Ask Lemmy

A whowouldwin community.

Battleboarding communities draw a lot of engagement and help retain new users among the younger demographics.

I just want the user base to grow enough to support small niche communities.

That was Reddit at its best and Lemmy just doesn’t have the user base to support it yet

In my opinion, two very specific subjects that highly resonate with me:
- Cryptology (as in the study of ciphers) and Steganography: a community intended for people to share puzzles, novel ciphers (Rcszqar pg s mpbra voqjdg), techniques and examples of existing/novel arts with hidden messages (e.g. the BACH motif behind some classical music), algorithms (preferably code golf), math formulas and theorems, etc.
- Occult, Esoteric and Left-hand path spiritualities, preferably focused on personal spirituality: a community intended for people who have their own individual paths/beliefs (or are willing to build one for themselves) so they can share concepts, rituales, books/grimoires and even items among them. By LHP and esoteric, some examples are (but not limited to) Lilithism and Luciferianism, Hermeticism, Thelema, Quimbanda, Gnosticism, Wicca, Neo-Hellenism, Goëtia, Theistic Satanism, among other belief systems and religions (the latter kind, "religions", preferably focused on building individual paths that can consider each one's contexts and lives and worldviews, with the Masters/Leaders being the deities and entities themselves who are being revered/worshiped).

Communities related to my local city. On Reddit it’s how I found out about some events and local issues.

A while ago I tried to look for something similar to Reddit's Tip of My Tongue/Joystick (looking for media/games you have vague memories of and don't know the title), but didn't seem to find one. And I suspect it's a bit niche thing.

Emulation and piracy.

c/Mexico... But seeing how most of the "news" from my country in the fediverse are government propaganda (and people get mad when it gets pointed out), I could stay on r/Mexico and it would be the same.
Also a general lack of latinamerican content.

Edit: and I mean fully in spanish.

There’s a subreddit for my town but I don’t think there’s enough of us on Lemmy to keep it active.

!fedigrow@lemmy.zip for people wanting to make communities more active

I actually only found Lemmy because I was looking for another SA community online after my last one had toxic mods. Can't say for sure what it's like here but the SA comm here deserves more attention I feel like. Of course, I could probably post on there some more....

We need more memes about US elections

The kind of communities that hand out free sex, drugs, cash or scotch. I'm a simple man.
