This is a personal collection of things I find around the internet.

Alright, so somehow you found this place. Here's what to expect:

Due to the nature of this place, you may find a bunch of stuff that you don't care about, but you may also find a new passion.

So, the gist is, this is a place where I'll share random things, and you'll discover the internet with me.

Oh yeah, I didn't advertise this place anywhere, so hey, how did you even get here?

Check out the sister sub where you discover music with me! [email protected]

A large basement space in the Science Museum now echoes to the sounds of Space Invaders to Mario Kart as the whole space has been filled with arcade and computer games.

Our mobile devices listen to and collect a significant amount of data on us, even without using our microphones.

Here are the forum guidelines, so be mindful of them before commenting/posting. I just found it myself, so I don't properly know the etiquette past that.

[x-post] - A list of casual communities on Lemmy (that aren't just tech news & politics) (lemm.ee)

Search Lemmyverse is good for finding communities.

I posted this on the other site but I thought I'd copy over here too, lots of good communities around to subscribe to if you want a more casual/fun frontpage that isn't just tech news, elon musk, or politics.

note: all of these communities have posts. If they appear empty, it simply means nobody on the instance you use has visited them before (or you might have blocked them and forgot, I've done it before, lol)!

Conversation communities

These are places that are 'chatty', good if you want a lot of comments.

"ask" based
Casual chat / Misc

Hobbies, Creative, & Passions

Misc
Artwork
Cooking

(note: also see the list under the "Food" header below)

Gardening / Plants
Keyboard enthusiasts
Knitting, Stitching, Crocheting, etc
Reading & Writing
Sport

Honestly there are so many sport communities around - if you search Lemmyverse for popular sports, you will almost certainly find more.

Nice/Interesting/Funny pictures

Animals

Literally just pictures of cute animals.

Comics
Flags
Food

(note: also see the list with the "Cooking" header above)

Maps
Memes

Meme communities in general can overload your feed, so keep that in mind.

Photography

Games

Board Games / Table top games

The ttrpg.network instance has a lot of communities based around table top gaming & RPGs.

note: the battlemaps communities seem to mostly cross-post between eachother at the moment.

Video Games

Knowledge (e.g history, science)

Space

TV

Music

Lots of music communities on Lemmy. Search Lemmyverse for genres of interest for more, this definitely isn't exhaustive.

Note that music communities generally have low comment counts, from my experience.

There's also:
