Just curious to see what communities you would like to see more engagement in.
Here’s a couple I joined but it’s been pretty quiet:
I like this idea. We should make a topic like this every month or so, maybe in the fediverse community, too. Discoverability is so hard on the fediverse.
Agreed, an occasional ‘niche community spotlight’ post to different meta communities would be great. I’ve found heaps here I had no idea existed!
The old subreddit r/bestof was great for finding niche communities on Reddit. Maybe a Lemmy version could exist, but aimed specifically at highlighting niche communities and their content?
we do have !newcommunities@lemmy.world
There was the subreddit of the day on reddit that was cool to see smaller or obscure ones highlighted. Something like that would be nice on here as well.

What is this community about???
Mystery Science Theatre 3000, like the original reaction videos. A cast of silly people/robot puppets watch a movie and comment on it.
Wow I forgot this existed. I somehow found myself watching one of these as a kid and was SO confused. Haven’t seen one since. I hated it at the time because I just wanted to see the movie. Recommend one to try as an adult?
Some suggestions from a MiST who grew up watching them via friends recording them on VHS…
- Mitchell (Season 5, Episode 12)
- The Final Sacrifice (Season 9, Episode 10)
- Pod People (Season 3, Episode 3)
- Werewolf (Season 9, Episode 4)
- Time Chasers (Season 8, Episode 21)
- Overdrawn at The Memory Bank (Season 8, Episode 22)
- Hobgoblins (Season 9, Episode 7)
- Soultaker (Season 10, Episode 1)
- Catalina Caper (Season 2, Episode 4)
Some of these are available for free, some you need to get off Netflix or other places. There is a mst3k channel that plays episodes 24/7 on Pluto TV, and you can stream much of the original series (there was a revival via Kickstarter that’s on Netflix and now online) via Gizmoolex.com

There once was a website (a long time ago might still exist) that had links to YT copies people uploaded from their VHS. It had some in-browser IRC client and you could chat with others in sort of a watch party. Was where I saw a lot of seasons not played by Comedy Central / SciFi or Mystery Science Theater Hour.
This was a long time ago. Like back when browsers had plugins for Shockwave. I doubt it still exists.
I usually try to populate the main ones, even popular ones such as !comicstrips@lemmy.world or !europe@feddit.de don’t have that much content.
I’m taking those two as examples because comicstrips usually makes it to Top of All when content is posted, and Europe is potentially appealing to a large audience (326 users a week)
I would love to see more comics on Lemmy. I’ve been using an RSS feed for them
If think in that case using a bot would make sense
Yea it might work pretty well, with an option for creators to request that the bot stop pulling their content. The feed reader already pulls the image, title and link, so it shouldn’t be hard for someone to set it up to automatically post
I even posted pictures my entire collection some weeks ago to get things kickstarted but is no moving.
Dude! Definitely a community I’m interested in!
Sabes caules novelas graficos que tienen traducciones buenos en español?
Las hay a montones. Las de Alejandro Jorodowsky están todas en español por ejemplo.
Gracias!
My favorite cat sub, !scrungycats@lemmy.world.
Really trying to get !geocaching@lemmy.world off the ground
Joined, I’ve been meaning to get into this since I first heard about it like a decade ago.
Here are some
-
!theNightFeeling@lemmy.world - this community was quiet on Reddit as well, which was nice in it’s own way. It could use some more content though
-
the various animal communities, like !awwducational@lemmy.world
Just subbed to awwducational, love that it’s moderated by Nosferatu lol
Good taste, I’m already subbed to thenightfeeling!
Amazing! I’ll post some stuff eventually 😄
Subbed to the night feeling!!

Electronic hobbyist pages for Arduino and Expressif microcontrollers for project help and showcasing protects people are working on:
oo helpful to have, thanks!
!sbcgaming@lemmy.ml, used to explore it daily on that other site, but now it hardly receives new posts :(
I created @insect_photography during the migration and it started off nicely. Activity has gone down though so be welcome to just check in if you’re interested or have something to share!
Yay! So glad to see this again!!!
This was a fucked up place to learn about.
… I joined!
There are not enough single game focused communities, and the ones that do exist either have nobody in them, or are just bots spamming low-effort content that don’t garner discussion.
Communities for JRPGs (Japanese role-playing games, like Final Fantasy or Persona).
!JRPGs@kbin.social has the most subscribers so far, but the mod at !jrpg@lemmy.zip has been more active in discussion.
Edit: huh, just noticed the kbin community hasn’t updated in a while through my lemmy instance. Known issue maybe?
!battlestations@lemmy.ml has been pretty quiet… I miss looking at cool setups and vicariously imagining myself using them.
On a similar note, !buildapcsales@lemmy.ml to help turn your vicarious dreams into a reality.
Subscribed. This kind of community was an invaluable resource for me on my last build. I’ll post any sales I come across.
Awesome!
Joined and posted!
I created !15minutecity@slrpnk.net and it’s got some activity but it could definitely use more!
I’m already subbed but I’ll try contribute!
