What Lemmy communities would you like to share that we may not know about?
I'm noticing an influx of Reddit users today, maybe revolving around their weird bug they had today. I know this question pops up semi regularly, but for those just getting their foot in the door maybe we can help show them what else is out here on the Fediverse to help them get started.
I'll kick us off, to any newcomers, I help run the following communities, and we'd welcome you to any of them. (Shameless self promotion I know, but I hope more people join in sharing theirs as well)
For new users, I hope you find some communities that you enjoy! For current users, share your favorite communities that new folks may be interested in! (Please use both the !@_ notation and give a link, to help our new fediverse people out in learning how it works)
It's always nice to see some jokes stick around, I hope when I die this is still a joke. (No sarcasm either, I truly love it and how much it annoys some people)
Not a specific community, but check out everything on mander.xyz if you haven't yet. Lots of great science related communities on there. It's already a pretty active instance but would love to see the communities on there get even more love.
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: !tvtoohigh@lemmy.world
Huh. I am positive these people would say my TV is too high. But, I like it where it is.
If I'm standing in front of the screen, it is at eye-height. If I'm reclining back on the lounge, I am looking up at it without having to cram my neck downward.
So, I basically disagree with this whole community's premise.
Had to look up what "EMS" is, it's not referred to as this in my country and your "about" section didn't provide any more description - you might get more international users if you use a more general term like "emergency service workers" or "ambulance" or something like that
I'm a mod of !startpages (https://kbin.social/m/startpages), which is all about the startpage/new tab page that resides in your browser. Right now It only has a few posts, so it'd be great to have some more users.
I'm legally obliged to shill the various crafting communities, my two most used are !knitting@lemmy.world and !lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works but you can find lots more in the sticky thread in either of those.
Then there's also !imadethis@lemm.ee which has been a bit quiet lately so if you've made something, go show it off!

!moviesandtv@lemm.ee is a pretty great community if you're into movies and tv. It's where a lot of the regulars from moviesandtv@lemmy.film went after the lemmy.film instance was shut down.
To mods here at !asklemmy, I know this is on the edge of rule 3 and 4, I'm seeing a lot of newbie questions though and was hoping this could head off a thousand new posts of users asking what and how to use lemmy. Actually, I'm going to add some of that to the post.

I want to suggest !main@lemmy.ca , or !chatter@lemmy.ca (general topic discussion that's been kind of inactive), !general@lemmy.world, and other just general chat communities across servers that aren't memes and shitposts, just to give people a low bar of entry to talk about how they feel, what's going on in their lives (to the extent they wish to share).
Someone looking for general advice, share something cool that isn't yet part of any community (but it could help start one), ask a question that they feel isn't a good fit for asklemmy, newbs and forum veterans can talk about their experiences. I think it can foster contributions from power-posters, occasional posters, commentors and lurkers alike and grow the Lemmyverse organically.
I started a fantasy basketball community here for anyone interested. I try to share helpful articles I find and plan to do more if it grows. !fantasy_basketball@lemmy.ml
I guess self promotion but if any anime fan wants to find out what anime that he found is from scenes or speech and so on, you can try and see if anyone ever responds on !whatanime@lemmy.world
