Almost any community named "cat" or "dog". People should post more pictures of their happy non-human family.

Please. I need a way to break up the solid pages of awful global news in my feed, and I haven't got any of my own to hug.

edited to add: here's a list of cat communities , if there are other lists for other animals let me know.

Some other animal communities I subscribe to (not exhaustive):

So sweet. Please spread the joy to your choice of cat community too!

[-] fiat_lux@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

I appreciate you. All three of you. And I really like the sunflower scratching post too!

[-] ndguardian@lemmy.studio 5 points 1 year ago

My fiancé got it, as she loves sunflowers. And we appreciate you too!

[-] fiat_lux@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Might I also suggest you post them on any of the communities on this catsubs list - I'm sure lots of otherpeople would enjoy it too.

[-] ndguardian@lemmy.studio 1 points 1 year ago

I'd be happy to do so, but I'm not quite sure how to post something to a cat community on Kbin. If you don't mind giving me a 20 second tutorial, I'd be appreciative! I'll post to one or two of the cat communities on Lemmy though since I'm here.

Lemmy and kbin are federated so posting on lemmy is just fine and will likely find the same people.

But also if you search for any community in the lemmy search like "!cats@kbin.social" (no quotes) it should let you post in that community like any other lemmy community. Assuming everything is working today on the fediverse.

Direct links in different formats:

I've been trying my best at getting !superbowl@lemmy.world going. It needs more activity, I can only photograph so many owls!

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Oh that's good. It reminds me of when Al Pacino was in that movie about a guy who's great with scarves.

I didn't need to block communities when I first started lemmy, but then predictably became necessary as time passed so went block crazy and now feed is easier again to try and find intersting communities when browsing all over news agregators.

[-] fiat_lux@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

That's the thing though, I do want to know about the topics and events, they're important and have huge consequences. But previously I was relying on nice things from communities I enjoy hearing from to space the more painful content out.

I have learnt that nice content requires a lot more activity if it stands a chance against the sheer volume of news created. But I also know there are lots of people here who have nice content to share that would benefit us all.

[-] NightOwl@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago

I used to, but I've switched entirely over the RSS after years of relying on places like reddit for news. It's still the same news sources, but I noticed now seeing all the articles released that day how much stuff is cherry picked to submit that has the best chance of gaining traction due to alarmist headlines. So seeing a lot more of the headlines without the community algorithm that determines what is shown.

[-] fiat_lux@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Fair point. Perhaps I need to finally do the RSS thing. I guess the old ways are the best after all...

[-] shiroininja@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Why do people block communities instead of using the subscribed feed? It feels like too much work. Did people really browse /r/all or the front page of reddit that much? That sounds like a nightmare. No wonder people complained about the mass of low effort posts. You're subjecting yourself to them.

[-] NightOwl@lemmy.one 8 points 1 year ago

People are trying to find new communities to subscribe to. New has been a good way to find them.

As for Reddit that's what amazing browser extensions like RES and third party browsers like RiF were for to filter out content by blocking subs, keywords, urls, and flairs, which made /r/all a pretty pleasant experience over default.

I don't see a way to comment on the cat sub list but I'd like to plug !meow_irl@sopuli.xyz for cat memes.
