Just curious to see what communities you would like to see more engagement in.
Here’s a couple I joined but it’s been pretty quiet:

What is this community about???
Mystery Science Theatre 3000, like the original reaction videos. A cast of silly people/robot puppets watch a movie and comment on it.
Wow I forgot this existed. I somehow found myself watching one of these as a kid and was SO confused. Haven’t seen one since. I hated it at the time because I just wanted to see the movie. Recommend one to try as an adult?
Some suggestions from a MiST who grew up watching them via friends recording them on VHS…
- Mitchell (Season 5, Episode 12)
- The Final Sacrifice (Season 9, Episode 10)
- Pod People (Season 3, Episode 3)
- Werewolf (Season 9, Episode 4)
- Time Chasers (Season 8, Episode 21)
- Overdrawn at The Memory Bank (Season 8, Episode 22)
- Hobgoblins (Season 9, Episode 7)
- Soultaker (Season 10, Episode 1)
- Catalina Caper (Season 2, Episode 4)
Some of these are available for free, some you need to get off Netflix or other places. There is a mst3k channel that plays episodes 24/7 on Pluto TV, and you can stream much of the original series (there was a revival via Kickstarter that’s on Netflix and now online) via Gizmoolex.com
The idea that somebody watched a MST3k and was just pissed that these guys were in front of and talking over the movie is hilarious to me.
They just riff over movies, look through what they’ve done and pick a movie you either like, dislike, or have heard is famously bad and you’ll either like their comedy style or not, I don’t personally like them
The first episode I saw was on The Comedy Channel/Comedy Central while staying at a hotel. I was way too young to understand the majority of the jokes but the made a couple specifically calling out places where I’m from (live in Wisconsin) that it blew my mind.
I usually try to populate the main ones, even popular ones such as !comicstrips@lemmy.world or !europe@feddit.de don’t have that much content.
I’m taking those two as examples because comicstrips usually makes it to Top of All when content is posted, and Europe is potentially appealing to a large audience (326 users a week)
I would love to see more comics on Lemmy. I’ve been using an RSS feed for them
If think in that case using a bot would make sense
Yea it might work pretty well, with an option for creators to request that the bot stop pulling their content. The feed reader already pulls the image, title and link, so it shouldn’t be hard for someone to set it up to automatically post
I created !onskates@lemmy.graz.social, a community for quad & inline skating. So far there was only a single post from someone other than me. 🥲
I’d also like to go much more niche with a community specifically for wizard skating. But considering the limited popularity of skating communities, there is no need to hurry creating that one.
@smeikx Same with @rollerblading. The sub is pretty big on reddit, but no one is looking for it here, apparently.
I’ll contribute! I ride urban skates myself and have been on ice and inline skates since childhood.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/gWsZYBCc56Q
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Can’t go the community. “Page not found” for me
Edit: Sorry. It was a Summit error. Works fine on Sync
Never heard of wizard skating, watching the video now! Pretty interesting.
I went the BMX route, but my flatmate has always wanted to get back into rolling the blades.
My favorite cat sub, !scrungycats@lemmy.world.
I like this idea. We should make a topic like this every month or so, maybe in the fediverse community, too. Discoverability is so hard on the fediverse.
Agreed, an occasional ‘niche community spotlight’ post to different meta communities would be great. I’ve found heaps here I had no idea existed!
I even posted pictures my entire collection some weeks ago to get things kickstarted but is no moving.
Dude! Definitely a community I’m interested in!
Sabes caules novelas graficos que tienen traducciones buenos en español?
Las hay a montones. Las de Alejandro Jorodowsky están todas en español por ejemplo.
Gracias!
Honestly? I’m just wondering why there is noone on league of legends related Communities like !league@lemmy.ml considering how active r/leagueoflegends was/is
Sadly most gaming communities transferred to Discord. Even lol subreddit is losing users.
When did Discord become a social network? I’ve only ever used it to talk with friends while playing.
As people got the hang of using Discord to make large, complex, moderated and bot assisted servers people communicate more heavily on there.
Discord moves too fast for me to want to use it that way, all conversations disappear rapidly on busy servers, but other people certainly do
I think the communities that moved there weren’t posting the same types of content. When someone wants to ask a question you just get an answer, no back and forth or debates needed. That doesn’t work when you’re posting a news articles looking for lively debate.
Here are some
-
!theNightFeeling@lemmy.world - this community was quiet on Reddit as well, which was nice in it’s own way. It could use some more content though
-
the various animal communities, like !awwducational@lemmy.world
Just subbed to awwducational, love that it’s moderated by Nosferatu lol
TheNightFeeling was my primary source of wallpapers on the other website. Thanks for mentioning this one.
I did the exact same, and it works great with dark mode style theming
Subbed to the night feeling!!
Good taste, I’m already subbed to thenightfeeling!
Amazing! I’ll post some stuff eventually 😄
-
Yay! So glad to see this again!!!
This was a fucked up place to learn about.
… I joined!
Most of the ones I created;
All of these are largely just me posting! The last two do get occasional posts from others.
!miamihurricanes@fanaticus.social
As the name suggests, it’s for fans of Miami Hurricane sport teams. I’m more or less the only poster right now.
!battlestations@lemmy.ml has been pretty quiet… I miss looking at cool setups and vicariously imagining myself using them.
On a similar note, !buildapcsales@lemmy.ml to help turn your vicarious dreams into a reality.
Subscribed. This kind of community was an invaluable resource for me on my last build. I’ll post any sales I come across.
Awesome!
Joined and posted!
I created @insect_photography during the migration and it started off nicely. Activity has gone down though so be welcome to just check in if you’re interested or have something to share!
I created !15minutecity@slrpnk.net and it’s got some activity but it could definitely use more!
I’m already subbed but I’ll try contribute!
!whatisthiscar@lemmy.world - Post pictures of spotted cars that you cannot identify.
!oldcars@kbin.social - for classic car enthusiasts
!swimming@lemmy.world - self-explanatory
