We need more cat forums.
This. Video games too. And porn for that matter. We're overall a little weak on the trifecta of primary internet subject matter.
At least we're solid on owls though, my enduring admiration to our dedicated owl posters.
there are a lot of video game communities already
honestly too many lol, luckily PieFed has feeds to help this issue https://piefed.social/f/games
there's even more if you include the more specialized communities https://piefed.social/f/allgames
Unironically this. We need cute animals. Cats, owls, moths, capibaras, pangolins. If we're not gonna have one of the two "true movers" of the internet (porn and correcting people who are wrong) we need something good to compensate.
There are a lot of owls. But also cat, dogs, etc - https://piefed.social/topic/wholesome
Oh glad to see there's quite some representation around.
Now, we have to add to it.
(I should really adopt a non-photogenic cat sometime)
Lemmy has pretty active communities for both bunnies and foxes.
Every time I think about starting a community about one of my hobbies, I look at a random modlog and realize I don't want any part of it.
The trick is starting a community, but delegating moderation to someone else. Admin ≠ Mod.
There's some anime titties but not enough to go around.
And guitars.
I've genuinely been thinking about starting nsfw fandom (anime/games) communities centered around more female or queer orientated audiences but I don't know if I'll want to deal with moderation and having to keep it active...
Edit: I also wish we had more silly mini comms of things. I have a family member who finds a new cat sub like every week, but we don't really have that here.
