Hello,

As everybody knows, content discovery on Lemmy can sometimes be a bit tricky.

To help smaller communities to get more activity, I launch this thread for people to promote the communities they are active one.

One important criteria: please only promote communities that have been at least one post in the last 7 days. And if there is none, feel free to post there and then promote it here!

    Animals:

    [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] (I promise this is about the animal, not the conservative American news network) [email protected]

    I have been told before !communityname@instancename.com style links do not work for everyone and that [link name](/c/communityname@instancename.com) works for others, so:

    [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]

    Feel free to add more, these are just the animals I personally like enough to have sought out a Fediverse community for them

        I do kinda wish [email protected] had gone with something else, as I’m not much into the Reddit copycat stuff, and it confuses people longer than it entertains them, but it was established before I got here.

        I like to think it’s a bit different than the Reddit version as well. Much less memes and reposted stuff without context. I like to do longer form articles when I get the chance and people show interest. I’ve done some articles about owl anatomy and some ELI5 on some scientific journal articles. The Owl of the Year tournament ran for like 2-3 weeks in December and everyone had a blast with that, and I plan to do it again.

        If there’s anything specific you want to see or learn about, just let me know.

            I do enjoy the great variety of animals one sees scrolling All these days. Not just cats and (surprisingly few) dogs, but birds, opossums, raccoons, and bats. Sometimes I get some cute pics of other beasties when I’m going through my animal rescue feeds and I like there’s good places to share those as well.
