I'll never pass up a chance to promote !superbowl@lemmy.world (Owls, not the NFL thing)

Hey, admin of programming.dev here

Heres a nice selection of communities from various of the topic instances including ours that might be nice for most people

• !science@mander.xyz - mander is the science and nature instance with this being one of their main communities
• !programming@programming.dev - main community for the programming.dev instance which is the instance for programming
• !gaming@lemmy.zip - main community for the lemmy.zip instance which has most of the game communities so far in lemmy
• !software_gore@programming.dev - community that just got started up in programming.dev where you can post any software malfunctions you come across
• !android@lemdro.id - main community in lemdro which is focused primarily around android

edit, heres some more:

• !chat@literature.cafe - literature instance
• !anime@ani.social - anime instance
• https://fanaticus.social - sports instance (doesnt really have a main community)
• https://lemmy.studio/ - music instance (doesnt really have a main community)

Not a specific community, but check out everything on mander.xyz if you haven't yet. Lots of great science related communities on there. It's already a pretty active instance but would love to see the communities on there get even more love.

https://lemmy.world/c/tvtoohigh

Has sooo much potential. I can feel the memes flowing through it.

A community for EMS professionals that I manage and desperately want to see more activity in:

!ems@lemm.ee (https://lemm.ee/c/ems)

A community for sharing spooky stories, doesn't matter if they're true or not:

!rag_and_bone@lemm.ee (https://lemm.ee/c/rag_and_bone)

gotta promote !gothindustrial@lemmy.world for industrial, goth, and adjacent music styles!?!!

I'm a mod of !startpages (https://kbin.social/m/startpages), which is all about the startpage/new tab page that resides in your browser. Right now It only has a few posts, so it'd be great to have some more users.

Copy-pasting my usual response to these threads:

I'm legally obliged to shill the various crafting communities, my two most used are !knitting@lemmy.world and !lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works but you can find lots more in the sticky thread in either of those.

Then there's also !imadethis@lemm.ee which has been a bit quiet lately so if you've made something, go show it off!

• !ukcasual@lemmy.world
• !simpleliving@lemmy.ml and !simpleliving@lemm.ee
• !discworld@lemmy.ml
• !map_enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz

• !artshare@lemmy.world
• !pixelart@lemmy.ml

• !potatoism@lemmy.world

!sideoftheroad@possumpat.io

!moviesandtv@lemm.ee is a pretty great community if you're into movies and tv. It's where a lot of the regulars from moviesandtv@lemmy.film went after the lemmy.film instance was shut down.

!downvotedtooblivion@lemm.ee for all the times karma attacks.

All the ones I administer

waydroid@feddit.de

barefeet@feddit.de

To mods here at !asklemmy, I know this is on the edge of rule 3 and 4, I'm seeing a lot of newbie questions though and was hoping this could head off a thousand new posts of users asking what and how to use lemmy. Actually, I'm going to add some of that to the post.

Thanks for helping out the newbees by making this post.

Also shamless plug https://sh.itjust.works/c/machinist

A community about machining, and other various trade and manufactoring shenniagans.

I want to suggest !main@lemmy.ca , or !chatter@lemmy.ca (general topic discussion that's been kind of inactive), !general@lemmy.world, and other just general chat communities across servers that aren't memes and shitposts, just to give people a low bar of entry to talk about how they feel, what's going on in their lives (to the extent they wish to share).

Someone looking for general advice, share something cool that isn't yet part of any community (but it could help start one), ask a question that they feel isn't a good fit for asklemmy, newbs and forum veterans can talk about their experiences. I think it can foster contributions from power-posters, occasional posters, commentors and lurkers alike and grow the Lemmyverse organically.

Shameless plug for a community that I moderate because we need more folks!

!hockey@lemmy.ca

We even have a bot that posts the scores and basic stats of each NHL game.

CFB@fanaticus.social

We need more people so we can properly talk shit

I started a fantasy basketball community here for anyone interested. I try to share helpful articles I find and plan to do more if it grows.
!fantasy_basketball@lemmy.ml

I'm going to shamelessly plug the community I just made for Ambigrams.

• Ambigrams
• !ambigrams@lemmy.ml

For books and reading related: !fiction@literature.cafe !books@lemmy.ml !classics@literature.cafe !literature@beehaw.org For discworld fans: !discworld@lemmy.ml
