I am getting a regular feed of news, which is nice, but I need more variety and some suggestions of good lemmy communities, what are some that one must be subscribed to?

superb owl.

Definitely. Beyond that, we're gonna need some more input about what you're actually interested in.

Aww, it warms my heart to see you guys still recommending SuperbOwl so much! 🥰

For anyone that hasn't come by yet, besides sharing the best sky cat pics ever, I try to share a good bit of actual science, conservation, and animal welfare information. It's still lighthearted and for fun, but it is not the meme and pun community you may be expecting based off r/superbowl.

I think he just means generally the 'must have' of communities on lemmy not pertaining to news.

Most popular non news related communities.

Like on reddit, the basics were:

Ask reddit

What do you like besides getting some news? Books, programming, games, hiking, anarchy, a sixth thing? Search for communities.

[-] teft@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

A sixth thing? What more can a person need?

[-] Rozz 5 points 5 months ago

Can humans even keep track of more than 5 things at once

[-] pancakes@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

Personally, sixth thing is my favourite of the things.

I really could use some help with feddit.org/c/archery

When replying with suggestions it might be useful to reply with links in case the instance someone is on hasn't federated with that instance or community yet.

For example, !weedtime@lemmy.world

At least we don't have to explain the beans and jeans things any longer

!newcommunities@lemmy.world is a good place to start. You can scroll old posts and find a lot of great communities in there.

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.
