As a newbie I appreciate you posting this

If you are German-speaking, your main instance of interest for communities will probably be feddit.org with the main community being !dach@feddit.org (and inofficially !ich_iel@feddit.org) - check it out if you haven't yet

where's the good porn. do not send me to lemmynsfw.
- There used to be pornlemmy but it died (and was too restrictive in my opinion)
  I don't know why not the one you named, as far as I know it's the only remaining general porn instance. There's just a few scattered communities on other general instances, and there are specialty instances like your own.
  There's also a bit on Mastodon but mostly reposting from reddit.

Added a few of the animals communities compared to last time

Hey Blaze would be cool if you could add !sillydrawingrequests@sopuli.xyz to that list since it fits!
- At some point I think I'll just take over !index@lemmy.zip and list all active communities over there.
  I try to keep the list "manageable" but your community should definitely be there
  
  Oh that would be sweet! Yeah no worries up to you - lemmy will grow!

THANK YOU

This is a great post we should do a round up like this every few months. I know one of the hardest things was finding the right communities when so many were created and just became bot spam from reddit which did it a disservice since while it was from a good intent to create a bunch of content quickly. It stopped everyone from posting becase there was no engagement with OP. So it just looked like spam.

Great work!

great collection! love it.
