I suspect most people aren’t subbing/following communities on Lemmy. So post the community or topic you want to see pop off. And reader(that’s you) if you are interested in that community click the link and follow it.
👏Let’s 👏 start 👏 coordinating 👏 people.
I think we need to get away from the short format brain rot media that is so popular today, like TikTok and Twitter/X. And light novels are familiar and approachable. Often, people have already seen the anime or seen the manga.
For that matter, even !manga@ani.social could use more activity, and manga is even more approachable than light novels.
I recently started reading a lot of the LNs that are on “catch up” at a website called j-novel club, and it’s gotten me to enjoy reading novels more.
Also, the Ascendance of a Bookworm light novel is one of my favorite things I’ve ever read. It’s a pretty long one at 33 volumes, though.
I went there hoping to discuss korean web novels and they don’t allow it.
No idea why
!streetwear@lemmy.world 🧢👕👖👟🕺
not one single person wearing a street
🤣 be the change you want to see 😋
You’ve done a great job of propping it up. Sorry you haven’t gotten more help.
I don’t really belong there as a poster but have always enjoyed it as a reader.
Yeah, it’s frustrating to be in that position. Some communities I can post to, but some I only have comments to contribute.

Oh subbed thanks!
🙌

Liberal gun owners. (Don’t know how to link properly.)

Such a great reddit community, or used to be. No toxic right-wing shit, just people showing off their builds and buys, asking questions, getting solid advice with no bullshit, talking laws and legal repercussions, linking timely news, loads of trans people posting. No judging! A new person could come in with the same damned question we’d covered 500 times. No problem! We’d all jump in and help.
Fuck I miss that place. It’s dead here. Also, I think there are a few people that go in there solely to downvote. Don’t know how to check logs, not interested enough to try, but it looks like assholes are trying to spoil it.
And FFS, NOW is the time left-minded Americans should be getting armed! Blacks, LGBTs and women have been the largest gun buying demographic for several years. They need help and they need a judgement free space to get it.
If you have a dog and haven’t posted it in a babushka yet… Why not?
We need more activity over there. I hope to make a post or two soon, but it’s sad only seeing a couple new posts before seeing things from months ago. C’mon 3D artists!!! Where ya at?
I’ll sub to that. Been meaning to get more in to blender
Welcome in!😁👍
Also:
- !blender@lemmy.ml
- !blender@lemm.ee (RIP)
- !blender@sopuli.xyz
- !blender_3D_animation@lemmy.ml
- !blenderanimation@programming.dev
- !blender@kbin.social (RIP)
- !blender_channel@video.blender.org
Perhaps some consolidation might be warranted here?
Wow, quite a few pages there, but they all have the same problem 😞 not enough activity. C’mon Internet!
Would you consider making a consolidation post in !fedigrow@lemmy.zip?
We have a pinned guide with step-by-step instructions.
Yes i would, actually. Give me some time to read through that, and have something typed up :)👍
Awesome! Let me know if you have any questions, or if there is any way I might able to help out.
I’d like more discussion in stock market or economy communities.
Fuck Russia and their American agents.
Lemmy already superseded my expectations with how active it is. That being said, I would love the following to see more action (although I’m mostly lurking there myself):
!nba@lemmy.world - Loved the discussions on Reddit. As a European, it’s not easy to follow the games, so that was a great way to stay up to date.
!criticalrole@lemmy.world - Mostly carried by /u/Ultragramps@lemmy.blahaj.zone, whose updates are *chef’s kiss*
!quackers@lemmy.world - No explanation needed.
I can’t interact with the crit role community. Is it locked? Am I banned?
When I first stumbled into Lemmy I kinda gravitated to the medical communities, but from day one they’ve all been pretty dead. Just added a couple more subs now prompted by this thread to see if there was an active one. Here’s what I’ve got in my collection:
!medical_professionals@midwest.social
…sorted all of them by Top: Month, and there are a grand total of maybe 20 posts spread over only three of the communities. One of those three only showed a single post; and a pretty even split on the remaining two. The rest of them were empty. It’s spread way too thin: I’ve only run into a few other medical peeps here on Lemmy - we don’t have 12 communities worth of material.
I kinda wish we’d merge them… which I know goes against the grain of how the fediverse is supposed to operate.
!medicine@mander.xyz and !health@lemmy.world were the two most active ones. Mander.xyz seems like a better home for medical talk, but the rules in the sidebar are far too strict for a community this size. !health@lemmy.world seems the best at the moment.
…and I’m 100% part of the problem I’m whining about. Outside of a couple introduction posts and questions for the community, I haven’t posted anything there either. I should.
This is great! I think the ones that get more subs will generally rise to the top and people will start congregating there.
I’m seeing a bunch of upvotes on peoples comments here. I’m hoping that those people are also subbing to the communities they see in here.
I’m gonna try to remember to post this kind of question maybe once a month and over time we’ll get communities popping off.

Not necessarily:
One of the advantages of a decentralized platform like Lemmy is the ability to create parallel communities on the same topic. “You don’t like how a community is being moderated? Go to another instance and start your own community!” (with or without blackjack and hookers)
However, this is a double-edged sword. The creation of multiple communities on the same (or similar) topics can also fragment the userbase, leading to very sparsely populated communities.
I think it only makes sense to have multiple communities on the same topic if each version serves a specific niche or has a unique moderation style. I think most of the examples you’ve given would be suitable for consolidation into two or three communities.
More info on consolidating communities in the pinned thread on !fedigrow@lemmy.zip.
What are your thoughts?
mine, but that is fine because its a niche topic.
One of the most well-intentioned and reasonable spaces to discuss this type of stuff I’ve found, but posts are not frequent.
Subbed. I used to love Men’s Lib on Reddit.
I want to read more !shittymoviedetails@lemmy.world please!
!kitchenconfidential@lemm.ee I miss venting with a bunch of other cooks on reddit, but unfortunately this community is pretty inactive.
Are you aware that lemm.ee shut down? Any communities will need to be recreated on another instance.
If Lenny were less complicated to understand I would!
