Lemmy411 - Don't know where to find what you're looking for?

1668 readers
1 users here now

As with /r/411 this is where you ask what Community you're looking for but not finding. Perhaps a bit more helpful now that some communities are only found on certain instances.

Found/new community announcements - there are numerous "announcement type communities - see https://lemmy.ca/post/612532

There is also !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca

Before you request There are several resources available to find communities and resources and these have been pinned to the top.

e

Rules

  1. Don't be a jerk or be deliberately unhelpful
  2. Please post a clear easy to understand request for a community (or instance!)
  3. Pls no NSFW requests - if you want to create /c/NSFW411 go ahead.
  4. No posting of personal information
  5. Please refrain from suggesting users should use search engines or directories.
  6. No joke, troll or misleading suggestions or requests
  7. No spam

What are you hoping for exactly, philosophy-wise? Like, what do you want removed.

Uh, did you want it over on !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca instead? I see you're no longer looking anyway, though.

oh that! I got two others for !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca , no takers for here at !lemmy411@lemmy.ca yet tho. U want in?

It depends on what your answer to my question is. :)

ah. just obvious spam and obvious troll community/magazine requests. NSFW ("where do I find the donkey porn?" etc.). Bogus or troll community recommendation responses (I don't know exactly what that might look like... (like asking about the Matrix movies and being redirected to /c/theredpill? dunno)) or anyone being rude or disruptive.

For the time being as the Reddxile continues and Lemmy grows, am going easy on missplaced "related" posts like announcements of communities (should go -> !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca ) or instances, but have been recommending ppl remove and repost in the better community. Keep this one for "where do I find a community/instance for _____" type things. Enforce the things over there (which I totally stole from /r/411) -->

Ah okay. Yeah, I can help with that!

There'll be some post replies which will be like "there's two really good community search engines y don't u use those?" to which I'd reply "well, yeah, but sometimes community names aren't intuitively obvious until you know. Like /r/trees <- wasn't really about trees." Or a fan community might be named something that only a fan would know, like star wars --> /c/moseislycantina. So even tho there are two good search engines for community exploration there's still value add in this sub methinks.
