Specific TV show episode threads. I loved reading what people thought, things I’d missed, etc.
Active posts that aren’t about linux or politics.
Have a look at the pinned post on [email protected]
r/simpleliving or, more exactly, a more active version of it since the community is there: [email protected]. And more people participating in the [email protected] community too but hopefully we’re slowly getting there.
I always feel like people living simply minimize their time online, so this kind of communities tend to be a bit quiet
Many do limit online time but there is also 8 billions of us on this planet. So, no matter how strictly we limit our involvement, I think the community itself, not each individual member, should be a little more active at any given time. But like with many communities on Lemmy we lack more participants ;)
r/notinteresting being everything but not interesting
Active communities that aren’t about Linux

r/electricians mostly
I’m an industrial electrician and I don’t know a single soul in my life outside of my career who I can shoot the shit about electrical systems. Sometimes I just want to nerd out about it, or discuss UL and NEC codes, or sometimes just removed about old crap from decades ago you have to work on haha

dot ml strikes again
And here, I thought maybe it was a joke about all the stuff people deleted during the API drama, or maybe a joke about all the stuff getting removed in recent times, but nope, just good old ml censorship.
Posting my depraved “performance art” and interacting with my fans in the comments
My woman trolling each other back and forth
A few regulars from Askredditafterdark
the OG communities, that were banned in '16-'17 because the gop started labeling alot of platforms as violent. P45 caused so many people to be overly sensitive, that reddit started banning in large numbers to cull the herd.
and most cities subreddits have been taken over by right wingers.
The breadth of the content
Active niche communities
Any that you’re willing to start up? I’m always looking for new communities to join!
Starting them up isn’t particularly difficult. Keeping them alive is.
Without enough users (and old content), it can be hard to keep a community afloat
Diversity. People on R were less uniform.
Maybe because they were more.
When there was only one allowed opinion in a sub, then you could often find another sub with the same topics allowed, but the only one allowed opinion was another one.
Reddit started out very similar to the current lemmy/fediverse audience. The nerds go first and eventually everyone else follows.
The “When does the narwhal bacon” crowd was not diverse at all
now it bans you for any opinion as of recently, but more heaivly geared if your criticizing musk, or the right, because musk had complained to spez on 2 occasions to start a purge of accounts.
The hyperspecific interests mainly. The wealth of obscure info too.
r/AskHistorians
The extra-specific ask communities where great! Ask science fiction was one of my favorites
I miss… the idea of it.
Video game specific communities. Like any random game that is even semi-popular has an active sub on Reddit. Even the most popular games in the entire world rn don’t have much activity, if they even have communities, on Lemmy.
I would rather argue the motivations of a souls boss than politics or what the best linux distro is 😮💨.

Miquella did nothing wrong.
Honestly, the only thing I don’t condone him doing is literally giving up his love. How can he be a benevolent god without that?
I feel like there’s probably about 50 different directions that one could take that idea, and the story very clearly paints that act as a Bad Thing™ to have done.
But to play devil’s advocate (just because I have also been missing this type of discussion), one could argue that experiencing love would compromise Miquella’s plans for his planned age of compassion. An age of compassion would be one which treats everyone equally, to try to universally end worldly suffering.
Love, on the other hand, is what allows one to play favorites, and is also something that cannot really be controlled. Having a stronger attachment towards some people over others because of love would result in discontent, and sabotage the type of egalitarian compassion Miquella wanted to create.
Marika’s reign became rocky because there were conflicts between those she favored and those she shunned. She absolutely played favorites, and did not love everyone equally. Her solution to break the cycle of suffering was to simply remove death from the world entirely, but as we saw, that just ended up making its own whole host of problems.
So I think Miquella was trying to avoid making that same mistake of favoritism we saw under Marika, but ended up making another mistake which could have been just as potentially consequential as his mother’s decision to shatter the rune of death. A dispassionate “compassion” wouldn’t really be compassion at all.
Hell, I still lurk truestl because there’s no equal here.
