Chilean here, my favorite community is !anythingbutmetric@discuss.tchncs.de

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 13 points 5 days ago

Also, feel free to redirect people to !AskUSA@discuss.online for US specific questions

Apart from some political communities I like, Science Memes is nice. !science_memes@mander.xyz.

I would have liked !physics@mander.xyz if it was more active :(, I hope it gains traction later.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 13 points 5 days ago

I'm just here to post my silly "performance art" (it's porn, but not like most porn...)

Kiwi here

European and I love the Aussie and Canada communities. The Europe ones are good too but I feel like there's more banter in those other ones. The Ireland one is picking up steam which is great.

!tenforward@lemmy.world too for the Star Trek memes. I watched TNG through with my now 18 year old when she was about 10-11 and I'm in the middle of it with my 11 year old now so I send them on and we have a good laugh.

They're both amazed that new Star Trek the next generation memes are still being made on the daily.

I also get silly laughs out of !noncredibledefense@lemmy.world and !roughromanmemes@lemmy.world .

Shout out to /u/PugJesus for the Roman memes. I try to throw OC in there if I ever dream any up but that's not often.

!196@lemmy.blahaj.zone That's where I find the funniest memes. And it's respectful of everyone regardless of gender, ethnic group and so on.

[–] Marty_TF@lemmy.zip 8 points 5 days ago

funhole and unix surrealism.

[–] beerclue@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

When I'm not lurking the many linux, homelab or selfhosting communities, I'm on !cooking@lemmy.world and !foodporn@lemmy.world .

[–] hitagi@ani.social 6 points 5 days ago

I love all the anime communities.

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 6 points 5 days ago

I'm from the US but haven't lived there in a decade so maybe I count? I also use mbin and not lemmy, but close enough. I like the various science communities most, I think. I actually don't really use subscriptions and just block communities that I have zero interest in so it's a bit tougher to say 'I always go to xxxx'.

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 5 points 5 days ago

If I had to pick just one, it would probably be !shittydarksouls@lemmy.world

[–] gigachad@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago

I don't know if you've checked out aussie.zone much yet, but my favourite is definitely:

!melbourne@aussie.zone

The daily discussion threads are just cozy and nice.

[–] Loduz_247@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

!pics@lemmy.world For the photos that are uploaded in that community

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 4 days ago

!Ask@lemm.ee it's got good rates of posts, a nice vibe and it's well run.

!dadforaminute@lemmy.world it's full of supportive parents for the moments when people have none

South African here. Not really that invested in seeing any South African communities grow here if I'm honest. I don't really feel any particular connection or pride for any sort of heritage. My 'culture' is cartoons and comics and video games and western music subcultures.

I do like that non-Americans are more visible here though. It feels like much more of an international crowd here on Lemmy.

Can't say I've found any particular subreddits that feel like home yet. Once I'm back on the horse watching pro wrestling I'll probably use SquaredCircle a lot again. On Reddit, I'd be most active in subreddits based on whatever I'm currently watching or playing. Which isn't really a thing here yet. Like, one of the last subs I was fairly active in on Reddit was the Sonic the Hedgehog sub. There's a community here but last I checked it was pretty dead. Most of the communities that I would be active in are entertainment based, I guess.

And of course I appreciate a lot of the communities in Blahaj. Although I'm still mostly floating around finding myself in the regard.

Something else that I'm appreciating is the amount of random animal subs that come through my feed that I'm slowly subbing to. From cats and dogs to raccoons and possums and otters and crows and owls. There's a new one I'm coming across almost every day and I love it.
