Lemmy411 - Don't know where to find what you're looking for?

Not for deep interests, but you know like that old song about someone’s favorite things where the examples are all like copper kettles. Where you might write a few sentences about the little thing you like.

Any instances hosting it?

I find it fascinating how diffierent newspapers/magazines etc. try to convey political messages on their front cover, and show virtue signaling.

Is there anywhere to share them? Both “good” (as in I agree with the message) and “bad” ones, and both historical and current.

On reddit r/propagandaposters was great for the historical ones

Specifically PC games

Edit: Windows PC games

I want some fun communities to browse after being tired of seeing bad news most of the time when I scroll through lemmy

What the title says

Any ideas where I could ask for show recommendations for glide dancing?

Glide dancing example

c/comics says no NSFW in the community info.

Where is an appropriate place to post this? Can be on any instance.

More info: It is a one off art piece. Not an ongoing webcomic.

It doesn't seem like it would necessarily fit either !lemmy@lemmy.ml or !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml, and !moderators@lemmy.world I think may be more intended for Lemmy World community moderators.

I live in Greece, and I'm getting a Pixel 7a, but the delivery is... not going well. It's been stuck on "To be sent" since I ordered it. I was wondering where I could get help with this problem?

Back then on Reddit i really enjoyed r/nosleep, is there a good (creepy)pasta community on lemmy?

Has anyone found good communities for tabletop gaming, especially for game masters and narrators? Very much obliged!

Is there a /c/ for discussing Black Spire Outpost stuff?

By "venting" I mean "freely expressing bad feeling(s)".

Edit: thanks you for your answers!

I'm thinking of like "Is there a [blank]" or "Where would I find [blank]" sort of community where one might ask things like, "Is there a creator/YouTube channel/blog covering [blank]" or "Where would I find a durable [blank]?"

Sort of a general looking for [thing/source] community, rather than personal help/care kind of community (as I know some of those are around).

Atm I think the AskLemmy communities are sorta being used for these questions, so I'm guessing maybe there isn't an alternative?

Is there a community for dark / spooky / creepy art, that is not on lemmy.ml?

I like naming stuff, any community that does this or smth adjacent

I'd like to buy the services of someone who can create svg files from characters from a video (those are already flat and simple colored, so an easy job for anyone who knows how to trace stuff like that), though I have no idea where to look.

Looked around and can find plenty of tech news related communities and several tech communities for learning/discussing specific tech subjects (programming, programming languages, etc.), but can't seem to find a more open-ended, all levels tech questions community.

Closest I found to what I'm looking for was !tech_starter@lemmy.ml, but that's more aimed at beginners (which is a great idea tbh).

Have I overlooked where one of the tech communities is more open to questions alongside news? Will admit I was skimming after awhile of searching, so I may have!

So that someone can help identify it

Where would I ask a question about Mint Mobile? Just realized that texting myself doesn't actually go through as a text, which is weird, but don't know if there's a community I can use to ask about it.

Two subreddits I used to be very active in were for techsupport and networking/home networking. Anyone know if there's Lemmy communities for the same?

Also, related, is there a way to list communities available from a specific instance? Like if I wanted to see all communities local to Lemmy.world or something (that's not my local instance), can I do that? If so, how?

I'm still getting used to the fediverse way of doing things, I love it here, I'm just having trouble getting myself up to speed relative to all that I was subscribed to on Reddit.

TIA

Trying to fill the void left from r/MMA & r/BJJ ... Any one have any recommendations for relatively active communities?

I hate everything so much rn

I'm looking for communities or magazines for technical/professional writers. Please let me know if you're aware of any. :)

Hi,

Does anyone know of any active weightlifting, strongman or home gym communities?

I need some advice on my routine.

Thanks!

As per title - looking for a place to post about doggos and discuss all things doggo

I posted this on !youshouldknow@lemmy.world yesterday and I thought it was worth sharing here too to help people looking for specific types of communities on the Lemmyverse:

I built this for myself some years ago and used it a lot to find many interesting niche subreddits. Today I expanded it to also help myself and others find interesting niche communities across the Lemmyverse!

There is a longer explanation here from an older article, but basically:

• You give this a link that you found interesting
• It will (try to) find everywhere it has been shared on the Lemmyverse (and other websites)
• It will show you all comments from everywhere it's been shared on a single page
• You can do all the regular stuff like filter, sort, isolate etc.

One thing I find myself doing very often is hitting "toggle sources" on the top banner; this shows me everywhere the link has been shared and commented on, and if I see a community I'm not familiar with, I'll isolate the comments from that source and have a look through to see if it's a community I'd like to engage with.

There are also browser extensions and an iOS shortcut available.

You can check out an example from a post that just hit "Hot" on lemmy.world here!

I hope this helps people find interesting, engaging and fulfilling communities in this next chapter of the internet! 🚀

> Hello from your southern neighbor. I am a huge fan of Kids In the Hall, Corner Gas, Strange Brew, etc.. While these are older shows and movies I still have a great appreciation for Canadian humor in all entertainment mediums. I am surprised I haven't come across a community for discussing Canadian entertainment or something thereof. As I am not as versed as many on the subject I would be hesitant to create a community myself, but would enjoy having one to participate in and find new shows and whatnot. Just something to think about. Eh?

Hey all, I have been adding community rss feeds by adding the community name + .xml to my feed reader. Works great for my home instance lemmy.ca but trying to add the .xml for a community I am subscribed to from another instance craps out with the login page requirement.

For example, adding https://lemmy.ca/c/lemmy411.xml works fine in the rss reader but adding https://lemmy.world/c/technology.xml does not work because I am not on lemmy.world.

Also https://lemmy.ca/c/technology.xml@lemmy.world fails with feed not found "Join Lemmy"

Any ideas? Maybe I am missing something obvious.

Search turns up a ton of groups where the string "tea" appears anywhere in the name (e.g., "team")

Is there some community where people share funny or strange AI generated essays and texts?

With everything that's happened at Reddit, I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for active quantum computing communities? Thanks, I really appreciate it!

There are starting to become so many for Android and Apple, it would be nice to have a community on news and updates for them, comparing them, finding the right one, etc. This is in addition to the individual communities they should all have.
