      omg I didn’t even know this was a thing… but knowing doves, it’s immediately self-explanatory

      their “nests” are just so bad

      I love them so much with their 3 scattered sticks on pavement

    For me it’s just the smaller gaming ones that aren’t as active or not here, I enjoyed browsing through specific WoW (this isn’t so active), ESO or Diablo subs.

    My home page is already in fairly nice shape with “general” interests

      Yep definitely feeling this. I’m mostly into flight and space sims… so a niche within a niche. None of these communities made the move over to lemmy with me.

    r/mls and r/soundersfc

    There is an mls community but it doesn’t get a lot of traffic.

    etymology and stoicism, but I lack the expertise necessary to moderate or kickstart either

    It’s not so much the communities as the number of posts, I open Lemmy and see posts I saw yesterday only half way down the front page.

      yeah, that’s something that is getting slightly better over time if you sub to more instances outside.

          Even beyond subscribing to other communities that are also on a Lemmy instance, you can throw a wider net and use some form of fediverse software to interact with different kinds of instances.

          I think Lemmy software may be a little more limited in this, as I haven’t had much luck subscribing to Mastodon users on my Lemmy accounts, but I can subscribe to Lemmy communities on Mastodon and Calckey. I haven’t really done much with it on Mastodon, but on Calckey I can see Lemmy posts from communities I’m subscribed to in my feed, and I can make a top-level reply to the post but I can’t read or reply to the comments (unless they’re replies to mine) without going to some version of Lemmy to view the rest of the post.

          Still, that makes it pretty convenient to scroll through my own Calckey as well as Lemmy, Mastodon, Kbin, Pixelfed, and seemingly basically whatever else I could want. Sure, sometimes I have to switch sites to engage with the content, but that’s as simple as clicking a link or at worst navigating to the post again on the site. With the pace of most instances, that’s not hard to do

          It’s also not oversaturated, so people will actually see and interact with what you’re posting, and yet if you cast a wide enough net you can get continuous content to read if you really want to.

          I guess the point is, the more you take it into your own hands the more it can do for you.

          You only need one home instance. So you’re on lemmy.world from what I can tell. If you go to their homepage and login, then click communities at the top, you can browse all the communities (subreddits). Just subscribe to whatever you want! Then later when you’re browsing you can sort by subscribed and it’ll be just those topics

          No need to register. You can just subscribe to their communities with your current account. That’s part of what makes federation so handy. I’m on Reddthat.com but you can see this comment even though you’re on lemmy.world.

          Not really, just subscribe to communities outside of your instance.

          Like !osvaldo12@lemmy.fancywhale.ca. just subscribing to this from another instance and getting updates on your account regardless where it’s from. Sorry if you already knew that.

              Use lemmyverse.net

              Click the home icon and set your home instance and then search for whatever you want. All links will open in your home instance and you can then just subscribe.

                I’m probably missing something easy, but where do you “just subscribe?”

                There are a few communities that show up in lemmyverse, but aren’t showing up when I search in my app (Jerboa)

                  Open the link from lemmyverse in a browser tab and click Subscribe. If on mobile you might have to expand the sidebar first. Then go back to Jerboa.

      Subscribe to more communities. I have like 50 of them from many different instances and it’s always new content. Make sure to set filter to Last Day or Last 6 hours.

      Lemmy.world is the largest instance now I believe with tons of communities so start there.

    • Honestly, this was helped simply by subbing to a lot of different communities. Each day is a fresh feed. It’s not up to Reddit’s “every single refresh is a brand new front page” level, but it’s enough to be able to scroll for an hour or two each day.

    Ask Science Fiction, Who Would Win, The Maw Installation, and similar discussion boards for in-universe questions about fiction.

    For those who aren’t familiar, Ask Science Fiction (more accurate parsed as Ask Science: Fiction) is a board for asking and answering questions about fiction from an in-universe perspective. Questions and answers don’t necessarily have to be role-played, but they should assume the internal logic of the universe in reference. Answers from an out-of-universe perspective (“George Lucas didn’t decide that Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker were the same person until later”) are against the rules, though there’s some allowance for media that’s super-meta and can’t be answered otherwise.

    Who Would Win is a board for posing hypothetical scenarios, often but not exclusively about fictional characters or factions. Think “Who would win in a fight between Superman and Batman?”. Evidence in the form of references to specific canon media is encouraged.

    The Maw Installation (and similar places like the Daystrom Institute for Star Trek) is essentially Ask Science Fiction, but specifically for the Star Wars franchise. I find that boards like this can encourage interesting world-building that makes the original text feel richer, as well as more in-depth critique of the text as media.

    I’m sure some of these exist in some form in Lemmy, but I’m still looking for them!

    There are transplants here on Lemmy, but few subscribers, and few contents. Some likely would remain that way.
