Is there a place I can go on lemmy where I can say "is there a community/magazine that has people's weird ideas they thought of in the shower" and if anyone knows of a place they'll point you to it?

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: !lemmy411@lemmy.ca, !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca

https://lemmyverse.net/ seems better than a community for this tee bee aych

That's useful too, but sometimes it's hard to find them by keyword. Plus if the answer to a post is 'there is no community' and the post gets popular, it can be a nice way to kickstart the creation of a new community.

https://www.search-lemmy.com/ ?

I'm open to feedback though if the search results seem out of order etc....

Oh hey, this is great! Nice work, it found some pretty obscure communities in a few tests. I wish there was a megathread somewhere for Lemmy/fediverse tools like this.

[-] marsara9@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Same. Honestly I need to create a community just for this tool IMO. But I don't have the time to moderate it.

If you're coming over from reddit, try https://sub.rehab/

It lists most of the popular subs and their fediverse equivalents. E.g. the community you're looking for sounds like Reddit's r/showerthoughts, which has

https://kbin.social/m/showerthoughts

https://lemmy.world/c/showerthoughts

https://squabbles.io/s/showerthoughts

communities in the fediverse.

Even if you haven't used reddit, a lot of the sub names are pretty self-explanatory apart from some of the cryptic/memey named ones.

Thank you for the tip! I see you linked to squabbles. Does squabbles require a separate register/login? I can't seem to figure out how to subscribe to it using my lemmy account.

[-] Seraphin@pawb.social 1 points 1 year ago

As far as I can tell I think it does require a separate login. I'm still relatively new to the fediverse and had a friend recommend squabbles, but I've already made an account here so have been trying to figure this out too tbh. Hopefully someone can correct me if it is possible.

You may want to put an exclamation point (!) in front of that community name, to make it clickable. Thanks for pointing it out.

[-] SmarfDurden@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I tried doing that but it doesn’t seem to make it clickable lol so I took it off thinking I did it wrong

No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
