Besides tech-focused instances, what other subject focused Lemmy/Kbinstances have you found?
Besides tech-focused instances, what other subject focused Lemmy/Kbinstances have you found?
Currently I'm more aware of general interest instances for both Lemmy & Kbin, and a few more focused ones (e.g. Mander.xyz/slrpnk.net/startrek.website), so I'm curious what others there might be.
At the same time, would you be interested in more narrowly focused instances that aren't tech-oriented, and if so, concerning what subjects?
Also as to why you might want those, it's mainly for a more focused local feed related to communities surrounding the primary subject you joined for, meanwhile your subscribed/all feeds would remain more general. An example might be you join a country/region-oriented instance where the local communities may literally be based around local communities in your area as well as regional/national & sub-regional/national news or the like.
No idea if lemmy.ca is organized like that in any way btw, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are some Canadian-themed local communities there. Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked, but see first couple sentences for the main question & topic.

edit: I've made lots of little corrections here and there, added links and all that. Must be like version 20 by now.
The Denmark one is feddit.dk 😌
Preeeeety sure the correct one for Germany is feddit.de
We have two!
Good catch! Fixed the typo.
I'd like to add no.lastname.nz to the list, a New Zealand based instance with an outdoors/environmental slant. I'm working with Dave from lemmy.nz to not duplicate communities
Spain/spanish https://eslemmy.es/
Feddit.nu for Sweden as well.
https://ttrpg.network/ for all things TTRPG!
Lemmy.film
Yea ... this one for me too ... was very pleasantly surprised to see that instance. A link for those curious: https://lemmy.film/?dataType=Post&listingType=Local&page=1&sort=Active
shameless self-plug but i host an instance for the life is strange fandom (pricefield.org)
i've also seen a game preservation instance at preserve.games
Theres wayfarershaven.eu for travel-related and niche hobbyist topics like knitting, sewing, and fountain pens
Self plug: Mental health instance -- members must be verified to be employed in mental health professions. lem.clinicians-exchange.org .
I've been thinking of starting a theatre-focused kbin instance, but realistically not until the platform has matured, as my sysadmin days are well, well, well behind me. In the meantime I've started a Musicals magazine on kbin.social.
I joined the MTGzone.com instance because I used to use Reddit for MTG news 80% of the time anyway, andnnow I have a nice local feed for magic the gathering stuff and a federated feed for everything else. It's great!
Inspired by this thread, I made a community for cataloging specialized instances:
http://dormi.zone is focused mainly on the games Warframe and Soulframe.
https://poptalk.scrubbles.tech/ to discuss pop music. Nice community
