Just curious to see what communities you would like to see more engagement in.
Here’s a couple I joined but it’s been pretty quiet:
Mystery Science Theatre 3000, like the original reaction videos. A cast of silly people/robot puppets watch a movie and comment on it.
Wow I forgot this existed. I somehow found myself watching one of these as a kid and was SO confused. Haven’t seen one since. I hated it at the time because I just wanted to see the movie. Recommend one to try as an adult?
The idea that somebody watched a MST3k and was just pissed that these guys were in front of and talking over the movie is hilarious to me.
They just riff over movies, look through what they’ve done and pick a movie you either like, dislike, or have heard is famously bad and you’ll either like their comedy style or not, I don’t personally like them
Some suggestions from a MiST who grew up watching them via friends recording them on VHS…
- Mitchell (Season 5, Episode 12)
- The Final Sacrifice (Season 9, Episode 10)
- Pod People (Season 3, Episode 3)
- Werewolf (Season 9, Episode 4)
- Time Chasers (Season 8, Episode 21)
- Overdrawn at The Memory Bank (Season 8, Episode 22)
- Hobgoblins (Season 9, Episode 7)
- Soultaker (Season 10, Episode 1)
- Catalina Caper (Season 2, Episode 4)
Some of these are available for free, some you need to get off Netflix or other places. There is a mst3k channel that plays episodes 24/7 on Pluto TV, and you can stream much of the original series (there was a revival via Kickstarter that’s on Netflix and now online) via Gizmoolex.com
There once was a website (a long time ago might still exist) that had links to YT copies people uploaded from their VHS. It had some in-browser IRC client and you could chat with others in sort of a watch party. Was where I saw a lot of seasons not played by Comedy Central / SciFi or Mystery Science Theater Hour.
This was a long time ago. Like back when browsers had plugins for Shockwave. I doubt it still exists.
!sbcgaming@lemmy.ml, used to explore it daily on that other site, but now it hardly receives new posts :(
That’s a thing?! Closest is me half running xonotic on a rasp pi(fonts didn’t load)
!aeropress@lemmy.world For all your puckshots.
I’m a big fan of !Cocktails@lemmy.world
Lol it’s like a buzzfeed article
Really trying to get !geocaching@lemmy.world off the ground
the instance is pretty much dead and that means the community is dead also.
I usually try to populate the main ones, even popular ones such as !comicstrips@lemmy.world or !europe@feddit.de don’t have that much content.
I’m taking those two as examples because comicstrips usually makes it to Top of All when content is posted, and Europe is potentially appealing to a large audience (326 users a week)
If think in that case using a bot would make sense
Welcome aboard. Don’t hesitate to ask/post there when you have questions.
What’s the community name supposed to mean?
It means exactly what it says. A space for secular Arabic speaking folks to hang out without the noise of religion that we Arabs are drowned in. Doesn’t mean religious people can’t participate, they can, but no religion discussions. Also doesn’t mean non-arabic speakers can’t hang out :)
!miamihurricanes@fanaticus.social
As the name suggests, it’s for fans of Miami Hurricane sport teams. I’m more or less the only poster right now.
Here are some
-
!theNightFeeling@lemmy.world - this community was quiet on Reddit as well, which was nice in it’s own way. It could use some more content though
-
the various animal communities, like !awwducational@lemmy.world
Just subbed to awwducational, love that it’s moderated by Nosferatu lol
Subbed to the night feeling!!
-
I created !onskates@lemmy.graz.social, a community for quad & inline skating. So far there was only a single post from someone other than me. 🥲
I’d also like to go much more niche with a community specifically for wizard skating. But considering the limited popularity of skating communities, there is no need to hurry creating that one.
@smeikx Same with @rollerblading. The sub is pretty big on reddit, but no one is looking for it here, apparently.
Can’t go the community. “Page not found” for me
Edit: Sorry. It was a Summit error. Works fine on Sync
I’ll contribute! I ride urban skates myself and have been on ice and inline skates since childhood.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/gWsZYBCc56Q
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
I even posted pictures my entire collection some weeks ago to get things kickstarted but is no moving.
Las hay a montones. Las de Alejandro Jorodowsky están todas en español por ejemplo.
!battlestations@lemmy.ml has been pretty quiet… I miss looking at cool setups and vicariously imagining myself using them.
On a similar note, !buildapcsales@lemmy.ml to help turn your vicarious dreams into a reality.
Subscribed. This kind of community was an invaluable resource for me on my last build. I’ll post any sales I come across.
Awesome!
Honestly? I’m just wondering why there is noone on league of legends related Communities like !league@lemmy.ml considering how active r/leagueoflegends was/is
When did Discord become a social network? I’ve only ever used it to talk with friends while playing.
As people got the hang of using Discord to make large, complex, moderated and bot assisted servers people communicate more heavily on there.
Discord moves too fast for me to want to use it that way, all conversations disappear rapidly on busy servers, but other people certainly do
Can you post a link to it?
Oh, I thought the link in my comment worked, sorry. https://sffa.community/
