I created a boardgame community and if you love boardgames, consider joining!

I created a shadowrun community: [email protected]

EDIT: Also, someone just created a [email protected]. Subscribed as soon as I saw it, planning to put some of my fav Foundry VTT sci-fi maps there.

[–] PriorProject 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Joined.

Not sure if you play any other systems, but pathfinder.social is a topic-oriented instance with a bunch of pathfinder/starfinder communities that may interest you. Not much traffic yet though.

Edit: In the ttrpg space there's also:

I saw pathfinder.social go up and subscribed to everything as soon as it did :))

I don't play PF2e yet, planning to start my first campaign late this year

If you have any questions about getting set up, the Find the Path discord server has a TON of experienced GMs who love to talk shop. Link to it is on the top right of https://find-path.com

I created a cybersecurity community: [email protected]

Whether you're a seasoned cybersecurity professional, a student, or someone with a passing interest, feel free to join and contribute! I've been posting relevant news articles and research as I find them, but I would love for there to be more social/conversational posts as well.

I created [email protected] - a place for teachers to discuss methods and tools for teaching. (Mostly because I'm going to miss r/ScienceEducation and r/Teachers)

[–] Druidgrove 1 points 1 year ago

Hey! I am in search of a community similar to r/Teachers. Has !teaching already been created?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Great thread! Let's get some activity in these communities!

I just started Polyamory Alberta ([email protected])! It would be great to see this build up as a community of folks that are seeking an alternative to traditional monogamous relationships There are resources, advice, and topics for all folks to learn more about this relationship style.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I posted know this question had been asked in the past few days, but maybe a mod here could make a daily post for new communities? There's going to be a lot of new communities created in the next few days, so it'd be neat to have a daily post to help with discovery, either here or on another of the larger communities.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

We have all your pop music needs over at poptalk.scrubbles.tech!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I want my Phish community back :)

I created [email protected] as a generalist cycling sub, hoping to recapture /r/xbiking's spirit of inclusion and enthusiasm about bikes, but being open to a wider variety of types of cyclists; commuters, tourers, roadies, MTB, fixies, whatever!

I also made [email protected] for learning and sharing experiences about psychedelic drugs!

Stumbled across [email protected] earlier and I hope it gains traction.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m getting a 404 for the bicycles one :(

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Try searching [email protected] on your instance (including the exclamation mark). You might have to click "next" on the results once or twice, but it should show up!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I created an Obsidian community. Obsidian is my life now after adopting it as my Personal Knowledge Management System several months ago

[email protected]

[–] aqua_synonym 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You definitely got a new subscriber here! I use Obsidian for my worldbuilding and it's neat!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It’s changed my life. Everything goes into Obsidian now.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I've created [email protected]. It's an internet aesthetic, combining nostalgia, surrealism, Y2K aesthetics, and confusion into a niche art style.

Based on my parents' reactions to it, it's an acquired taste, but it's worth a look. Read more about it on the Aesthetics Wiki, here (via BreezeWiki).

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Composers, join me in [email protected]!

It'd be neat to listen to your stuff!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I created a sub for the best band in the world: [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I liked to check in on r/popheads from time to time on reddit because I'm into pop music, and there's /c/[email protected], which doesn't seem to have that many users so I'd like to see that grow

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I made [email protected] yesterday. Its counterpart in the other place is a lot of fun. Come be a catty bitch with me about other peoples' personal taste! πŸ˜‹

EDIT: here's the full URL if you're on Jerboa. It's clickable for me: https://midwest.social/c/zillowgonewild

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Sorry, that might sound dumb. But how do I subscribe? I’m registered on lemmy.ml. Do I have to register on midwest as well? 😊

Edit: ok I think I got it. You can still subscribe by going to lemmy.ml and search for the community β€œ[email protected]β€œ (even if it’s in another site/instance)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

No, if you search on your Lemmy instance for the community, it will pull it for you. I have had trouble searching before (sometimes) !@ should work, but occasionally I’ve had to use the full https link. Give it a try, hth.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I've started [email protected] & [email protected] for the people who are interested in, well, Hypixel & Bedwars

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I miss the early internet days of sharing stories about High Strangeness and cryptid topics into the wee hours of the morning. If you wanna share your stories or theories you might start here:

I followed all their communities on my server as well since I know a ton of Pathfinder fans who listen to my podcast :D

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I established [email protected] where people can post photos of signs they find interesting

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm a moderator so I'm biased but

I created a few shitposting communities that I really miss from reddit.

[email protected] - a place dedicated to making fun of rust programming language (actually mainly its competitors)

[email protected] - funny flags

[email protected] - Europe and the EU in a humorous fashion

[email protected] - Elder Scrolls shitposting

[email protected] - femboy memes

[email protected] - funny graphs

[email protected] - stupid anime memes

There isn't anything going on there at the moment, but I hope in time a solid community can be created in some of these!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I was just thinking I miss truestl, vcj, and okbb. now I just need thomastheplankengine.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I've made [email protected] as I've not seen a general hub for health related stuff.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I created a hydrohomies community [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm a bit biased since I made this but here's a Shin Megami Tensei/Persona/general Atlus game community: [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

[[email protected]](/c/[email protected]) ...

Sooooo confusing, they need to fix this. [email protected] should be the way...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Vtubers are fun, so I hope to see more action in [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I just made [email protected] for people who collect glowing glass of all types!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

One of our admin created a [email protected] Community. He puts in a lot of effort.

Video, board, games of chance, whatever you’re into - feel free to discuss it here!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I used these quite a bit over on reddit, and they were reasonably popular. I'm hoping one or more reddit mods come over and want to take over moderating eventually.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Happy to map along side you
