When I joined Lemmy during the Reddit exodus it felt like a new breeze and very positive. It feels like this has changed, posts and comments are more negative. Lots of complaints, even positive news posts receive a lot of negative comments. I am always trying to see the positive in things. Just doesn’t feel fun anymore. Perhaps it’s just me though.
Also still mainly see technical posts, lots of Windows/MS bashing. I’d like to see more communities about non technical things. Perhaps I haven’t discovered them.
I’m not much of a fitness person, but in the past have done ice cream making. Is there a community for that somewhere? Though, it doesn’t seem like something that two people could contribute a lot to. I’m not sure how much there is to say about ice cream making, if you don’t have people coming looking for help. In fact, the [email protected] might be a suitable place to start discussions about ice cream making?
For the Beehaw communities, you can see their community list here. If you have the Instance Assistant browser addon, it makes it easy to open the community on lemmy.nz for subscribing.
Thanks for considering starting a community. Yes, think it’s better to start discussion in existing communities.
Oh I mainly browse on mobile, on the liftoff app.
