Hello,
As everybody knows, content discovery on Lemmy can sometimes be a bit tricky.
To help smaller communities to get more activity, I launch this thread for people to promote the communities they are active one.
One important criteria: please only promote communities that have been at least one post in the last 7 days. And if there is none, feel free to post there and then promote it here!
This could be a weekly thread, but let’s see how it goes
Finally, [email protected] and [email protected] are communities that you can subscribe to to see updates about communities
You must log in or register to comment.
For fans of outdoor cooking, especially with this versatile pellet grill …. [email protected](https://lemmy.world/c/traeger)
I just got one of these grills and am learning about smoking - let’s help each other out, appreciate each others efforts, and cook some feasts
@[email protected] On my instance there is 3 active communities, I am not admin in any of them but i think they’re pretty cool
[email protected] - Community dedicated to the firefox browser [email protected] - Community dedicated to the customization of Firefox [email protected] - Got very cool CSS and looks pretty and customized, dedicated to art and pics of floating things
Cool! Thanks for the Floating Is Fun shout out! I wish that CSS would federate to other instances, even if it’s just a header image like Lemmy communities get. You Lemmy users can still use interfaces like Photon and Voyager, and it looks great on those.
As for me, I like these ones: [email protected] - I comment my puzzle results in there everyday [email protected] - Good reliable world news that covers important events [email protected] - I’m American and this is better than most of our news outlets [email protected] - Good single-serving comics in my feed [email protected] - Sometimes I throw video game music at them @[email protected] - Not a community, but I end up following MentalEdge to a lot of the communities they frequent
Thank you for your comment. I really like the !floatingisfun one, it looks even better with the custom CSS!
I think the rest of my communities haven’t seen activity lately, so I’ll have to post in them first!
I did not expect !beds to be about Bedfordshire. I assumed it was furniture related.
I was going to put Bedfordshire in brackets next to that, but I forgot. I knew it could cause confusion!
Its okay nothing to lose sleep over.
For those situations where all you can say is wtf?!:
Didn’t know about this one, thanks!
Were the community rules copied straight out of Reddit or something? 3 and 9 are a bit funny.
Pretty sure it was copied from the subreddit, back when the community was created 😅
9 has been updated (the original one is “no link to Reddit”), but 3 is indeed funny
Well I guess [email protected] [email protected] and [email protected] are already quite well known.
[email protected] and [email protected] are kinda cool as well. In general have a look at our community list, we have some good ones that are at least reasonably active.
Some casual history promotion
kbin.social has been totally down for a while. I don’t think your posts are actually federating when you post into a kbin.social magazine right now; the votes you are getting are probably from other lemmy.world users only.
Very good point. I just had a look at https://lemm.ee/c/[email protected], and despite having 34 local subscribers (visible in the sidebar), the newest post are from 2 months ago.
@[email protected], you might have been posting only for LW users for a while :-/
@[email protected], you might have been posting only for LW users for a while :-/
this is unfortunately correct for the time being.
while we still have aggressive rate limits in place to limit federation impact from kbin bugs, which started with the measures that @[email protected] mentioned, this wouldn’t impact activities coming from lemmy.world towards kbin.social.
while kbin.social used to break down every now and then based on what i saw people comment, service was typically restored within a short period of time. more recently however, any time i’ve looked at kbin.social in the past couple weeks, it’s only been showing an error page. i suspect it may have been unavailable the entire time, not just at the times i looked at it. looking at our federation stats, the last successfully sent activity from lemmy.world to kbin.social was dated 2024-06-18 00:12:25 UTC, although the actual send date may have been later. successful is also not necessarily guaranteed, as some error codes might be misinterpreted as success due to how servers can be set up and how response status codes are interpreted on the sending side.
if activities sent from lemmy.world don’t reach kbin.social then the posts and comments won’t be relayed to other instances. this is generally an issue in activitypub when instances are down, as such “orphaned” (at the time) communities effectively become local-only communities, isolated islands on all instances that already know about them.
at this point, the last time we’ve received an activity submission (federation traffic) from kbin.social as on 18th of June, so it seems like it was working for some time on that day and has been broken since.
at the start of this month, @[email protected] (kbin.social owner, main kbin dev) said that he was going to hand over management of kbin.social to someone else, as he’s currently unable to take care of it. presumably this hasn’t happened yet.
Thank you for jumping in and providing this context!
These are all excellent communities, and invariably some of my favorite posts of the day. I’m seeing them on lemmy.world, btw.
They are basically local-only communities on lemmy.world at this point, unfortunately. There is no federation to any other instance for any lemmy.world user posts on those communities.
@[email protected] it’s time to “cross the Rubicon” to full federation!
I’m gonna give Kbin a little while longer to get its shit together, but if need be, I’ll swap to Lemmy.world in the near future.
They have been out for 12 days, hope is quite low
Ernest said he was handing over the reigns to someone else soon. I’d like to give them a chance before I bail on Kbin. I really like Kbin.
Come to Mbin! We have active developers!
You do you!
Hello,
Thank you for sharing. I clicked on the two first ones, and the last posts seem to be from 28 days ago (the OP suggested to only post communities with at least a post in the last 7 days), and the kbin.social link sends to an error page.
Are you planning to move those communities to another instance?
Both of them have upvoted posts in the past 15 hours.

Indeed, thanks! I guess it is just a federation issue on my side. When that’s the case, I would usually try to see the community on its host instance, but couldn’t here.
Thank you for keeping all of those alive !
I think it’s not really on your side, most likely either just something wrong on kbin.social itself, OR a side-effect of the measures lemmy.world implemented against kbin.social recently.

Hello,
Thank you for the list, but you might have missed this from the OP:
One important criteria: please only promote communities that have been at least one post in the last 7 days. And if there is none, feel free to post there and then promote it here!
Could you please only post communities that fit this criteria? :)
Ah, it’s alright nvm then lol thank you though for the opportunity!
No worries, if you have any active community on your instance, feel free to post it here!
IIRC, the [email protected] was quite active?
Edit: just checked, last post 9 days ago
Yea thanks for the shout out! Posted again on it now lol
Manual hobbies
Europe specific
- [email protected] for news
- [email protected] for casual conversations
- [email protected] for OSRS
- [email protected] for birds
- [email protected] for small birds
Thanks for sharing!
The last one is cute, but last post seems to be from 23 days ago
Why birds and not [email protected] ?
Probably an opportunity for consolidation
Yeah i don’t really see the difference in topic, also on the same instance.
Film photography: [email protected]
Dragons! [email protected]
[email protected] you think companies preventing you from repairing your stuff is BS?
There is [email protected], maybe you can promote your community there?
For casual discussions and real life topics
