All the ones I’ve found are dead or quiet.
Found a few on lemmyverse, apologies if they aren’t what you’re looking for or you already knew about them. This isn’t really my scene.
There may be more if you can come up with other terms to search for.
Thanks so much! They’re kinda quiet… maybe there just aren’t enough alt people here yet
Anything that isn’t in the current mainstream tends to be in short supply on Lemmy. People haven’t gotten used to the idea that other people aren’t already running those communities for them. I think they’re still working up the bravery to be more active/figuring out the platform and if it’s worth the effort.
As others suggested you could start some communities up yourself. Maybe another option is digging up some of the dead communities and making a post asking others if they’re interested in taking them over? That’s worked for a couple communities in the past.
Thanks I already run !WomensStuff@lazysoci.al so I can’t take another one on.
That’s why I suggested asking others to adopt some of the slower communities that are already out there. 😉
There’s bound to be others who are interested, you’ve already gotten a few bites with this post.
You’ve inspired me I’m trying to assist with !gpral@hilariouschaos.com
Awesome mate. Glad you found something you feel comfortable helping with!
😃
Ahhhh I misread that… thanks mate!
Try talking in them anyway, maybe something general that you can crosspost to all of them at first. I had luck with talking into eternally silent Elite: Dangerous communities.
The beauty of a place without algorithmic feed is that things can surface way more easily.
Also, I wanted to use the Public API calculate a recent activity/users ratio to identify the silent communities that would be more worth interacting with.
I’m defo alt. :)
Your username is GENIUS
Haha, thank you. ^^
Definitely looking for the same.
I’ve seen some metal communities (mostly death- and black metal), but generally it’s mostly just people posting links to songs, so not much discussion going on.
Ah heck… I already manage a community I’d start one if I didn’t.
Interesting, I kind of expected Lemmy to be the metal demographic
Hey mate me and Alice are gonna start rejuvenating !gpral@hilariouschaos.com a whirl. Come join us!
Unfortunatly no, but I’ll keep an eye out for you!
Nice
Thanks Alice. Are you in charge of the second one?
Welcome. Yes,
Excellent I know you’ll be a great mod. Now lemmy is picking up, would you have time to make it a bit more active with me? Would be nice to have an alt community which wasn’t centred on music links.
Yea for sure. Will be nice having some activity on it
Awesome! We can give it a go and see what happens
If you are interested, I could make you a mod if you want. Would be nice to hand over some communities. I’ve got a lot. So just let me know, and be sure to leave a comment on a post in that community so I can mod you.
Thanks I don’t think I could manage 2 communities though! Well done for doing so many
All the ones I’ve found are dead or quiet.
Be the change you want to see.
