Lets make a thread to post our niches that we have found here. Big magazines are ok too.
I’ll start: /m/mechanicalkeyboards, so glad it migrated here!
Edit: You can add a direct fediverse link (so that any users from any fediverse instance looking at this post can click on it) with the following two methods:
Click on the “link” button in the text editor, or manually write in the following format (all together):
[ /m/mechanicalkeyboards ] ( https://kbin.social/m/mechanicalkeyboards )
OR (all together):
@ mechanicalkeyboards @ kbin.social
Edit 2: magazine / community names are case-sensitive apparently, mind the uppercase letters!
Working on getting /m/darkroom off the ground for anyone interested in darkroom processing or analog photography more generally. Come take a look!
I got a few small ones started this week, https://kbin.social/m/Espresso and https://kbin.social/m/Climbing for some of my favorite hobbies!
not going to do any climbing today or ever lol, but I did just finish an espresso so I’ll see you there
I aim to separate general mycological topics from ID requests, because the latter clogged up the sub back in the former homeland and was moderated much too laissez faire for my taste.
https://kbin.social/m/Mycology is the general mag.
https://kbin.social/m/MushroomID is for ID requests and mutual help at identification.
m/dryherbvapes is a community of dry herb vape enthusiasts to chat, offer assistance, answer questions, and share experiences.
Even if you don’t know what #dryherbvapes are we welcome any questions you might have on the topic.
Looking forward to seeing you in our little corner of kbin!
glad to find this - I’m there!
To make this thread more active for shy/new users I’ll add another favourite:
/m/GuildWars2 for us MMO nerds!
Edit: added a proper link.

toolsplease… god… do not keep calling us keebinetters
Wait…it’s pronounced “keebin”???
I pronounce it as Koh-bin because that’s how the letter K is pronounced in my language.
This is the way. However it’s pronounced in your language :)
I also pronounce it Kaybin. Seems to make more sense.
Username checks out, I was looking for pcmasterrace earlier, guess I found my new home afterall. Thanks!
Wanted to say thank you for the link, and also for the instructions there to tell me how to follow from kbin. Although I had to drop the initial ! to find a subscribe button. That is probably user error. fediverse is confusing af tbh
It takes awhile to get into it, but you’ll get there!
The biggest difference with syntax is that lemmy uses the !exclamation mark and kbin uses the @at sign to link communities.
Yes! This is exactly what I was hoping to find from this thread! Thanks!
Pretty much instantly subscribed to these, it was nice to find something familiar right off the bat when I registered here. Thanks!
I just created a sub for prog rock - hopefully I’m not stepping on anyone’s toes. @prog
EDIT: also made a couple more, while I was at it!
@speedrun
@browncoatsThanks for creating these.
Edit -found_ the edit button I can’t edit my previous post, but I’m an idiot, they work.combination of too early and no coffee…
How do I search kbin to find communities on Lemmy instances? For the life of me, all I can find are the local kbin magazines. They’re great, but I’m newer here and already started participating in communities on beehaw and other instances. I’d like to be able to keep up with those communities too.
Honestly, the redundancy is looking like it’s going to be a problem. There’s a technology community of some sort on every instance for example. solarpunk, futurology etc.
Anyway, if someone knows the magic syntax where I can find and subscribe to these communities from kbin, I’d really appreciate it!
Edit: I’m an idiot. It looks like all you have to do is search for the right term. IOW, like Technology. So it’s not likely that you’ll find the exact same community if you don’t know the correct community name or a partial name. There’s no browsing of a Lemmy instance from what I can tell. Plus, I was using mobile until today. I think on my phone, the location of the community was truncated, so I had no idea that I’d already found the other communities I was already taking part in.
@Futurology
@solarpunk
@art
A few I’ve found on my travels so far. slrpnk.net is definitely a good place to look for green/sustainable communities.The links don’t work, could you fix them please? I’d like to subscribeto those places!
