Moderators interested in migrating to a new community on another instance might want to consider selecting an instance and doing so sooner rather than later so that users here have time to see a migration post here and subscribe to the new community.

The sole moderator here, @gandolfini_[email protected], last commented/posted a month ago. I've no idea how closely he's monitoring the situation, but it's possible that if he doesn't log in for the next three weeks, he might not notice what's going on until after the instance has gone down.

If that happens, then he won't have a great way to point to any new community. Maybe monitor [email protected] or [email protected], and he could post an announcement there?

The exclamation point format is this:

[[email protected]](/c/[email protected])

As an example, mentions should look like these:

[email protected]
[email protected]

This is especially relevant when promoting a new community in the aforementioned communities, as otherwise it's less convenient to visit and join your community. A standard link would take someone off-site to whichever site the community's on, instead of its copy on their home site.

Forgot to include this key point as I was writing and revising all this:
Include these mentions in your post bodies! Having it in the title of the post alone doesn't help, as it doesn't create any link to click or tap through.

p.s. when typing these mentions, the WebUI will try to provide suggestions to autocomplete, select the right one and it should do the trick. App interfaces will vary but should provide some method to do similar in their post/comment editors, either try typing the mention or looking for an exclamation point in the editor and following what the interface offers to help.

Not my community, but I figured it might be of interest to gamers here. Post stolen right off of [email protected].

This community is to find that game you can’t remember. Like it’s on the tip of your tongue.

Do you remember something about a game, but can’t find the title? Do you want to finally know what it is? Post here and maybe someone can help.

Come to find your game, or help others find theirs!

[email protected]

I often come across ideas for new communities (sometimes I even have them myself), but I'm not always sure whether they would get traction.

How about a "suggest a community" community, where people can post suggestions, and get feedback on the idea, maybe tweak it a bit to be more useful, and also look for co-moderators?

It could act in parallel to [email protected]

Anyone have any ideas for how this could work better? Anyone want to co-moderate one?

This is a more focused revision of a post I made a few months ago, with an aim to help with discovery across the fediverse.

Searching and Following methods
This will vary across software, and may change as it changes, so take note of when this was written (end of March 2025).

By default, ActivityPub sites don't know of other, remote sites. Any remote site stuff you're seeing is because somehow the site your on was made aware of the other's stuff. Typically this may be that a user learns of a remote site's stuff in some way and decides to follow from their home site by looking it up via their site's search then subscribing/following.

All of the above format-specific links I've provided above are means of finding some remote sites' stuff to follow on one's home site. Below are some additional tools and methods to further help when using some of these different sites.

If you're aware of other resources, tools, or methods that I've not mentioned here, please mention them in the comments! There's undoubtedly more to add that I've not come across.

Hey all, I've created a comm for my favourite infra automation tool: Ansible.

There's one in l.w. but it's been abandoned for a while now and barely has any traffic, so I felt it's a good time to distribute things a while

[email protected]

EDIT: Ignore the thumbnail. Lemmy is bugging out again with the previews.

Follow up from https://lemm.ee/post/57999596 and https://lemm.ee/post/58201093 and

See https://lemmy.world/c/football for an example of what we would like to do.

The moderation team would stay the same. We’ll keep a pinned post here to say we are moving.

We’ll promote it on [email protected] and [email protected]

Impact for people here would be minimal. We can even ping regular posters and commenters like https://lemmy.world/post/24312613

We can always revisit later if needed.

You can vote below about this decision. ~~We’ll see what the decision is in 24h hours.~~

Vote extended to Monday evening US time. We can then discuss what we want to do then.

There is a community in Lemmy but it's been abandoned. I use to run one in Kbin until it died, so I am launching a new one via Mbin. Come kiki and spill the T on your favorite drag shows!

Kind of a companion thread to the recent one on [email protected] asking people which community there were missing.

I had a quick look, and most of those seem to be niches that can't be filled until we reach a higher population.

There is still maybe some potential improvement about some less well-known community that other people are interested in and that could some additional activity.

I try to help to make less known communities known with the regular threads on [email protected] (now moving to [email protected] ), but there is probably only a level of detail we have to stop at with 47k monthly active users.

One example is [email protected], it seems reasonable active, and is probably a better compromise than having each game having its own community.

Similar with [email protected], or [email protected]. I posted a thread about Ted Lasso a few days ago, it got some nice comments, but probably not enough to have a full fledged dedicated community.

La communauté: [email protected]

Une liste de 30 communautés actives:

• https://jlai.lu/post/15078284
• https://lemmyverse.link/jlai.lu/post/15078284

Vous l'aurez sans doute remarqué, Jlai.lu n'est pas encore super actif, notamment sur les sujets de niches. Comme le Reddit des débuts, c'est souvent plus simple de trouver une communauté en anglais avec plus de monde.

Освен основната ни цел да привличаме повече българи, тези дни се опитах да популяризирам повече и теми, които могат да интересуват и не-българи. За целта рекламирах двете ни международни общности за Черно море и Балканите по други общности, основно [email protected] и [email protected].

Като резултат и двете общности отчитат удвояване на абонатите за няколко дни и поне един българин в леми, който сега научава за нашата инстанция. Така че мога да кажа, че експериментът е успешен и ще го продължа.

Знам, че в момента повечето от вас са на вълна Bluesky, но ако минавате насам, помислете дали ви интересува да направим някоя друга над-българска общност, напр. кирилица, пан-славянска (знам, че звучи великоруско, но не е задължително да е така) или нещо от рода на експат. Друга тема, която е много типична за това, което българите дават на света е технологиите, но аз лично изобщо нямам интерес да поддържам такава общност. Други идеи?
