10 months agoWhat I do to get around that is: subscribe to communities that are not memes, news, or tech, then read new posts by “subscribed” and “scaled”. When I run out of those, read “all” to find new communities to subscribe to.

And if I had to pick only one of the “major” meme communities, it would be:
- !traditional_art@lemmy.world
- !artporn@lemm.ee - mostly paintings
- !accidentalrenaissance@lemmy.blahaj.zone - photos that look like classical paintings in some way
- !pictureworld@lemmy.world - artsy photos
- !unix_surrealism@lemmy.sdf.org - one of the best things to come out of the fediverse
MEDIA:
IMAGINARY:
!truecomics@midwest.social - Examples of and discussions on the classic “The Outbursts of Everett True” 2-panel comics from the early 1900s, in which a portly man objects violently to everyday wrongdoing. This has been taking off recently.
!fullmoviesonyoutube@lemm.ee - free movies on legit sites. Going strong.
The thing is, sometimes his wife or kids go off on him and he takes it. Not sure how to feel about that.
More movie communities:
I think the community in question is: !amarequests@lemmy.world
Various active communities about interesting things:
- !andfinally@feddit.uk - odd stories
- !neat@lemmy.world - neat things
- !justpost@lemmy.world - random posts
- !vintageads@sh.itjust.works - old ads
- !interestingshare@lemmy.zip - interesting news stories
- !nyt_gift_articles@sopuli.xyz - full articles shared from the New York Times (tends to focus on “in depth” stories)

- !inhabitedbeauty@lemmy.world - places around the world
- !badrealestate@feddit.uk - weird houses, real photos
- !eurographicnovels@lemm.ee - about graphic novels from Europe
Places I’ve been posting:
btw it looks like @PugJesus@lemmy.world completed their move off kbin.social and is posting regularly. If you’re not subscribed to their many history-related subs, check them out:
@PugJesus@lemmy.world it’s time to “cross the Rubicon” to full federation!
These are all excellent communities, and invariably some of my favorite posts of the day. I’m seeing them on lemmy.world, btw.
!cyberpunk@lemmy.zip - mostly games, movies, shows, and music in the cyberpunk sci-fi genre
!wavemusic@lemmy.world - music: synthwave, vaporwave, etc. A fairly new community, a couple different people have been posting
!gothindustrial@lemmy.world - music community. I was hoping someone else would make the 300th post, if not I’ll post something later today.
!fullmoviesonyoutube@lemm.ee - a larger community, a couple of us are posting regularly, but could use more discussion
!fedigrow@lemm.ee - a community about how to help grow the fediverse. @Blaze@reddthat.com has been posting a weekly thread on “how is your [niche] community doing?” which is kind of like a support group for people keeping communities alive
edit: how could I forget, !shortstories@literature.cafe - links to short stories online in all genres
Finally, wave comes to lemmy.
!synthwave@lemmy.world has been here a while and there was waveform.social before that, but it’s good to see a community with an active mod. I think I’m a switch to this one.
if you took the world and seperated its humans by intelligence, the “idiot” group is going to be much bigger than the “PhD” group. Like…by a lot.
No… you’d have a bell curve. But even that assumes you have a single good measure of intelligence.
I kind of agree with the rest of your post, but I would have worded it a bit differently, emphasizing that people who found it difficult to start using Lemmy might still be worth having around. Also, I don’t think “as large as Reddit” or “small niche unknown” are our only options.
0·1 year agosome people still recommend using a VPN and IP address from a country where YouTube ads are prohibited, such as Myanmar, Albania, or Uzbekistan.
Wait, you can just prohibit YouTube ads at a national level? That’s somehow awesome and terrifying at the same time.
I just say: “It’s like email. There are different email servers, but they can all talk to one another. If there are things you really like, you can subscribe to them, and if there are things you don’t like, you can block them.”
Or replace “email” with “instant messages”.
I think I see what you’re saying. Lemmy is indeed a place where it’s very easy to get involved, and people get involved in different ways. A lot of us just pick a community and start posting regularly. Some of us adopt dormant communities and bring them back to life. Others contribute by becoming mods or admins or setting up their own instances or debugging/coding. Even those people who were giving you reasons why the “transfer your account easily” project was difficult, they were helping you by telling you the challenges involved. Whenever a well-run project is started, you think about the hurdles, risks, and mitigations, then integrate those into your project plan.
I encourage you to keep getting involved. The trick is to find the right level of involvement for you, then sticking with it and seeing it through.
