These are all excellent communities, and invariably some of my favorite posts of the day. I’m seeing them on lemmy.world, btw.

!cyberpunk@lemmy.zip - mostly games, movies, shows, and music in the cyberpunk sci-fi genre
!wavemusic@lemmy.world - music: synthwave, vaporwave, etc. A fairly new community, a couple different people have been posting
!gothindustrial@lemmy.world - music community. I was hoping someone else would make the 300th post, if not I’ll post something later today.
!fullmoviesonyoutube@lemm.ee - a larger community, a couple of us are posting regularly, but could use more discussion
!fedigrow@lemm.ee - a community about how to help grow the fediverse. @Blaze@reddthat.com has been posting a weekly thread on “how is your [niche] community doing?” which is kind of like a support group for people keeping communities alive
edit: how could I forget, !shortstories@literature.cafe - links to short stories online in all genres
I thought the swiss people seemed sometimes kinda "rude"or maybe a better word for it “cold” and a little annoyed
I have some Swiss-American relatives, and I think this is cultural. They just have a different set of indicators, they’re not going to be grinning and hugging.
I have a friend who went to London and just ate at Whole Foods all the time. So, vegans can survive.
“smoke copium, non-resident”?
They are 30-minute sessions. I did them in my car during work commute. Many public libraries have them. Here’s the first session: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eguDJPkjPwQ
I’ve used the Pimsleur language programs for a couple languages. It’s audio based: you hear a recording, and you say it out loud. A great way to get started.
This would make an awesome episode of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”
visiting a neat-sounding community and realizing all the posts are by the single moderator (and are getting less and less frequent).
This will be a key moment towards Lemmy’s growth or decline. Especially in non-tech/meme/politics communities, it’s so easy for the only poster be a single person who is posting daily, and who then simply runs out of content. Maybe the solution is for each frequent poster to post non-daily on several different communities. Anyway, check out !fedigrow@lemm.ee, @Blaze@reddthat.com has started posting a weekly thread on “How is your niche community doing?”
Finally, wave comes to lemmy.
!synthwave@lemmy.world has been here a while and there was waveform.social before that, but it’s good to see a community with an active mod. I think I’m a switch to this one.
Insane Clown Posse: Ringmaster (full album)
if you took the world and seperated its humans by intelligence, the “idiot” group is going to be much bigger than the “PhD” group. Like…by a lot.
No… you’d have a bell curve. But even that assumes you have a single good measure of intelligence.
I kind of agree with the rest of your post, but I would have worded it a bit differently, emphasizing that people who found it difficult to start using Lemmy might still be worth having around. Also, I don’t think “as large as Reddit” or “small niche unknown” are our only options.
Ellison was trolling. He did that a lot.
It’s !linkedinlunatics@sh.itjust.works here, fyi.
Party Bus will live out the rest of his life on a ranch in Eastern Washington, where he will breed future generations of rodeo bulls.
Happy ending for Party Bus!
Fake news. In truth, Sir Stewart Wallace’s schedule was filled with escapades, adventures, and tomfoolery, which prevented him from committing.
Yeah but you’re right.
I just say: “It’s like email. There are different email servers, but they can all talk to one another. If there are things you really like, you can subscribe to them, and if there are things you don’t like, you can block them.”
Or replace “email” with “instant messages”.
Hitchhiker’s is good but is more of a comedy
You say that like that’s a bad thing…
@PugJesus@lemmy.world it’s time to “cross the Rubicon” to full federation!
