This was asked today in another community, but still happy to share my favorites in hopes that others will enjoy:
!natural_process_art@mander.xyz

All versions of TodayILearned (@kbin.social,@lemmy.world,@lemmy.ca,@lemmy.ml)
Any my personal (certainly non-biased) favorite
Formatted for easy navigation once your instance has upgraded to the current version. Clicking the link should take you to a version of the community linked from your instance. Feel free to comment with any broken links you know the answer to.

Hey so I see there’s a few different instances for TodayILearned, are they all considered unique? Like would it be /TodayILearned1 /TodayILearned2 and so on if they were on Reddit, separate communities? Or are community names unique throughout the fediverse?
They are considered unique communities although they could cover the same topic. It’s a lot like an email address that way, you can have til@fake.server and til@different.fake. They are unique addresses, but they can have the same name before the at sign.
Something i would like to see in future development is some sort of multi-reddit type feature to combine multiple similar communities into one grouping
General Discussion is the display name, that wont work, actual name is !general@lemmy.world
The rest work, but lemmy community names never have capital letters. (Kbin mags can tho)
I am aware, however the only change i made to @Awa@lemmy.world’s comment was adding the exclamation point so it’s linkable. I don’t know all the communities they were referring to so I couldn’t apply a fix
I can fix this also… brb!
Another tip, you can use lists to make stuff more compact without so much space between lines.
- like
- this
- or my other comment in this thread
- just add
-and a space in front of each line - you can of course use preview to make sure it works
Hey, if you add a ! at the start of those, they will turn into working links for people on version 18.
Not for us Liftoff savages sadly
Oh, you got a few I haven’t seen yet. Nice! Thank you.
I particularly enjoy !fountainpens@wayfarershaven.eu
Communities that I wish were more active:
I like !foss@beehaw.org people there have good recommandations.
I like !dota2@lemmy.world. It has a lot of posts with really high quality and there’s lots of discussions happening in the comments.
I wish 😭 I’m so alone
Oof sorry to hear that. I used to be so into dota, but I had to put that part of my life behind me
It wouldn’t be a replacement for that other site without:
- !ukcasual@lemmy.world
- !futurama@lemmy.world
- !lotrmemes@midwest.social
- !gamedev@lemmy.blahaj.zone
- !lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works
(those last two have posts with megalists of related communities too, for gamedev and crafts respectively, check them out if you’re interested in either topic)
I like:
- !me_irl@lemmy.ml
- !mina_irl@sopuli.xyz - same but finnish
- !atheism@lemmy.ml
- !grimdank@lemmy.world
- !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.ml
- !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
- !fuck_cars@lemmy.ml
Ones I wish more people posted in:
https://lemmy.world/c/videoessays
It’s not super active yet, but it’s growing. Mainly I just like having a place to drop interesting video essays.
Thanks. Yeah I went, joined, and posted a video. That place should really be filled with more of Technology Connections
For the lazy
Adding an exclamation point at the beginning like that makes it friendly for remote instances. Anyone can click and subscribe no matter if they’re on lemmy.world or not!
ty. Appreciated.
I’m completely biased, but !bicycles@lemmy.ca has been very decently active!
Be biased! I’ve already joined and have been getting back into cycling this year
These are some that I follow:
Another star trek fan I see. That community is really kicking off out of everything I’ve seen
Ehh, old hold off judgment for now. There are some serious concerns about over moderation. I was banned recently for trying to discuss community standards when after making a post from a clickbaity site. Took out someone else too who agreed with me on a different community
Really? The Star Trek community? I can’t say I’ve seen any of that
Yep! Mods have done a good job burying it. Check the modlog, you’ll be able to see any moderator action an reasoning for communities you are subscribed to (or maybe that your instance federated to, I’m not exactly sure).
I tried to do a level headed take over at !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world encompassing my experience. I’m sure it came across as whiny to some people. We’ve all got preconceptions of posts calling out mods for overreach so I understand
It’s the same mods that ran r/startrek. They’re notorious for being ban happy especially if you have anything negative to say about nutrek. They also got other alternative trek subreddits banned for people that didn’t want to deal with their moderation. Of all the things I hope to leave over in Reddit are toxic power mods and r/startrek mods are a prime example.
I wouldn’t put it past them to defederating any other instance that has a trek community negative towards startrek.website.
Nice, I do like retro gaming and trek!
deleted by creator
That’s an instance and not a community. But glad there’s a Spanish server out there
Just thought I’d add that I’ve found startrek@startrek.website to be great and quite active
It’s run by the r/startrek and r/daystrominstitute mods.
Not necessarily a good thing…
I love that we have !futurama@lemmy.world it’s one of my favorite shows and kinda makes the loss of reddit a bit easier on tv memeing.
Oh hey cool, it looks like jerboa fixed those kind of links now! I can subscribe to your recommendations!
Lemmy 0.18 was a good update, made communities easier to link, next is posts/comment native linking.
Ah yes some of this is definitely Lemmy rather than jerboa, jerboa just stopped a ctd bug stopping certain links so it became a double whammy of goodness.
Tbh, I felt Jerboa 0.35 was a step back, it no longer applies my profile default sorting on boot.
I hadn’t noticed that, but almost every change I’ve found in it is a huge improvement. Like being able to follow community links without a ctd.
!selfhosted@lemmy.world is a favorite
!bookclub@lemmy.world Join us if you’re a reader!
Frasier@lemmy.world
Try adding an exclamation mark at the beginning to make it linkable like you could /r/subreddit
Yours has the exclamation mark but actually isn’t clickable here on jerboa. Weird cause some links are clickable and others aren’t
It might be something Jerboa still needs to implement. From what I understand, this was part of the new update to Lemmy. Only servers that have updated have this feature, not all have because they had to temporarily remove captcha. I don’t know if it’s something to do with jerboa, or the instance you’re on but it will eventually become clickable as servers update.
