I noticed there wasn't any retroarch community on Lemmy for support, discussion, news, sharing themes, shaders, settings, recommendations, etc. So I decided I'd make it. I'll be contributing as much as I can to this community. I hope we can get some retroarch fun going in the threadiverse!

For those unfamiliar, RetroAchievements is a service that adds achievements to a ton of Retro games and game hacks. In fact, there’s as of right now over 7,800 games and hacks with achievement sets, counting nearly 360,000 total achievements. The website also has an achievement score system that works into a total score for players, as well as a bunch of community features.

I personally think this project is great because it gives me some reason to go back and replay games I’ve loved, and encourages me to play more of games that I think I’ll love. My personal favourite systems with RA support are N64, SNES, PS1, PS2, GBA, and Nintendo DS.

I hope people find this community to their liking. Please let me know of any changes you want in how I do things around here, but until then I’ll be doing all I can to contribute and create a community!

For this promo, I thought I'd find a community that's been dormant for a while.

This is a community for pictures of scrungy cats. Here are guidelines for what determines scrunginess:

  • Squinty eyes
  • Mouth partially open
  • Teeth visible
  • Weird posture encouraged

Probably one of my favourite communities, both here and on Reddit.

The Night Feeling is the thoughtful nostalgic emotion you feel when you drive alone at night, or see a city skyline at dusk with the wind in your face.

It’s a community for the feeling you get when you’re feeling lonely but at peace, thoughtful but melancholy, and homesick for something you can’t quite remember

[email protected] (alternate link)

  • Promote your favourite communities here
  • Ask about a community you are looking for

[email protected] (alternate link)

  • Regular posts with ALL the trending communities from across the threadiverse

[email protected] (alternate link)

  • Learn about communities that are new / being rebooted

[email protected] (alternate link)

  • We pick two communities a week (one lemmy.world, and one from another instance) to highlight each week

Other communities, some of which are less active:


🌐 Instances to look through

You can find communities from specific instances

A great way to find lesser known communities is to look at the /communities page on an instance. Different instances may have different themes or focuses, and so you can find related communities that way.

For example: https://lemmy.ca/communities

  • pangora.social: 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


🔎 Search Engines

When you have a topic in mind, but don't know if a community exists for it


🔥 Apps and Browser Extensions

These can make it easier to find, subscribe, and manage communities on different instances

It's now under new moderation, and we should be more active moving forward. Since a lot of the community recommendation spaces aren't as active anymore, hopefully this space can get things going again.

Come share your communities, from whatever platform you are using!

You can also check out the updated list of community discovery resources here: https://lemmy.ca/post/5581032, or by checking the pinned post.

Cheers :)

Just wanted to share new community I created for anything related to the Couch to 5k running programs & beginner running in general.

What is Couch 2 5k?

The official plan consists of ever-increasing intervals of running, interspersed with fast walking. It also relies on rest days to allow your body to build strength. The official plan takes 9 weeks in total to get you from absolutely no running ability, to running 5K non-stop. Other similar plans are available that may take a longer or shorter time to complete.

Below is a list of communities dedicated to British music, artists, and genres (lemme know if you have any others!).

General


Genres (general)

Festivals / Events

Specific Bands/Artists

Metal, Rock, & Punk

A lot of rock, punk, and metal music is heavily entwined with British music, even if not explicitly solely created here. Therefore, I am including these genres here (at least, the ones that are more closely linked to British music in some form), albeit they likely aren't primarily British in focus.

List of Metal Communities

List of Rock Communities

List of Punk Communities


Duplicate Communities

Below are communities that already exist in a more-active form listed above. They're listed here nonetheless for posterity, but the above-listed equivalents are probably better options for you.
