Ask Lemmy

Been wanting to start a 'bad graffiti' sub for a while

about Love2d - lua framework for creating games

More "curated" communities (like CuratedTumblr) that have higher submission standards. One of my biggest gripes with Lemmy in recent months is the amount of low effort "updoots to the left" memes and commonly reposted material.

Solarpunk and anything that is systems-minded and constructive.

JapanFinance, RideItJapan, JapanLife/JapanResidents -- the problem is, without the knowledge of people who have lived here for a long time, it's not that useful if created. The vast amount of experience of people with starting a business, dealing with visa stuff, dealing with legal stuff, etc. is what makes those reddit communities valuable. Some of us tried to get people to move, some created similar communities, but people didn't really move.

I generally don't miss Reddit, but I do miss all the art subs. All the "imaginary" subs. ImaginaryBattlefields. ImaginaryCastles. Etc etc. 80s fantasy art subs. I like having a fair amount of art in my feeds as I scroll and I don't really get that with Lemmy. I am too lazy and distracted to create and moderate these subs myself.

Cast iron

Hot sauce recipes

Conspiracy weirdness, ghosts and shit

...maybe not in that order.

I'll be that guy:

The NSFW communities. So far if I want to see anything new I'd still have to resort to reddit which also is becoming emptier by the minute, it'd be nice if we start moving those communities here

I used to like reading the medium - long stories on the malicious complience subreddit. !maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world just never really took off here.

I'd like to see at least one of the music theory communities take off. The subreddit had a lot going for it, but it was extremely toxic in some ways. I'd like to see a nicer version of it here.

Communities related to my local city. On Reddit it’s how I found out about some events and local issues.

I would like to see a subLemmy about making cheese and yogurt

!fedigrow@lemmy.zip for people wanting to make communities more active

@razorcandy@discuss.tchncs.de !asklemmy@lemmy.world

In my opinion, two very specific subjects that highly resonate with me:
- Cryptology (as in the study of ciphers) and Steganography: a community intended for people to share puzzles, novel ciphers (Rcszqar pg s mpbra voqjdg), techniques and examples of existing/novel arts with hidden messages (e.g. the BACH motif behind some classical music), algorithms (preferably code golf), math formulas and theorems, etc.
- Occult, Esoteric and Left-hand path spiritualities, preferably focused on personal spirituality: a community intended for people who have their own individual paths/beliefs (or are willing to build one for themselves) so they can share concepts, rituales, books/grimoires and even items among them. By LHP and esoteric, some examples are (but not limited to) Lilithism and Luciferianism, Hermeticism, Thelema, Quimbanda, Gnosticism, Wicca, Neo-Hellenism, Goëtia, Theistic Satanism, among other belief systems and religions (the latter kind, "religions", preferably focused on building individual paths that can consider each one's contexts and lives and worldviews, with the Masters/Leaders being the deities and entities themselves who are being revered/worshiped).

There’s a subreddit for my town but I don’t think there’s enough of us on Lemmy to keep it active.

I actually only found Lemmy because I was looking for another SA community online after my last one had toxic mods. Can't say for sure what it's like here but the SA comm here deserves more attention I feel like. Of course, I could probably post on there some more....

Communities focused on trolling, griefing, or bullying would be nice 🙂

A bit clichê, but all of them

The main thing I miss from reddit is communities for specific games. It was nice that, whenever I started playing some game, there would be a subreddit for it where I could get advise and see what other people were doing with the game. There are very few on Lemmy. It's just too snall for that.
