3·7 hours agoI’m just pointing this out as I was following !askmenover30@lemm.ee , and it never got really active.
As you said, the majority of Lemmy is probably men over 30 years old.
That said, good luck!
I haven’t ever followed it. Do we know if him adopting Linux have an effect on his audience?
That might be me, but I feel like Lemmy’s general Ask communities are small/quiet enough for questions targeting a certain demographics to be asked there
For Lego, !lego@piefed.social could probably be considered as the one, especially with the mod of the former community now a mod there
Also, the animation link seems broken, here’s another one: https://lemm.ee/post/65945910?scrollToComments=true
Nice recap!
For !yurop@lemm.ee , there’s kind of a (friendly) split
- !casualeurope@piefed.social for casual conversations between Europeans
- !YUROP@feddit.org for memes about European politics
Agreed
I was trying to show that it’s easier said than done.
Same for the region choice, we all learned that Lemm.ee was closing 24 hours ago. The Voyager dev made the best choice with the small timeframe, he’ll probably revisit down the line.
Which instance would you use instead of lemmy.zip?
From another post
- Lemmy.world is too big
- sh.itjust.works names contains “shit”, which can deter users
- lemmy.ca is Canadian-centric
- feddit.org, is German-centric, but technically English speaking too
- dbzer0 federates hexbear
- programming.dev is topic-centric
- blahaj is queer-focused
- discuss.tchncs.de has a difficult name
- lemmy.sdf.org does not defederate anyone
- beehaw defederates LW and SJW
- infosec.pub is topic-centric
- aussie.zone is country-centric
- midwest.social is region-centric

There’s a reason lemm.ee was the previous default instance.
Thank you for offering, some communities might ask you for help!
Personally I tend to try to find active members who are known to be positive in the community before reaching out to them and offering them a mod position. It’s easier for them to mod if they’re already invested in the community.
Great list, as usual!
Thank you for confirming !
I usually go direct link indeed
Wouldn’t the UK potential new joiners register on feddit.uk anyway?
I was happy to participate without having to find another instance for my communities
