Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I mostly don't use Fediverse services outside the Threadiverse (lemmy/mbin/piefed).
For the Threadiverse:
http://lemmyverse.net/communities is an important resource. They spider all the Threadiverse instances and build a searchable community list.
!communitypromo@lemmy.ca and !newcommunities@lemmy.world have people post to promote their communities.
Looking to see where other users who put up interesting content also hang out.
Sometimes, people will have interesting recommendations that they stick in posts.
Small note: the main community page does not show Piefed communities
https://piefed.social/communities has "Active people" (per week) column and allows to search for communities in a similar way to Lemmyverse
@twoafros@sh.itjust.works
Thanks for sharing the links!
No problem. And just to make it clear, if you haven't done so before, if you find a community you like on lemmyverse.net, you'll want to copy the text with the leading exclamation mark, which you can do by clicking on that text on lemmyverse.net
say, for example, !foodporn@lemmy.world
and then paste it into the community search on whatever client or Web UI you use. That'll make your home instance connect to the instance where the community lives and learn about it, if it hasn't already. Your home instance is sh.itjust.works, which is decently-sized, so it's not as much an issue for you
for many communities, some user on sh.itjust.works will have already done this and subscribed to the community
but for users on smaller instances, it's more important.
