Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I noticed a lot of people seem to browse by All yet complain there's not much content, whereas I'm browsing by Subscribed and I still feel like there's an unreal amount of content, far more than I could consume even if I was browsing Lemmy Non-Stop all day.

I wonder if maybe sharing our subscribed communities with each other would help?

MEMES, SOCIAL MEDIA REPOSTS, AND HUMOR

Most of these are currently active. (except for the ones with a * which were less active last I checked). Sometimes these include politics but that's not the sole focus.

back in myyyyy day we'd hit the "hide read posts" and "scrolling marks posts as read" options in our apps, and then we'd ride All straight to the end of the Lemmy trail before putting the phone down and kissing our homies goodnight. took nary an hour it did! back then folks only pooped every 3 days yknow, not like today with these "shit posts" and "yuri rules" and "Stamets being gay"

Here's a medium-sized list

Probably replaced by !europe@lemmy.dbzer0.com I guess?

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 1 points 1 week ago

Sure, why not. I'm a little bit reluctant to play the game of declaring instances as "officially bad" and refusing to have anything to do with them; lemmy.world and midwest.social are both on that communities list in places even though I have grave concerns about parts of their core moderation teams. The world just isn't a perfect place, Lemmy included, and refusing to play with it until it gets into perfect shape may not be productive. I may be very noisy about complaining about certain instances but shunning them completely is different.

But that said, having it be officially and overtly illegal to say "Israel bad" on a politics and world news community is such a significant problem that I guess it would be better to honor the people who are trying to set up a replacement (similar to how I don't have !worldnews@lemmy.ml anywhere on there). I've updated it to switch to the dbzer0 community instead. Thanks for the heads-up.

They could be on a small instance.

An instance only sees remote content if that content is in a community that at least one user with that instance as their home instance has subscribed to.

Just a handful, from whe just a few are active in almost a daily basis.

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 1 points 1 week ago

Far too many to list, but biking, mountain biking, owls, aquariums, gardening, amateur radio, and positive news, among others like NY Times Gift articles (also a sub)

[–] Oberyn@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

[–] PillowTalk420@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Most of them. Because of how federation works. My normal account is on Pawb.Social (it's being weird the last few days hence why I'm on this account) and it being a smaller instance, there are several communities that only began federating to my primary instance after I posted to them and subscribed.

I generally just browse by All, sorted by New Comments.

[–] murmelade@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

About 10-11 with near zero activity so I browse /all but my list of blocked communities is quite huge.
