Let's find some new communities!

This is a bot-fed community for finding new communities to subscribe to.

The bot's list is based on reading lemmyverse.net, sorting the resulting communities by (MAU divided by subscriber count), and posting the highest-ranking one that hasn't yet been printed.

It also reads Mbin and Piefed communities.

Enjoy!

Watch Reddit die. Pray for Reddit to die. Help Reddit die.

Rules

  1. No Reddit shills or trolls. But if you have a good argument for why Reddit should live, we'll hear you out.
  2. Try to be civil and intelligent. Be angry at Reddit, not each other.
  3. Provide evidence as much as possible without doxxing or harassing people.
  4. Should probably avoid linking directly to Reddit. Use archive.today and archive.org links.

Will add more rules as needed.

To me, looking over the community, list, it looks like the sweet spot is from 1,000 to 5,000 MAU. Any less, and the community starts to feel empty, and any more and it starts to get crowded and chaotic.

Interesting suggestion, seems like the sweet spot indeed

It might be good to try to make a tool which detects what communities someone might be interested in, that they don’t seem to be aware of, and either post or send it to them as a DM. There’s a lot you can do with data mining to figure out and prompt people for what they might be interested in.

That would be great. There was a community map visualization made a while ago: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/27579423

I was thinking about it recently, and how an interactive version of that would be very useful to help people discover new communities which might interest them

Combining it with that map is a solid gold idea. I really like that.

Also, revising that map into something like xkcd’s map of the internet from way back when would be nifty.

Indeed. Now the challenge is to find someone willing to create that 😄
