[โ€“] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 11 points 5 months ago

Thanks for this. I need to create a mental health list to stop my habit of doomscrolling.

[โ€“] neatobuilds 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I would like to add !sideoftheroad@lemmy.today please

[โ€“] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Added in the Pictures category!

[โ€“] neatobuilds 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yay thank you!

[โ€“] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 months ago

Feel free to promote this community on yours, the more people know about it, the more effective it is to promote communities ๐Ÿ˜„

[โ€“] Blaze@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Recreating this from a local account to see if it works better regarding pinning

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Seeing you post from an account without a profile picture feels profoundly weird.

[โ€“] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 5 months ago

I really just use it to mod this community, it's not in my usual accounts rotation

[โ€“] squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'd suggest to add !dailygames@lemmy.zip to the Games category :)

[โ€“] Blaze@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Done!

[โ€“] squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 5 months ago

Thank you!

[โ€“] Tekktical@lemmy.wtf 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Hi, im completely new, but would like to make this my go to social media.

Some of the communities you posted ended up empty for me. Is there anything I can do to change that? Besides posting in it ofc. I meant if I did something wrong.

[โ€“] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 months ago

Hello,

Could you please check your language settings following that link? !languagesettings@lemmy.zip

If you can't see any posts there, have a look this way: https://lemmy.zip/c/languagesettings

[โ€“] Madbrad200@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Which ones? All of these should have some content.

If a community has never been accessed by a user from your instance before (lemmy.wtf), they may appear empty to start with.

[โ€“] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago

This is probably a language issue, especially as this comment is tagged as Nederlands

[โ€“] AnotherHelldiver@jlai.lu 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I made a new Game Community. ARC Raiders

https://jlai.lu/c/arc_raiders

[โ€“] MITM0@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

What's it about ?

[โ€“] AnotherHelldiver@jlai.lu 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

A video game. A science fiction game set in a post apocalyptic world.

[โ€“] MITM0@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Is it opensource ?

[โ€“] AnotherHelldiver@jlai.lu 1 points 5 months ago

It is not

[โ€“] MITM0@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Is there any Lemmy community where one can simply submit world-building lore ?? Just in case any nice person wants to make a video-game/indie-movie out of it ?

[โ€“] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

A few of these point to lemm.ee, do you want to update those?

[โ€“] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I just did, didn't it federate on your end?

For the one that I didn't, it's because they haven't decided yet (!esp@lemm.ee)

[โ€“] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Even when I view it on lemmy.ca (original instance) I still see 5 lemm.ee communities in the list.

[โ€“] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

AFAIK, those 4 haven't decided on a new place yet. Or is there one I'm missing?

[โ€“] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

OK, thanks, I was just not sure if this was intentional

[โ€“] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

Thank you!

[โ€“] Skavau@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Can you update !showsandmovies@lemm.ee to !television@lemm.ee

It's moved.

[โ€“] Blaze@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

Done

[โ€“] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hey mate cab you edit ours to !womensstuff@piefed.blahaj.zone

[โ€“] Blaze@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Of course, done!

[โ€“] glowing_hans@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

I like "you should know" communities. ysk

[โ€“] Smokeydope@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Would !metaldetecting@lemmy.world count for manual hobbies section?

[โ€“] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You can definitely make a post about it on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca

[โ€“] Smokeydope@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Already did, and found out about c/communitypromo thanks to your post plugging it.

[โ€“] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago
