Can I post a request?

When I was on TOS (the other site) there was a bunch of active parenting forums. Even down to the specific month and year your child was born. I've missed that community with other parents here. Does it exist? I will settle for more general if there's activity.

Also any active finance / FIRE communities here?

C126@sh.itjust.works · 8 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Someone should start a thread about what communities we miss most (if there isn't one already)

Amaterasu@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y

Agree. I miss not having an eGPU and a piercing community on Lemmy

TORFdot0@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y

!parenting@lemmy.world is pretty active. Doesn’t get a huge amount of discussion threads but when someone starts one they always have plenty of responses.

HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club · 4 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Here, you'd barely get enough people to fill a parenting forum.

AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 1y

I think you would get enough though. Lemmy seems to skew older and and based on what I've seen a fair number of people have kids.

I can think of someone who would probably be game to mod it, but he's a bit notorious for continuing somewhat silly arguments on occasion...

Imagine being afraid of using a name. I thought Rowling made that shit up.

Thank you!

Thank you for catching that.

Not a specific one, but join your local city/town/state community! There's lots of cool stuff to learn about your local area, you just have to find it.

mke_geek@lemm.ee · 7 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Mine is basically dead. One person periodically posts a news article but no one comments.

residentmarchant@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

Content is a shared adventure! My local community is a bit less than dead but it's not super active either, so I make it a point to leave comments and submit new relevant links

tetris11@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 1y

How do you find it though

jeena@piefed.jeena.net · 1 pts · 1y

So I'm posting in !korea@lemmy.funami.tech but most of the posts there are by me, I wish more people in Korea would post but it seems we are very few here on the Threadyverse.

Ya, I think the key is not to focus on niche communities, but more generic communities. e.g., someone mentioned a dead Morrowind community, but it's probably better to invest in a more generic gaming or maybe even pcgaming community.

Lemmy just isn't that big and can't support many niche communities.

That being said, I definitely see some niche communities regularly popup in my feed, so there are some active ones!

Well, I started watching Star Trek TOS so I would get more of the memes on tenforward@lemmy.world 😅.

I do like to browse by all instead of subscribed, which is a good way to discover more communities. Of course, I do have to block a lot of communities to avoid stuff I'm not interested in... which is basically just stuff in languages I don't understand and furries (speaking of niche communities, plenty of those). But I even enjoy seeing local posts from places in another country.

If you do want to get into it, I suggest starting with Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks.

The Morrowind one is dead sadly :/

secret300@lemmy.sdf.org · 4 pts · 1y (1 reply)

That community made me buy Morrowind cause I wanted involved. But the moding tools for openmw suck. Installing mods one by one is something I don't have the patience for. Maybe I'm just spoiled from prisim launcher for Minecraft

bruhsoulz@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 1y

Fair enough. I myself mainly only mess around with larger mods anyways just to add content. I used to have a bunch of dlc sized mods on my last skyrim playthrough, shit was crazy 😂

butter@midwest.social · 3 pts · 1y (2 replies)

What's the Morrowind one?

I just started playing

bruhsoulz@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 1y

Morrowinds goated as hell youre in for one of the best stories a game has ever told you brah mark my words. I finally just finished it (with the dlcs) a couple days ago and im making another setup for the game with a bunch of mods so i can either replay it rn, or replay it after i play oblivion for the second time :3
