MODERATORS
 

This is not a comprehensive list by any means, and is why I'm featuring this post and leaving it open to comments. I may update this as people make suggestions, and I encourage others to make their own variations on this list in the comments or in their respective versions of this community.

Also to clarify some terms here, by active I'm aiming for at least some commenting on recent-ish posts, not merely recent posts, and by the topic names...I'll let the linked communities serve as examples.

Update Notes:
Major notes:

  • Added a wood category to creative section, with [email protected] & [email protected].
  • Adjusted and added two categories to the entertainment and now, relaxation, section: growing with [email protected] and aww animals with a multitude of communities.
  • Added to existing sections: musicproduction, drawing, watercolor, sillydrawingrequests, horrormovies, videos@sopuli, mealtimevideos@cafe, videoessays, longformvideos, football (not sure how I didn't have that already), squaredcircle, and formula1.

Minor notes:

  • Updated various communities to account for instance or community migrations, e.g. [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], and showsandmovies to [email protected].
  • Revised and added new sub-points for similar communities, e.g. video-game and different decade music communities under general music community. All links remain, just minor housekeeping.

I am very good at being online so I am definitely not just getting around to mentioning that I cross-posted this to our peer community [email protected] where some others have responded with some of the active communities they've found: https://lemmy.world/post/14734186

If you've any you'd like to add, comments are open here as well!

p.s. although it’s now out of date, as some instances are no longer around (RIP Lemmy.film), this post is still a pretty useful resource for a broader range of communities than those listed here.

Hey! Just a note: I have updated this post :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Thanks for the heads up! I realize this is a much delayed response, but I just got an urge to update my own lists here and adjusted the wording to indicate your post has been updated and to keep an eye on it.

There are some good communities that I did not frequent on here. Thanks.
