Scam Numbers - Reddit's (and possibly the internet's) largest scam number depository, now on Lemmy! (lemmy.zip)

With almost 40k subscribers on Reddit, r/ScamNumbers is one of the most useful online databases for tracking down scam phone numbers. Some use the information for awareness, while others take advantage by prank calling scammers to waste their time....

Welcome! Consider sharing on !communityPromo

Also these are a universal links and they makes it easier for people to subscribe from other instances

  • !scamnumbers (simplest, but some apps don’t support it)
  • link (more complicated and requires someone to be on Lemmy when viewing the link)

Otherwise people can use something like the instance assistant browser extension

otter, to newcommunities in !camphalfblood@literature.cafe - For discussion of the Percy Jackson series & other books in its universe (and its adaptation)

Cool!

Alternate link because some apps don’t support those links yet: LINK

Also considering promoting the community on !communitypromo

otter, to newcommunities in Survival Games - A place to discuss survival games

Sounds fun! You can drop a post on !communitypromo as well :)

otter, to mensliberation in Discussion on moving to another instance

I enjoy a lot of communities on lemmy.world, but I’d recommend against moving a community into it. Centralizing more communities there doesn’t feel productive, and I don’t think it would help with user numbers.

If you do want to move, slrpnk is cool and I think this community could succeed there. Personally, I think the best solution would be to promote this community around the Fediverse regardless of if you stay on this instance or move to another one. Places like !communityPromo and the other ones listed here: lemmy.ca/post/5581032.

Thanks for thinking about these things and for working on the community!

otter, to piracy in is there a Plex S4S community

See the pinned post in !communityPromo for some tips on finding communities. If there isn’t one that fits, this is probably the best instance for you to make that community

Just made this post with the different link options, I think the third one might work for you. Could you try them and share which ones work?

Quoted below:

There are a lot of different apps / frontends that can show stuff from Lemmy, and they vary in how well they support different link formats. Here is a short explainer:

Each entry below shows you what you should type (like this) and what you will see as a result (after the dash ‘-’).

For each entry, some apps will support it and others will not. It can be helpful to include a few different link formats so that everyone can use the link easily.

NOTE: There is a bug on the Lemmy website right now. If you start typing a community or username, it will try to autocomplete it. DO NOT click that autocomplete, or it will mess up the link.

!newToLemmy@lemmy.ca - !newToLemmy

  • This is the universal format. If you click this link, the community will open in your home instance.
  • This is the recommended method.
  • If you are coming from Reddit, it is similar to how you could type /r/askReddit

[you can put whatever here](/c/newToLemmy@lemmy.ca) - you can put whatever here

  • This is another way to make a universal link. If you click this link, the community will open in your home instance.
  • This works well if you can’t use the method above. For example, if you want to stick a link in a shields.io badge, you can use this technique to still include a universal link.

lemmy.ca/c/newToLemmy - lemmy.ca/c/newToLemmy

  • This is a hardcoded link. If you click this link, the community will open on a specific instance. Anyone using a different instance (ex. anything except lemmy.ca in this case) will not be able to subscribe right away, and they will need to redirect it first.
  • Sometimes you can’t use the methods above. For example, if you want to create a nice thumbnail while promoting your community on !communityPromo, you will need to use this URL.
  • If you use this method, try to use the other methods as well so people have options.
otter, (edited ) to asklemmy in List some interesting communities with a link

For those advertising communities, also try posting on !communityPromo

As for some of the ones I’m helping with

otter, to asklemmy in List some interesting communities with a link

Good point :) Here’s the blurb from the pinned post in !communityPromo

A great way to find lesser known communities is to look at the /communities page on an instance. For example: lemmy.ca/communities

🌐 Instances to look through

  • pangora.social (NEW): Great way to find instances related to a particular topic. This is also great for picking an instance when first making an account/moving accounts.
  • awesome-lemmy-instances: not that organized, but it

otter, (edited ) to asklemmy in What are some communities that you are a part of?

We also have !CommunityPromo for this purpose :)

Promote your favourite communities here, or ask about a community you are looking for. This includes groups for Lemmy, Kbin, Telegram, Matrix, Discord, Reddit, etc.

Please share some cool stuff in this thread, but also consider subscribing to the community above for more content like this over time

here’s one that I was going to post over there: !edc

What do you carry on a daily basis?

It has cool wallets, pens, flashlights, gadgets, and anything else people carry with them

I'm currently regularly posting to:

I'm mostly posting screenshots and other people are mostly posting fan art when they post.

It's not very active, but I've also been posting (when I have content) to:

I'm following with interest and occasionally commenting on:

There are some really fun images being generated over there lately with a lot of variety!

I like random art popping up in the sidebar from time to time on kbin. I'm not actively following but have seen some fun imagery occasionally pop-up from:

So maybe take a look at those as well if they sound interesting.

I'm also subbed to a bunch of other communities, but not interacting with them very much; no content of my own to post right now and they're either (mostly) dormant or the people who are posting are not posting the sorts of content I'm interested in engaging with currently (but I might be interested in the future, so I subbed):

I joined that last one to hopefully find other interesting communities as well.

Occasionally I'll interact with other communities when they pop-up in the newest threads feed on kbin.social -- e.g. https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/196 or other meme communities. Sometimes people post things like technical problems they're struggling with in https://programming.dev/c/cpp or wherever and if I see the threads and have time I try to answer them.

If you find a community that looks interesting but is dormant, start posting regularly (like maybe once a day). If you get upvotes or comments, there are still people around who just don't have content to interact with!

Edit: I should also add for the off kbin/lemmy part, I'm also on Hacker News (news.ycombinator.com) under a different username -- although that has a tendency to piss me off, so I'm cutting back on reading it.

Then later on there’s also !communityPromo

Welcome! I’d recommend subscribing to !communitypromo, to see recommendations over time.

We also have a guide for finding new communities here: lemmy.ca/post/5581032, which I’ve copied below for you.
