Hey, I've been looking at what I'm subscribed to on Lemmy and it really grim, and not really what I want from a social media. I'm into tech, but the tech subs talk about evil things companies do, a lot of linux meme and programmer humor, and it's all cool and all, piracy talking about how it's bad what certain company do. And when you go in global it's "Amercan Politics" "Elon Musk Bad" "Stealing data", "our world ending"

Recently my brother and I where bored, and I went to show him we moved to lemmy, and said we had memes and all the stuff here. And looking at top memes, it was "complaining about big tech", and "complaining on windows".

And, I miss a bit all I had on Reddit not going to lie.

So is there any active community with some positive things anywhere you'd recommend. I just feel like I'm in a bad angry environment.

I've got:

!wholesome@kbin.social

!wholesomememes@lemmy.ml

!cat@lemmy.world

!rpgmemes@ttrpg.network

!pixelart@lemmy.ml

!photography@lemmy.ml

!cafe@monyet.cc

!houseplants@mander.xyz

Edit: Wow! If you come after, I'd truly, truly invite you to look around in the comments, people here truly changed the way I see Lemmy, its way different now! Way better!

If you like art there's...

!abstractphotography@lemmy.ml

!collage@lemmy.ml

!printmaking@lemmy.ml

also

!traditional_art@lemmy.world

!artporn@lemm.ee

I've curated some other art communities in the side bar at !artistlounge@lemmy.ml including watercolour, art share and one of the photography communities

There are also lots of science and nature communities on mander and beehaw, if you search by 'all' in the communities tab at the top, type and just go down a few rabbit holes...nudibranchs, orchids, botany, minerals, geology, animals and pets etc all exist, you just need to start searching

Happy trails :)

edit forgot !awwnverts@lemmy.world and !natures_patterns@lemmy.world

Can you fix the last couple links? Nature's patterns isn't working for me. Also, love this thread. Going to start pulling all these communities into my All feed by clicking on all of them lol.

Sorry about the links, they should (hopefully) work now :)

Also I forgot this which may/may not be of use

!trendingcommunities@feddit.nl

It lists all the trending communities by activity and subscriber numbers, I've found a few interesting places that way :)

see the comment below, re trending communities, I replied to myself instead of you

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !abstractphotography@lemmy.ml, !traditional_art@lemmy.world, !artporn@lemm.ee, !artistlounge@lemmy.ml

Their links work fine. Your links do NOT work at all.

Bad bot!
