A list of casual communities on Lemmy (that aren't just tech news or politics)

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/2216085 --- Searching [Lemmyverse](https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active&nsfw=null) is good for finding communities. !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl is also a nice tool for finding new places. I posted this on the *other site* but I thought I'd copy over here too, lots of good communities around to subscribe to if you want a more casual/fun frontpage that isn't just tech news, elon musk, or politics. note: all of these communities have posts. If they appear empty, it simply means nobody on the instance you use has visited them before (or you might have blocked them and forgot, I've done it before, lol)! I will try to keep this thread updated over time. Note: if you wish to auto-subscribe to all of the communities below, I have a post in the comments that describes how to do so. --- My rough criterion was: - Of interest to me or a wide audience - Has a decent amount of activity - Casual / fun / interesting / cool / funny / chatty communities. - 0 negativity/negative vibes, news, politics, overload of tech or niche tech news/info, etc. --- **Directory** - Conversation Communities - for chatty places - "ask" based - Casual chat / Misc - Hobbies, Creative, Passions - Misc - Artwork - Cooking, food, drinks - Gardening / Plants - Keyboard enthusiasts - Knitting, stitching, crocheting, etc - Reading and writing - Nice/Interesting/Funny pictures - Animals - Comics - Flags - Maps - Memes - Misc - Photography - Wallpapers - Games - Board games / Table top games - Chess - Crosswords / Daily games - Video games - Knowledge (e.g history, science, etc) - Space - TV (television, movies, film) - Music --- #### Conversation communities These are places that are 'chatty', good if you want a lot of comments. ##### "ask" based - !asklemmy@lemmy.ml - !asklemmy@lemmy.world - !askmeanything@lemmy.ca - !askouija@lemmy.world - !askscience@lemmy.world - !askuk@feddit.uk - !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world ##### Casual chat / Misc - !cafe@monyet.cc - casual chat community.
