I created a new MarkMyWords Community (lemmy.world)

In an effort to boost text posts on Lemmy, I have created https://lemmy.world/c/MarkMyWords. Similar to the original subreddit with the same name, this is a community where users can come and share their bold predictions with everyone so they can have proof that they've called it before it happened.

I have created a couple of sampler posts in hopes of garnering engagement to get this community to start growing. I hope everybody reading this checks it out!

Strategy Games - Computer games with a strategic component; construction, expansion, armies, economic development. (piefed.world)

!strategy_games@piefed.world

Discussion on all sub-genres (RTS, Grand Strategy, Economic Strategy etc.) is welcome, but the focus is on "generic" strategy games and hybrid games that don't fit into the following communities:

Disclaimer: I mod/curate two of these communities and contribute a lot to the other two (mega nerd, I know).

If you take a look at the above-mentioned communities, you'll see that they are pretty active (over a long period of time), my goal is to maintain the same level of content for this new strategy games community.

While we do have 2 other strategy games communities on the Threadiverse, it's mainly me posting (or occasional crossposts of my own initial share).

A list of casual communities on Lemmy (that aren't just tech news or politics) (lemmy.world)

I posted this on the other site but I thought I'd copy over here too, lots of good communities around to subscribe to if you want a more casual/fun frontpage that isn't just tech news, elon musk, or politics.

note: all of these communities have posts. If they appear empty, it simply means nobody on the instance you use has visited them before (or you might have blocked them and forgot, I've done it before, lol)! I will try to keep this thread updated over time.

Note: if you wish to auto-subscribe to all of the communities below, I have a post in the comments that describes how to do so.

My rough criterion was:

  • Of interest to me or a wide audience
  • Has a decent amount of activity
  • Casual / fun / interesting / cool / funny / chatty communities.
  • 0 negativity/negative vibes, news, politics, overload of tech or niche tech news/info, etc.
