What topics for communities would you like to see on Lemmy that are either not already available or just currently underactive? (beehaw.org)

Umm, arts.. And just any discussion that is neither about politics, memes, world news, technology, faction and flamewar-inducing ones. I JUST WANT TO CHILL AND HAVE SOME FUN!!! (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻ !!!!....

Like, c'mon.. The Internet was created for the LOLCATS! All the flamewars must be left in the TV and public places.

Um well the food communities seem to be active and drama-free. Plus the gardening communities. Neither of those topics is on your list. There are also a bunch of animal communities if you really want cat pics lol

I JUST WANT TO CHILL AND HAVE SOME FUN!!!

Why can't the Internet be fun!?!

I remember when it was like fucking Disneyland every fucking day!

BTW, I'm one of the admins at https://beehaw.org

I want the Internet to be fun again for fuck's sake!

I think the broader question may be how lemmy could appeal to more users that aren't just redditors who value privacy. (Though the same could be said for all FOSS tech)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm not sure it's a question of privacy, but rather a question of free/open source tech

Super neiche communities. I will never be able to fully switch until I can get them. Also shitposting to the degree that reddit has. I get that others may thoroughly hate it but I find it hilarious.

I really enjoyed r/cubers and its daily discussion thread. That’s a rather small sub without a lot of activity so it’s only natural that this should be more the case here. I’ve found two communities though: /c/[email protected] and /c/[email protected]

honestly most people on lemmy right now are tech and foss enthusiasts including me but if more people make the move from reddit more niche communities would be fantastic

I was in a handful of travel related subs. Mostly people complaining about airline issues but it passed the time.
