The landed gentry are only in charge until the king comes to town and chops off a few heads.

    Actually, I like the small community vibe of Lemmy. It’s the dead sub vibe I have a problem with. There are lots of really interesting communities, but you don’t see people posting anything yet.

      I like a lot of the tiny vibe but I miss girl Reddit. It was such a unique social media atmosphere and I haven’t managed to find it here. I hope more of the women from Reddit come here

        Took a long time for that to become a thing.

        It’ll come here though for sure. I think most people are trying to filter into whatever communities exist right now to get a feel of how federation works but once everyone has a decent idea I think you’ll see an explosion of communities.

        That’s the one area that’s missing for me as well, there is a general lesbian community that was just started yesterday, sapphics on lemmy.world, yesterday I found it and was like “neat! I need to post to help this grow, errrr… what do I post?”

        I miss GirlGamers, honestly. It was such a refreshing perspective compared to the constantly angry/circlejerky dudebro vibe of 90% of gaming communities

        Are you looking for more girly communities? Maybe consider starting one if you can’t find what you’re looking for.

        My girl subreddits are my big miss too. Even my silly pop culture ones. Actually especially those.

      Using this to plug my community !league@lemmy.ml for League of Legends stuff. Trying to make it a bit more popular but it seems like there’s only one other person posting so far

        Keep on posting. As long as there’s something, other people won’t think it’s completely dead. Eventually others will start posting too.

          It’s a bug, not intended, and being investigated on GitHub. It happens with all 0.18 instances, not just lemmy.ml.
