What are your favorite lemmy communities?

Does anyone know of communities where the posts are many paragraphs of OC selftext with the comments discussing it? I don't really care what the content is, but that's for format I'm looking for. So far it's just links, cat pics, and memes...

Shameless plug for my community !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works which I think is quite neat. Best gaming community imo

Almost any community named "cat" or "dog". People should post more pictures of their happy non-human family.

Please. I need a way to break up the solid pages of awful global news in my feed, and I haven't got any of my own to hug.

edited to add: here's a list of cat communities , if there are other lists for other animals let me know.

!traditional_art@lemmy.world

!sideoftheroad@possumpat.io

!imaginarystarships@lemmy.world helps to feed my starship addiction.

Idiotaincars

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml 😉 and 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone

As a cross stitcher - !lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works

But if a plug but !astrophotography@lemmy.world if you like space pics taken by amateurs

!internetisbeautiful@feddit.de for interesting and fun sites folks have come across.

I'm a fellow Malaysian, so this one's country-specific: !cafe@monyet.cc. A chill and free-for-all chat, and nice to get a little hit of the Malaysian vibe while living away from home.

Obviously biased, but c/breadtube for is my go to for left video content and discussion.

• BreadTube
• !BreadTube@lemmy.world
• https://lemmy.world/c/breadtube

!connectasong@lemmy.world is pretty fun.

!league@lemmy.ml just ain't there yet.

Popheads circle jerk, where it's just my soapbox of shitty memes! 😍
