What are some great communities to follow that are not on lemmy.ml or beehaw (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

The way Lemmy works right now is you search a community in your instance for it to then get shown, so you need to first discover that community from elsewhere. With that in mind, what are some growing communities that you discovered that could get some more love?

Posted this elsewhere, but as people flood in maybe some community promotion isn't a bad thing...

I’ve setup an instance focused on some niche topics and hobbies, there’s not much there yet but here they are if anyone wants to check them out:

FFXIV → https://possumpat.io/c/ffxiv

Bugs → https://possumpat.io/c/bugmenagerie

Esports → https://possumpat.io/c/esports

Gundam → https://possumpat.io/c/gundam

Star Trek → https://possumpat.io/c/startrek

Xenoblade → https://possumpat.io/c/xenoblade

Someone said you can format links so that login is not required to subscribe. I still don’t totally understand how all this works. The example they gave was /c/news@lemmy.pineapplemachine.com

I have been waiting for this.

!thescarydoor is a Futurama subreddit that I am shamelessly self-promoting. I hope that's okay.

Edit: I don't know how to link it properly, I guess.

Subscribed! For people on the lemmy side, just searching for https://kbin.social/m/thescarydoor should have it come up.
