HFY - Humanity Fuck Yeah! is a community for writers and artists to showcase their talent in the HFY genre and for people who enjoy them.
While traditional science fiction often presents humans as vulnerable masses seeking refuge from menacing aliens or as feeble beings overshadowed by aliens with superior logic, strength or empathy. HFY disrupts these archetypes by challenging the norm.
In the world of HFY, humanity is bestowed with exceptional qualities, giving rise to a sense of optimism and empowerment within the reader. It seeks to uplift and inspire, demonstrating the potential of human greatness and the capacity for overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds.

I will get the ball rolling with sharing the first link to good HFY themed content. The below is a story narrated in youtube videos with really good graphics (Created using the game Stellaris)
Stellaris Invicta 1 - Greater Terran Union
In 2200, mankind has journeyed to the stars to seek vengeance on their old enemy and extend their power across the galaxy.
One of the greatest HFY stories ever written The Deathworlders by Philip R. Johnson, AKA HamboneHFY.
Even my lemmy username is based on that series. I'm yet to catchup on the last few chapters though.
Retreat, Hell by Ilithi Dragon, an ongoing military Isekai story following the story of a army platoon fighting genocidal fantasy elves. If you want very well written war porn - here you get it. Author doesn't updates his wiki too often so us UpdateBot.
Love Retreat, Hell and wait for every new installment

Yes! This was my favorite community back on reddit and it's also here. Now I can finally feel at home here on Lemmy :') hello
The Last Question - Isaac Asimov
Isaac Asimov: This is by far my favorite story of all those I have written. After all, I undertook to tell several trillion years of human history in the space of a short story and I leave it to you as to how well I succeeded. I also undertook another task, but I won't tell you what that was lest l spoil the story for you. It is a curious fact that innumerable readers have asked me if I wrote this story. They seem never to remember the title of the story or (for sure) the author, except for the vague thought it might be me. But, of course, they never forget the story itself especially the ending. The idea seems to drown out everything -- and I'm satisfied that it should.
Available as an audio-book on archive.org, narrated by Leonard Nimoy

A nice combination of Light Fantasy, Dark Scifi and good story writing. Author is very communicative and seems to have a solid release schedule.
Humans are the urban fae
Predator and Prey
The scourge of the galaxy, the Joltul'ra, devour everything in their path.
