel like I’ve seen Lemmy evolve over that time. It’s cool!
Ah, that would make sense
Best of redditor updates was my favorite of these, even if most of them were probably made up.
Oh yah, that one was great!
Shameless plug for my community !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works which I think is quite neat. Best gaming community imo
This is a great community.
The Lemmy community is far better than the subreddit
Hey thanks! Glad you like it :)
Almost any community named “cat” or “dog”. People should post more pictures of their happy non-human family.
Please. I need a way to break up the solid pages of awful global news in my feed, and I haven’t got any of my own to hug.
edited to add: here’s a list of cat communities , if there are other lists for other animals let me know.

I’ve been trying my best at getting !superbowl@lemmy.world going. It needs more activity, I can only photograph so many owls!
Oh that’s good. It reminds me of when Al Pacino was in that movie about a guy who’s great with scarves.

I don’t see a way to comment on the cat sub list but I’d like to plug !meow_irl@sopuli.xyz for cat memes.
I made a list of good casual Lemmy communities recently that you might find helpful :)
deleted by creator
With the death of reddit, the only thing i mourned was the loss of r/196 but now I have 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone
I’ve been seeing this in the All section… what is it?
It is a meme community that is LGBT oriented and left-leaning
Ahhh this makes a lot of sense! Thank you 🙏
World’s finest queer shitposting
💩 🌈 💩 🌈 💩 🌈 💩 🌈
I happen to like !whatcouldgowrong@lemm.ee
Probably because I am a mod there. :-)
Been liking selfhosted@lemmy.world
fixed link
!imaginarystarships@lemmy.world helps to feed my starship addiction.
Are there other imaginary communities like the subreddits? Like /r/imaginarylandscapes, dwarves, elves, portals, etc. Even one that cross posts from reddit would be cool
I see we’re all shilling the communities we mod, which makes sense if you think about it. So in that vein:
For more gamedev-related communities we’ve got a sticky post here, and for more crafting communities of all shapes and sizes there’s one here!
Apart from those I’ve been hanging around in !ukcasual@lemmy.world since both my and its very first day here on Lemmy. Like the name suggests, basically just casual UK chatter without the scourge of politics. Lots of moaning about the weather.
!discworld@lemmy.ml could do with more Pratchett fans finding it, it’s been pretty dead for the last month (not entirely surprising though as the subreddit wasn’t huge either).
And another shoutout to !anarchychess@sopuli.xyz because LOL.
the one that is up
Other than the ones we mod, you mean? 🤭
As a cross stitcher - !lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works
Holy hell
