Also, https://startrek.website is a whole instance for Star Trek. Having multiple communities about the same thing is good for redundancy in case one goes down though.

Yours also allows me to open it on Mbin.

You would be 100% correct. It was for long-form high quality writeups of drama in a hobby, not looking at drama specifically on Reddit.

Really wish people used !hobbydrama@lemmy.world, from a quick look the three you put seem to be about specifically Fediverse drama

Mbin user here, link in the OP kicks me to lemm.ee while originallucifer’s link lets me find it on Mbin

https://fanaticus.social is a whole sports instance, and the instance as a whole definitely passes the “at least a post per week” requirement

!knitting@lemmy.world

Yep, definitely not new, but in the past I have seen people promote not-new communities that nonetheless are tiny and have not been posted here before so I figured it was okay. If you’re concerned this sub is losing its purpose you might want to message the mod about changing the rules or something. I do not mind seeing old communities here but my opinion is not the only one that matters, and !communitypromo@lemmy.ca does exist even if it gets far less traffic.

Ooh a PieFed community! Wonder how that’ll play with Mbin and Lemmy. Followed. Hope this along with the more mainstream textile hobby communities convince me to actually engage in my textile hobbies more often.

Wish Lemmy Scheduler worked with Mbin, because I found a lot of good posts for !digitalgarden@lemmy.world that would best be spaced out to avoid spamming and to keep the community active for a decent period of time.

Personal Knowledge Management and the like!

• !pkms@lemmy.blahaj.zone (/c/pkms@lemmy.blahaj.zone)
• !obsidianmd@lemmy.world (/c/obsidianmd@lemmy.world)
• !digitalgarden@lemmy.world (/c/digitalgarden@lemmy.world)

A decent explanation on what a digital garden is. Kind of at the intersection of PKMS and blogging. You can keep continually editing and it is not meant to be perfect, somewhat like an online journal you keep, something something learning in public.

That link punted me off my instance to sh.itjust.works, here’s another one !lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works

also !knitting@lemmy.world

Curiosity made me check if !femalefashionadvice@lemmy.world existed and it does but it is not very active—I’d imagine any not-man looking for fashion communities on the Fediverse might not bite on male fashion advice lol. Now I am also wondering if just plain “fashion advice” exists, or anything for nonbinary people. Back when I was on Reddit I wasn’t aware of such a subreddit, I was only aware of malefashionadvice and femalefashionadvice.

I’ll be honest, I am not even qualified to advise on fashion. I am sure I am not colorblind but things like “oh, that color washes you out” or “that color flatters you” have never been something I am able to see. I feel I’m missing a lot of knowledge like this, but I get by because none of my clothes cause me trouble in daily life—no pain, unexpected restricted movement, or general discomfort; people compliment my outfits sometimes; and I’m happy with what I’m wearing.

Also, good luck with the community and I hope you find posters, as someone who is also one of the primary posters in some communities I’m in and hopes others would interact sometime.

I look for things to post on some of the communities I follow. Unfortunately I cannot commit to doing this regularly for all communities I follow.

Also, your icon need not be made by you, so even if your art skills are as mediocre as mine it is fine! Grab some Creative Commons thing, slap it on your community, and attribute it. That is what !newcommunities@lemmy.world did.

I do like fashion.

I always thought “streetwear” implied a certain kind of style that is not my cup of tea, and I am very uncomfortable posting a picture myself online, even if I censor my face out.

This is exactly why I chose Mbin: to help diversify Threadiverse software.

I could swear there was a community link fixer bot, which is pretty useful for people reading comments, trying to click a link to a community, and getting an error. Bot has the correct link as a reply.

Community-specific bots can be quite helpful. NameThatSong on Reddit had a bot that would run your post through song recognizer bots if your post had audio, to try to help the poster identify the song. I found it useful. I should probably figure out how to make a similar bot for !NameThatSong@lemmy.wtf someday.

I feel bad because most of the people posting on !knitting@lemmy.world seem to be really good at it and I am pretty obviously nowhere near their level of skill. I also do not see many posts made by people around my skill level. But hey, at least it’s Fediverse engagement and I do try to help keep that up. Writing this comment also made me think that perhaps a lot of Fediverse hobby communities have skilled people and beginners are perhaps too scared to post because they don’t see anyone else just starting, so being the beginner asking for help might actually be valuable.

On one hand I kind of get the point, on another hand I feel a need to post something every week or so so people who click on the community can quickly see the community is not dead and someone is checking at least semi-regularly.
