Can I post a request?

When I was on TOS (the other site) there was a bunch of active parenting forums. Even down to the specific month and year your child was born. I've missed that community with other parents here. Does it exist? I will settle for more general if there's activity.

Also any active finance / FIRE communities here?

[-] C126@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago

Someone should start a thread about what communities we miss most (if there isn't one already)

[-] Amaterasu@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Agree. I miss not having an eGPU and a piercing community on Lemmy

[-] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

!parenting@lemmy.world is pretty active. Doesn’t get a huge amount of discussion threads but when someone starts one they always have plenty of responses.

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 4 points 1 month ago

Here, you'd barely get enough people to fill a parenting forum.

[-] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I think you would get enough though. Lemmy seems to skew older and and based on what I've seen a fair number of people have kids.

I can think of someone who would probably be game to mod it, but he's a bit notorious for continuing somewhat silly arguments on occasion...

Imagine being afraid of using a name. I thought Rowling made that shit up.

Try screaming "UNIX SURREALISM" at your phone

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago

woah that actually worked

[-] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 month ago
[-] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 month ago

Thank you for catching that.

[-] residentmarchant@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Not a specific one, but join your local city/town/state community! There's lots of cool stuff to learn about your local area, you just have to find it.

[-] mke_geek@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

Mine is basically dead. One person periodically posts a news article but no one comments.

How do you find it though

[-] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 9 points 1 month ago

I'll always pitch the couple that I help push.

!satisfactory@lemmy.world for all of you pioneers out there

!taylorswift@poptalk.scrubbles.tech for the fedi swifties!

i think lemmy is already the niche community. small comms over here usually turn out to be empty.

ill let you guys exchange them in peace anyway, maybe some of them get a boost.

[-] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Ya, I think the key is not to focus on niche communities, but more generic communities. e.g., someone mentioned a dead Morrowind community, but it's probably better to invest in a more generic gaming or maybe even pcgaming community.

Lemmy just isn't that big and can't support many niche communities.

That being said, I definitely see some niche communities regularly popup in my feed, so there are some active ones!

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

lets contribute more to them! a federated model in this world of ours will be much better for us than facebook and twitter and google so id love to nurture some kickass comms in here! id love to see it genuinely replace reddit even with the bad that will come with it too.

do you like any of the small ones? which ones? i wanted to be actually necessary when posting to one so i havent yet but i want to find the right one i can spam with stuff i love.

[-] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Well, I started watching Star Trek TOS so I would get more of the memes on tenforward@lemmy.world 😅.

I do like to browse by all instead of subscribed, which is a good way to discover more communities. Of course, I do have to block a lot of communities to avoid stuff I'm not interested in... which is basically just stuff in languages I don't understand and furries (speaking of niche communities, plenty of those). But I even enjoy seeing local posts from places in another country.

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

yeah you use lemmy pretty much the same way i do although im not that into star trek just yet. but im a commie linux nerd so that must count for some lemmy street cred?

i do browse by all but holy furries, man. i'm looking for a buried comm i can come to sperg out on and ressurrect.

[-] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

If you do want to get into it, I suggest starting with Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks.

The Morrowind one is dead sadly :/

[-] secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

That community made me buy Morrowind cause I wanted involved. But the moding tools for openmw suck. Installing mods one by one is something I don't have the patience for. Maybe I'm just spoiled from prisim launcher for Minecraft

[-] bruhsoulz@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Fair enough. I myself mainly only mess around with larger mods anyways just to add content. I used to have a bunch of dlc sized mods on my last skyrim playthrough, shit was crazy 😂

[-] butter@midwest.social 3 points 1 month ago

What's the Morrowind one?

I just started playing

[-] bruhsoulz@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

Morrowinds goated as hell youre in for one of the best stories a game has ever told you brah mark my words. I finally just finished it (with the dlcs) a couple days ago and im making another setup for the game with a bunch of mods so i can either replay it rn, or replay it after i play oblivion for the second time :3

!chalkboardlectures@lemmy.ml

Time is money, and this format of teaching/learning is my favorite. Please post here, I'm all alone.

!tomswifty@midwest.social

for Tom Swifty jokes. You know the ones:

"Salmon is really just the best", Tom said superficially.

!beeandpuppycat@lemm.ee

Such a good show

I'd love to find a cooking community, specifically for healthy and/or vegan recipes and techniques.

edit: I actually mean plant based, not vegan.

[-] fixmycode@feddit.cl 3 points 1 month ago

!juegosdemesa@feddit.cl

for people who wants to talk board games en español
