Hexbear.net is pretty chill most of the time! The News megathread is always more sobering, but the culture is goofy and fun.

I think the ADHD meme instance is pretty chill.

I also like the Danish feddit, but we all speak Danish, so eh. But that is probably the most wholesome place in this whole lemmy/feddit thing.

Maybe the dad joke group too, but that's not really a place for chatting xD more like a place you go to punish yourself 😆

Superbowl is pretty delightful

!dull_mens_club@lemmy.world (along with !Dullsters@dullsters.net) is probably my favourite.

I just found !animals@lemmy.world recently and I’ve been enjoying it a lot so far

A lot of the photography communities, like !entomology@mander.xyz, !crows@lemmy.ml, !birding@lemmy.world are great

!mealtimevideos@lemmy.cafe, !pixelart@retrolemmy.com and !solarpunk@slrpnk.net (and the other solarpunk related comms) are quite chill :)

!upliftingnews@lemmy.world

Liminalspace is quite peaceful

Cats

little wins and small victories is very low volume, but wonderful to see pop up in your feed.

The nsfw communities are pretty happy with what's going on there

Aww

What many people perceive as negativity is cognitive dissonance related to their own standpoint on an issue. It can be quite relaxing to get the truth up front and save yourself a few hours. I'd say this site is already good, just needs more people to flesh it out still. ;)
