I'll never pass up a chance to promote !superbowl@lemmy.world (Owls, not the NFL thing)
It's always nice to see some jokes stick around, I hope when I die this is still a joke. (No sarcasm either, I truly love it and how much it annoys some people)
Wow, didn't know this was a thing. I was watching What They Do in the Shadows recently and there's a Superbowl episode.
Does it actually annoy people? Wow, that makes it even funnier.
I already subscribed to those feathery fowls the first day I joined :-)
I also endose this recommendation!
!superbowl@lemmy.world has everything for your owl related needs!
Love cats? Try owls, the cats of the sky!
We've got cute owls, angry owls, stern owls, and silly owls.
White, brown, red, grey, big, medium, and small!
Find out where to meet owls or how to get started working with owls.
If you want hard science or fluffy photos, !superbowl@lemmy.world has got it, and if we don't have it, we'll get it!
We're pretty consistently in the top trending communities for a niche group, and there's an ever growing number of fans checking in daily.
"Come on down to to Anon6789's Outrageous Owl Emporium on 100th st!"
Lol it's a slow day at work, what can I say? ๐
Hey, admin of programming.dev here
Heres a nice selection of communities from various of the topic instances including ours that might be nice for most people
edit, heres some more:
Not a specific community, but check out everything on mander.xyz if you haven't yet. Lots of great science related communities on there. It's already a pretty active instance but would love to see the communities on there get even more love.
Good rec, the mander.xyz stuff is great.
Wow I had no idea this entire instance existed, and there's some heavy following too, I'll definitely be subbing to some of those communities
A community for EMS professionals that I manage and desperately want to see more activity in:
!ems@lemm.ee (https://lemm.ee/c/ems)
A community for sharing spooky stories, doesn't matter if they're true or not:
funny how one of the most popular subs in reddit still don't have a vary active community in lemmy. Will sub for hope
Oh cool, subbed to the spooky one!
Thank you!
Had to look up what "EMS" is, it's not referred to as this in my country and your "about" section didn't provide any more description - you might get more international users if you use a more general term like "emergency service workers" or "ambulance" or something like that

Has sooo much potential. I can feel the memes flowing through it.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !tvtoohigh@lemmy.world
Copy-pasting my usual response to these threads:
I'm legally obliged to shill the various crafting communities, my two most used are !knitting@lemmy.world and !lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works but you can find lots more in the sticky thread in either of those.
Then there's also !imadethis@lemm.ee which has been a bit quiet lately so if you've made something, go show it off!
You made me click on !potatoism@lemmy.world
Not disappointed.

I'm a mod of !startpages (https://kbin.social/m/startpages), which is all about the startpage/new tab page that resides in your browser. Right now It only has a few posts, so it'd be great to have some more users.
!sideoftheroad@possumpat.io
To mods here at !asklemmy, I know this is on the edge of rule 3 and 4, I'm seeing a lot of newbie questions though and was hoping this could head off a thousand new posts of users asking what and how to use lemmy. Actually, I'm going to add some of that to the post.
Other communities to subscribe to for more of this
!newtolemmy@lemmy.ca (for new users to ask any questions, including communities)
!communityPromo@lemmy.ca (same purpose as this post)
!newcommunities@lemmy.world (for brand new communities as they're made)
Edit: oops you already linked some of this, thanks for making the post!
Plz add a ! Infront so I can click on those in sync เผผ ใค โ_โ เผฝใค
!moviesandtv@lemm.ee is a pretty great community if you're into movies and tv. It's where a lot of the regulars from moviesandtv@lemmy.film went after the lemmy.film instance was shut down.
Thanks for helping out the newbees by making this post.
Also shamless plug https://sh.itjust.works/c/machinist
A community about machining, and other various trade and manufactoring shenniagans.

Good bot
I want to suggest !main@lemmy.ca , or !chatter@lemmy.ca (general topic discussion that's been kind of inactive), !general@lemmy.world, and other just general chat communities across servers that aren't memes and shitposts, just to give people a low bar of entry to talk about how they feel, what's going on in their lives (to the extent they wish to share).
Someone looking for general advice, share something cool that isn't yet part of any community (but it could help start one), ask a question that they feel isn't a good fit for asklemmy, newbs and forum veterans can talk about their experiences. I think it can foster contributions from power-posters, occasional posters, commentors and lurkers alike and grow the Lemmyverse organically.
Shameless plug for a community that I moderate because we need more folks!
We even have a bot that posts the scores and basic stats of each NHL game.
I started a fantasy basketball community here for anyone interested. I try to share helpful articles I find and plan to do more if it grows.
!fantasy_basketball@lemmy.ml
slrpnk.net
For books and reading related: !fiction@literature.cafe !books@lemmy.ml !classics@literature.cafe !literature@beehaw.org For discworld fans: !discworld@lemmy.ml
I'm going to shamelessly plug the community I just made for Ambigrams.
