Hi. I’m new here after becoming completely frustrated with Reddit.
I’m looking to share artwork for stickers and flyers of a political nature, and would like to find find good communities for that.
My questions are; are there more communities than the ones listed in the “Communities” tab/link at the top of the page and is there a community devoted to noob questions?
You must log in or register to comment.
I’m happy to field your questions at !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca
For not specifically newbie questions but stuff you might feel silly asking on AskLemmy, you can go to !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
For where to share your art: !artshare@lemmy.world
For where to share your political flyers: !politicalmemes@lemmy.world or !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca if they are anything like a meme. !usa@midwest.social is more loose in types of content allowed so your political art (if US related) might be able to be posted there.
The default view for communities is Local, which will only show communities on your instance. Given you’re on lemmy.world, that’s a considerable number, but if you click ‘All’ at the top of the communities page, you’ll also see communities outside of your instance (but again only ones that your instance knows about, which amounts to any that someone from your instance has subscribed to). Again, you’re on LW, so this is a significant percentage.
If this is a niche that doesn’t exist currently (or you can’t find a place for it), you could create such a community.
This is a good list of communities.
Are you looking to share your own artwork? Then !artshare@lemmy.world seems like a good option. Otherwise I’m not really sure. You could always start your own community to post in.
That’s a great list! If you see anyone asking for anything women related please mention !WomensStuff@lazysoci.al we just opened a few days ago
Maybe !artshare@lemmy.world ?
Pixelfed might be more up your alley as it’s a more insta like experience…but there are many pictures and political meme communities out this way.
Other commenters have given great info so far. I’ll tack on that the community discovery within the Lemmy web UI is terrible. If you want to dig for communities other than gets suggested here, the Communities tab on Lemmy Explorer is much better.
Thanks. This is really helpful.
“Sharing artwork” or “offering your stickers for sale?” The former is fine, but the latter is likely to get you banned for spamming.
