What community would you like to see more active on Lemmy?
-
Liberal gun owners. (Don't know how to link properly.)
https://old.lemmy.world/c/liberalgunowners
Such a great reddit community, or used to be. No toxic right-wing shit, just people showing off their builds and buys, asking questions, getting solid advice with no bullshit, talking laws and legal repercussions, linking timely news, loads of trans people posting. No judging! A new person could come in with the same damned question we'd covered 500 times. No problem! We'd all jump in and help.
Fuck I miss that place. It's dead here. Also, I think there are a few people that go in there solely to downvote. Don't know how to check logs, not interested enough to try, but it looks like assholes are trying to spoil it.
And FFS, NOW is the time left-minded Americans should be getting armed! Blacks, LGBTs and women have been the largest gun buying demographic for several years. They need help and they need a judgement free space to get it.

I suspect most people aren't subbing/following communities on Lemmy. So post the community or topic you want to see pop off. And reader(that's you) if you are interested in that community click the link and follow it.
Let's start coordinating people.wrote last edited by [email protected]I'm trying to start a mental health support community that's skills based to hopefully help people who can't afford or otherwise access professional therapy.
Here's the wiki (the main page has a quickstart guide if you're looking for some things you can do today even just to maybe help stabilize yourself a little)
Here's a specific list of ways you can get involved with growing this community

Let's start coordinating people.Arab communities since we're such a small minority. I think the community with the most MAU is [email protected] but its still very small.

That's the one sub I'll still peek in now and then. Especially since my guys won it this year. Lol.
Thunder up!

Let's start coordinating people.DJs! I can't be the only one on Lemmy, but the community is completely dead.

I'd like to see a community for cool stuff happening in NYC.
I'd like to see more stuff for organizing protests and resistance, also for the NYC area.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Same but for the Los Angeles area. There is one but it's dead.

Let's start coordinating people.When I first stumbled into Lemmy I kinda gravitated to the medical communities, but from day one they've all been pretty dead. Just added a couple more subs now prompted by this thread to see if there was an active one. Here's what I've got in my collection:
...sorted all of them by Top: Month, and there are a grand total of maybe 20 posts spread over only three of the communities. One of those three only showed a single post; and a pretty even split on the remaining two. The rest of them were empty. It's spread way too thin: I've only run into a few other medical peeps here on Lemmy - we don't have 12 communities worth of material.
I kinda wish we'd merge them... which I know goes against the grain of how the fediverse is supposed to operate.
[email protected] and [email protected] were the two most active ones. Mander.xyz seems like a better home for medical talk, but the rules in the sidebar are far too strict for a community this size. [email protected] seems the best at the moment.
...and I'm 100% part of the problem I'm whining about. Outside of a couple introduction posts and questions for the community, I haven't posted anything there either. I should.

Let's start coordinating people.wrote last edited by [email protected]whatis this thing communities, certain online games still has a community on reddit but not lemmy(not the generalized game discussion).
location specific communities, but that doesnt seem to be large here lemmy, and ones that arnt overtaken by conservatives, gatekeeper and astroturfers.

I'm mildly proud of the fact that the Mini Apple has a more active community than the Big Apple, lol.
[email protected], and I'm like half of that activity and it's pretty dead. Make it, post, and maybe you'll have more luck, but local communities are tough given the small userbase.
(We also have a Democratic Socialist running for mayor, good luck to both Mamdani and Fateh!)

The NBA community ([email protected]) is small but decently active. We had live game threads for the playoffs but it was like 5 people commenting lol. It was still fun though, and hopefully it grows more.
That's how we get it started. 5 people active on live game thread leads people to see 'oh, when it's live there is a group hanging out here' next time you'll have 7 then 12 then 30. Keep it up!

Oh subbed thanks!

Music theory and conlangs. There are several conlang communities - but they're all on life support (or worse).
What is conlangs? Music theory I am down for too.

wrote last edited by [email protected]most of them are on reddit, and probably unaware that lemmy exists, plus there are still medical based forums out there too. probably hard to see out of the 50k users, which one will ask a medical based issue.

This is great! I think the ones that get more subs will generally rise to the top and people will start congregating there.
I'm seeing a bunch of upvotes on peoples comments here. I'm hoping that those people are also subbing to the communities they see in here.
I'm gonna try to remember to post this kind of question maybe once a month and over time we'll get communities popping off.
