Is there any community or communities you like the most?
Does anyone know of communities where the posts are many paragraphs of OC selftext with the comments discussing it? I don’t really care what the content is, but that’s for format I’m looking for. So far it’s just links, cat pics, and memes…
You may want to check out tildes.net – great community, totally text focused experience. I find that tildes complements lemmy well, and end up on both (in addition to a few other sites) to get a well rounded aggregation/discussion experience.
Oh nice, I’ll give it a look
Do you have an account on there by any chance? It seems to be invite only…
With the death of reddit, the only thing i mourned was the loss of r/196 but now I have 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone
I’ve been seeing this in the All section… what is it?
It is a meme community that is LGBT oriented and left-leaning
Ahhh this makes a lot of sense! Thank you 🙏
World’s finest queer shitposting

Almost any community named “cat” or “dog”. People should post more pictures of their happy non-human family.
Please. I need a way to break up the solid pages of awful global news in my feed, and I haven’t got any of my own to hug.
edited to add: here’s a list of cat communities , if there are other lists for other animals let me know.
Some other animal communities I subscribe to (not exhaustive):
- illegallysmolbirbs@mander.xyz
- Tardigrades@kbin.social
- opossums@lemmy.world
- Cute@kbin.social
- redpandas@lemmy.fmhy.ml
- trashpandas@lemmy.fmhy.ml
- fosterkittens@lemmy.world
- animals@kbin.social
- wildlifephotography@lemmy.world
- awww@kbin.social
- jellyfish@lemmy.world
- animalswithjobs@lemmy.world
- bats@lemmy.world
- beebutts@lemmy.world
I’m doing my part!
And I’m doing my part!
So sweet. Please spread the joy to your choice of cat community too!
I appreciate you. All three of you. And I really like the sunflower scratching post too!
My fiancé got it, as she loves sunflowers. And we appreciate you too!
Might I also suggest you post them on any of the communities on this catsubs list - I’m sure lots of otherpeople would enjoy it too.
I’d be happy to do so, but I’m not quite sure how to post something to a cat community on Kbin. If you don’t mind giving me a 20 second tutorial, I’d be appreciative! I’ll post to one or two of the cat communities on Lemmy though since I’m here.
Lemmy and kbin are federated so posting on lemmy is just fine and will likely find the same people.
But also if you search for any community in the lemmy search like “!cats@kbin.social” (no quotes) it should let you post in that community like any other lemmy community. Assuming everything is working today on the fediverse.
Direct links in different formats:
- Lemmy style: !cats
- Kbin style: @cats
- Direct url to kbin community via lemmy.world (or your lemmy instance): https://lemmy.world/c/cats@kbin.social

I’ve been trying my best at getting !superbowl@lemmy.world going. It needs more activity, I can only photograph so many owls!
Oh that’s good. It reminds me of when Al Pacino was in that movie about a guy who’s great with scarves.
I didn’t need to block communities when I first started lemmy, but then predictably became necessary as time passed so went block crazy and now feed is easier again to try and find intersting communities when browsing all over news agregators.
That’s the thing though, I do want to know about the topics and events, they’re important and have huge consequences. But previously I was relying on nice things from communities I enjoy hearing from to space the more painful content out.
I have learnt that nice content requires a lot more activity if it stands a chance against the sheer volume of news created. But I also know there are lots of people here who have nice content to share that would benefit us all.
I used to, but I’ve switched entirely over the RSS after years of relying on places like reddit for news. It’s still the same news sources, but I noticed now seeing all the articles released that day how much stuff is cherry picked to submit that has the best chance of gaining traction due to alarmist headlines. So seeing a lot more of the headlines without the community algorithm that determines what is shown.
Fair point. Perhaps I need to finally do the RSS thing. I guess the old ways are the best after all…
I don’t see a way to comment on the cat sub list but I’d like to plug !meow_irl@sopuli.xyz for cat memes.
Some of my favorite communities that are fun and active are:
I appreciate they aren’t all from the same instance!
Sciencefiction@lemmy.world
Piracy db0
All lemmynsfw because named people and hentai.
SUBSCRIBED
I happen to like !whatcouldgowrong@lemm.ee
Probably because I am a mod there. :-)
!imaginarystarships@lemmy.world helps to feed my starship addiction.
Subbed. Thanks :) I love communities like this
Sorry for the stupid question, why the community names are sometimes prefixed with a “!” ?
That’s how you link to Communities on Lemmy. Basically the same thing as the “r/” prefix on Reddit.
I might be a little biased but I agree
Holy hell
!internetisbeautiful@feddit.de for interesting and fun sites folks have come across.
I’m a fellow Malaysian, so this one’s country-specific: !cafe@monyet.cc. A chill and free-for-all chat, and nice to get a little hit of the Malaysian vibe while living away from home.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world
Is it just me or do these links never work on memmy?
These work on Voyager for me.
