I just realized I don’t have many discussion communities on my feed. My feed is filled with all news articles and I rarely find any posts written by people to discuss stuff. The communities where they discuss normal life stuff or anything in particular, majorly with texts, is what I want, idk what you actually call them.
Thanks.
You must log in or register to comment.
movies, entertainment, without getting potentially sanctioned or astroturfed like you on reddit for discussing the same things, especially people are so fixated on the actors that they would defend them even if became they became POS. TIL, and sometimes news.
some of these are “ask” communities which sometimes turn into discussions
- !ask@lemm.ee

I love dull mens club and dullsters
Check these two
They are PieFed communities but you can join them from Lemmy
I’m still trying to understand the difference between Lemmy and PieFed, but they seem to be fully interoperable…?
Yes.
The Threadiverse has multiple intercompatible “Reddit-alike” software packages.
-
Lemmy (the biggest). Example: https://lemmy.world/ Written in the Rust programming language.
-
PieFed. Example: https://piefed.social/ Written in the Python programming language.
-
Mbin (the successor of the defunct Kbin project). Example: https://fedia.io/ Written in the PHP programming language.
There’s also Sublinks, written in Java, but I don’t know for sure whether that’s going to actually get the ball rolling. https://demo.sublinks.org/ Think they need more developers contributing.
EDIT: Note that while this approach is unusual for the centralized Web-oriented social media era, where typically one company controls the whole shebang and has one codebase, it is common for federated systems. There are many different NNTP server implementations for Usenet, many different XMPP server implementations for instant messaging, many different IRC server implementations for chat, many different SMTP server implementations for email, many different FidoNet implementations.
Is there a difference between Fediverse and Threadiverse ? Or is just terminology so people understand the link to Meta’s Theads?
Threadiverse is a term for Fediverse platforms that provide threaded conversations, like Lemmy, PieFed, Mbin, NodeBB. The term was used before Meta’s Threads was a thing.
Thanks for the clarification.

I’m rather fond of !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world . You need not be a man, and you post about the dull goings on of your personal life (e.g. “made a ham sandwich today,” or “fixed my washing machine over the weekend”)
It’s always awesome to see the community I created mentioned in the wild!
I also created !dullsters@dullsters.net as an independent alternative.
dull…fixed my washing machine
I mean, an incorrectly-operating washing machine can make things quite exciting indeed.
!general@lemmy.world is General discussion
!politicaldiscussiin@lemmy.world is Political discussion
!chat@beehaw.org (not accessible from lemmy.world)
!chat@lemmy.one (fairly inactive)
!canada@lemmy.ca is a mix of news articles, discussion and anything Canadian that doesn’t really fit well anywhere else.
!nostupidquestions@lemmy.world is also pretty good.
