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, !newcommunities@lemmy.world and !communitypromo@lemmy.ca are communities that you can subscribe to to see updates about communities
You must log in or register to comment.
Stick enthusiasts !stick@sh.itjust.works
Some shameless self plugs 😛:
Subscribed to Imaginary Witches, thanks!
Welcome! 🤗
For interesting/science stuff
For movies, TV and animation
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.
9 has been updated (the original one is “no link to Reddit”), but 3 is indeed funny
Pretty sure it was copied from the subreddit, back when the community was created 😅
Can I just post my whole instance 🤣
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.
@PugJesus@lemmy.world 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.
You do you!
Come to Mbin! We have active developers!
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.
HistoryMemes@kbin.social
Very good point. I just had a look at https://lemm.ee/c/HistoryMemes@kbin.social, and despite having 34 local subscribers (visible in the sidebar), the newest post are from 2 months ago.
@PugJesus@lemmy.world, you might have been posting only for LW users for a while :-/
@PugJesus@lemmy.world, 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 @sunaurus@lemm.ee 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, @ernest@kbin.social (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!
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 !shittyask@hilariouschaos.com was quite active?
Edit: just checked, last post 9 days ago
Yea thanks for the shout out! Posted again on it now lol
For casual discussions and real life topics

It’s for learning rust (the programming language) and the lemmy code base itself as a sort of “reading club”. If you’re the type of person who might be interested there’s a good chance you’ve heard of it already. We’re currently working through The Book (conventional learning resource) through a couple of Twitch streams and regular posts/discussions.
More collaborative learning activity is plenty welcome!
You’ve been doing great with that community, I hope more people get in there.
Cheers! Huuuge amount of credit goes to sorrybookbroke and jayjader running their twitch streams every week!
If you enjoy reading, !Books@Lemmy.world is pretty active place to discuss what you’re reading and review it or get recommendations.
I try to post significant price drops routinely to !ebookdeals@literature.cafe as well. I mostly post ones that I have heard good things about or read myself and really enjoyed are valid at all 3 big US ebook retailers, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon at the same time or Humble Bundles. There’s no rule against others posting deals they endorse for other regions or other books, I just wanted to avoid it being a firehouse of spammy links and I only shop US Stores.
Shamelessly promoting my community again: !homebrewing@sopuli.xyz
It averages about 1 post per week but it certainly isn’t dead.
Stumbled upon it randomly the other day, it’s pretty cool!
I am glad that you like it. It would be nice to have little more traffic but post quality is more important so I can’t complain.
