What kind of communities would you like to see either created or become more active on Lemmy?

[subarctictundra@lemmy.ml]

You just need a big blocklist. I wish it was easier to share/crowd source them

You'd think, wouldn't you? I suspect it's because we're mostly middle aged (or older) so we're not playing TTRPGs any more. But I am! And I demand posts!

All of those kinds of communities, where people tell anecdotes about their lives, turned into creative writing excerises for wannabe authors long before we had to worry about AI slop. TIFU, AmITheAsshole, RelationshipAdvice, etc. were all getting pretty derivative and sensational for clicks long before the exodus. Now they're all either that or illiterate attention seekers showing off the results of their latest LLM prompts. I liked those stories too, but I don't want anything to do with any of those communities anymore. It all just turned into a training ground for LLMs generating engagement. YouTube still tries to force those dumb AI story voiceover videos to me constantly. We used to joke that "nothing ever happens", but everyday that sentiment feels a little less cynical and a little more real.

Time for some NERD PRIDE

[slartybartfast@sh.itjust.works]

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

[hansolo@lemmy.today]

Cast iron

Hot sauce recipes

Conspiracy weirdness, ghosts and shit

...maybe not in that order.

[hansolo@lemmy.today]

Hard agree. Lemmy could do with a touch of woo.

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

[jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world]

Solarpunk and anything that is systems-minded and constructive.

[junkthief@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

They’re called “communities” on Lemmy, no need to bring reddit-speak with us over here

[slartybartfast@sh.itjust.works]

Doesn't "subforum" predate Reddit?

[huskernation@lemmy.zip]

Ah a fellow cast iron enthusiast

[fritzapollo@lemmy.today]

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.

[extramedicated@lemmy.world]

I used to like reading the medium - long stories on the malicious complience subreddit. [email protected] just never really took off here.

[junkthief@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

You’re right, I’m bringing reddit into the picture where it was not even mentioned, I apologize. I meant to clarify that they’re usually referred to as “communities” and not “subLemmy” but did so in an unnecessarily snarky way.

[pulptastic@midwest.social]

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

[pulptastic@midwest.social]

Ooh yeah I learned so much from the Pokémon scarlet violet subreddit.

[lemmythinkaboutthat@lemmy.myserv.one]

Wow! Thank you, @Sergio!
