(Serious) What are your favorite high quality Lemmy communities?
What are some of your favorite communities that feature topics like literature, science, ecology, aerospace, technology, politics, history, arts, culture, theory, and debate?
Where do responsible, respectful adults go for discussions and for substantive, high quality posts and comments by decent human beings?
(Not just limited to academic/intellectual topics, could be anything from hobbies to defense contracts to careers to skills. Just looking for respectful, reasonably intelligent, informed, relatively engaged communities.)
Also, are forum aggregators like Lemmy and Reddit even the best places to find such communities outside of listservers, universities, and academic conferences?
You should probably get off .world and go make an account over at mander.xyz. That way your home instance will be full of the kind of communities you seek and you can just supplement it with others.
Also, we're still building this thing. Feel free to come browse c/13thFloor@kbin.social, the very inactive but super cool arts community started by @Arotrios and currently being looked after by me until he gets back. Proper link in my bio.
Only for Lemmy. I think Kbin accounts access magazines a different way, but not sure. Sometimes I hear an @ sign works, sometimes I hear it doesn't, so I'll throw it in anyway:
Thanks. It doesn't work for me to type that with the way kbin formats (we use two lots of @ so what you typed is just plain text to me) so I have to do it with urls and was being lazy.
I have both lemmy and kbin formats for everything in my bio but I'm not sure if Lemmings can read my bio.
The coolness was all Arotrios and his crew, who are awol. I'm not really able to do it justice but it has potential and I try to keep it vaguely running. Please feel free to post there.
