Jambands/Grateful Dead type stuff.
Yes I know there are groups out there, but no one is extremely active. I'll give it time: Weir Everywhere

RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Drones
Codes (about ciphers)
Regarfing drones, both !drones@lemmy.world and !fpv@lemmy.ml seem to be somewhat active
Regarding codes/cyphers, I wonder whether something like that exists and simply has an unintuitive community name.. because that topic definitely fits fedi well
I can see posts from 2 months ago without scrolling down. You have a very different definition of "active" lol

It exists, but there is almost nobody writing. I also haven't seen any other writing communities. I'm not interested in writing, usually, but I always enjoy reading what others have wrote.
HFY is basically the only reason I get on Reddit nowadays.
Dad for a minute and internet parents! They were my favourite

Sometimes I struggle with writing prompts for AI and I don't understand why it is not doing what I want. I wish there was a active community for helping with that.
For example I wanted it to go through this post https://piefed.jeena.net/post/125521 and list all the movies mentioned and augment them with the release date, director and genre. But it already fails at just finding the movies mentioned. I thought this is a perfect thing to do for AI which I can do easily manually but it just takes time, but nope.

I miss national and regional meme communities such as 2visegrad4u. Cultural and historical context makes the memes flow much better.
Comic_Crits and ctpsd creatives. Somewhere to post personal comic art to share and receive feedback.
I never actually participated in discussions on there, but r/soccer is still my go-to source for keeping up to date with football news. That's probably the one I feel the most.
!football@lemm.ee seems to be the currently active football/soccer community on lemmy. Additionally there are club-specific communities hosted on fanaticus.social
I was on r/soccer a lot as well, and considering its size I don't know why the football communities are relatively small. Also, the .world one is effectively locked for some reason.
The main community was moved from .world to !football@lemm.ee in an effort to decentralise and spread communities out instead of consolidating on .world. It's somewhat active as smaller communities go on Lemmy, but nothing like the news hub you could use r/soccer for.
I'm very new so I haven't explored much yet, but I wish there were more subcomminities of the communities, like for example on Reddit there's subreddits for metal, but also subreddits for specific artists within that.
Or how there's all the gaming communities but not many sub communities for specific games outside of maybe some of the larger games/game series.
I guess just more niche or deeper within a specific topic communities I'd say. But there may just not be enough people to go super specific with communities yet. Or I haven't found them yet.

I would've thought GURPS would be more represented in the Lemmy demographics.
