Since there isn't really a good alternative to the now defunct Random Acts of Gaming, I created a new community for giving away free stuff: !giveaways@piefed.ca

While I expect the community to mostly be game keys, I intentionally left it open for other stuff. I've also already posted three game giveaways.

@otter@lemmy.ca proposed I repost the stickied post I put here onto this community. I did post this about 6 weeks ago, but I have finally isolated the problem.

This is a sort of follow-up from this post and this post. I decided to check the data of all subscribers to television@piefed.social and discovered that about a month ago, probably more like six-weeks - pretty much all lemmy based subscribers were purged from this community. Literally no-one except old subscribers from lemm.ee and beehaw.org (for some reason?) were listed as subscribers as viewed from piefed.social.

According to the count from piefed.social, television@piefed.social has 125 lemmy.world based subscribers.

If you look at it from lemmy.world though, it says 802 local subscribers. That's a massive drop. lemmy.zip I record 95 subscribers. Looking at it from lemmy.zip: 561 local subscribers.

So anyone who is an old subscriber, who may even be receiving updates still - please hit unsubscribe and resubscribe if you have not already.

And additionally the bug completely cut the community off from midwest.social and feddit.nu. If anyone there sees this, and you were subscribed - it's been tethered and your instances are no longer receiving updates. Midwest.social had 10 local followers at the time.

Hej! For Swedish speakers who want a chance to speak Swedish, I have an advice community!

Are you a fan of the Crossed Comic series? Me too! So I created a community to discuss my favorite comic series of all time, just make sure you read the rules before posting! Could contain NSFW but you can just turn NSFW off so don't worry!

Adding to the other daily comic communities, is Foxtrot. The first strip will be posted this Friday, the 10th of April, on the 38th anniversary of the strip's syndication debut.

!foxtrot@slrpnk.net

For anyone unfamiliar with the strip:

FoxTrot is an American comic strip written and illustrated by Bill Amend. The strip launched on April 10, 1988, and it originally ran seven days a week. From December 31, 2006 onwards, FoxTrot has only appeared on Sundays.

The strip revolves around the daily lives of the Fox family, composed of parents Andrea (Andy) and Roger and their children, Peter, Paige, and Jason. It covers a wide range of subject matter, including spoofs of pop culture fads, nerd culture, complex math, and popular consumer products.

Exactly what it sounds like. This is an organised place to find other plant nerds who want to trade seeds, cuttings, and live plants.

I'm posting this again because I know that there are many growers out there looking for certain species or trying to find a home for their extra seeds or seedlings. Don't be shy!

Yeah I just created the community on one instance and now the instance is shutting down so, making it again on lemmy.cafe instead.

We actually had some posts already on the old community which was awesome to see. I know it's a bit tedious but I hope those of you who liked it and contributed join back!

(Not sure if this kind of post is technically in the spirit of "new communities", especially since I literally made the same post like a week or so ago but, I'd hate to see the budding community die because of things outside my control)

Come join us over at !Europe@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Europe community on dbzer0. Intended to be a place to discuss European news, politics, or just general topics from a European perspective. Since this is on dbzer0 expect the community to lean more leftist-anarchist but a wide range of views are accepted here (within reason).

!thelittlethings@lemy.lol

I took a cursory glance and didn't see (living) communities of this vein. Figured I may as well start one.

The admins of StarTrek.website have graciously responded to my request to host a Monsterverse community on Lemmy.

The great Toho franchise now has a home on the fediverse where we can share news and views.

Whether you’re a longtime fan, a newcomer or just Monsterverse-curious, please feel welcome to join in.

Go as crazy as you want (within reason). Go as stupid as you want.

I just checked out this community from lemmy.world and found that it has half of the subscribers it has as viewed on piefed.social (3.6k vs. 1.7k). Something happened. On closer investigation, it seems that almost all piefed.social subscribers have been purged - so I'm doing some advertisement to try and rebuild. I have also pinged rimu.

This does not seem to be affecting other piefed.social communities.
