I am trying to. I just found about lemmy today.
Can someone recommend me some other stuff?

MODERATORS
Recommend Lemmy communities, or other Fediverse alternatives (like Mastodon as a replacement for Twitter, the same way Lemmy replaces Reddit)?
yes and I don't mind you can mention other Fediverse alternatives
I run a few history communities myself
[email protected] to share or admire pieces of the past - swords, armor, jewelry, or pieces of everyday life
[email protected] for photographs of the past (or film)
[email protected] for drawings and the sort of the past
[email protected] for photos of old ruins, if you enjoy seeing such things
And a few history meme communities with them
[email protected] for memes about history of all sorts, no restrictions!
[email protected] for memes about the GLORIOUS ROMAN EMPIRE
[email protected] for posts about the US Civil War and how slaver scum deserved their defeat
More generally, there's:
[email protected] for memes about ADHD and related disorders. A lot of comorbidity there.
[email protected] for anime pics of cool weapons and armor
[email protected] if you have any questions on random bits of history you've been wondering about
[email protected] for the ever-popular video game Baldur's Gate 3
[email protected] for pics of your own dogs or random dogs you've found online. Precious creatures!
[email protected] for the same, but for cats
[email protected] if you like old or obscure firearms
[email protected] for Lord of the Rings memes
[email protected] if you want some wholesome posts to take your mind off things or brighten your day.
[email protected] if you like anime girls in uniform
[email protected] or [email protected] for tongue-in-cheek militaria shitposting
[email protected] for talk about Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Elden Ring, etc
[email protected] for memes by/about/for girls who love girls
[email protected] for memes about tabletop RPGs like Dungeons and Dragons
[email protected] or [email protected] for memes in general (not much difference between the communities, just whichever you prefer - or both)
[email protected] for Warhammer/40K memes or memes about similar tabletop games
[email protected] for random posts that don't go anywhere else. Just put 'rule' in the title - as the 'rule' is that you must post before you leave!
Nice list
is Loops out now? I was wondering when that'd come around.
Apparently the official app was released out of beta recently if I'm not mistaken.

Despite my seniority around these parts (first started an interest in lemmy around 2022) I'm not too tied into the community around here. I'd reccomend just subscribing to some interesting large communities, communities around your interests and whatever community would be best for whatever pops into your mind! If you'd like, feel free to message me and we can throw around ideas of what could be right for you!
Hello
Just wanted to pop in and say, I am so glad so many of you are taking this to heart! I am sitting here with a genuine smile on my face, which for reference NEVER happens. Thank you everyone!
Make a nice poster that encourages people to not just lurk, or dig one up if there's an old post. Post it weekly in [email protected]

I got you rosahaj! I'll try to be better this year!
glad to hear it Oofnik!
On one hand yeah! But on the other, I'm not fully sure we want the Reddit chain of comments that add nothing to the conversation?
You aren't entirely wrong, but I feel it could help build an appearance of high activity, which would help attract people. Also; many people wish to contribute but stifle the words before they can come out of their mouth, and I'm hoping a post like this could be the push they needed.
It's a fair call, I think I'll push send more often from now on!
Honestly half the reason I don't post these days is more not wanting to feed LLMs/dox myself further, but that's a whole other can of worms

But can we still be scenical? Since social media doesn't fulfill a need perse, I was thinking maybe my scenical comments with misspelled words at wrongly advised times would help. It helps me relieve work related stress. Is that how you spell scenical? Scenical, when you cause a scene. No I mean Cynical! Yeah that one!

100%! Been doing it for a year.
Also, I find a nice way to fill my feed is to liberally subscribe to communities on Lemmy. I'm currently subscribed to 133. I set my feed to Subscribed+Scaled and that works incredibly well to show me what I care about. Then when I get bored, I flip to All+TopDay to get what I missed that day.

press send on that post that you felt wasn't of enough substance to be worth anyone's time.
I feel like you vastly underestimate the amount of subpar shitposts I'm capable of composing (and then thinking better of) in a given day.
Hear, hear!
What is peoples opinions on reposting. Sometimes i see a cool video from a creator i like and i want to repost it to loops but i feel like im stealing and reuploading their work. I think reposting to lemmy is fine since its a link aggregation site first.
