I'd like to add some more related communities. Off the top of my head there are:

  • !goth@lemmy.ml
  • !industrialmusic@lemmy.ca

Are there any other related communities you'd like to link to?

I kind of started it, heh so I'm not opposed at all. The one thing that would be a nice to have is reciprocal linking as much as possible.

Here are some ideas!?!

  1. Strongly overlapping communities. (mostly low-volume/dormant.)
  • !nin@lemmy.world
  • !goth@lemmy.ml
  • !goth@lemmy.world
  • !industrialmusic@lemmy.ca
  • !industrial@lemmy.ml
  • !thecure@lemmy.world
  • !ask_a_goth@lemmy.world
  1. Communities with some overlap:
  • !cyberpunk@lemmy.zip
  • !vampires@lemmy.zip
  • !witchhouse@lemmy.dbzer0.com
  • !funeraldoom@lemmy.world
  1. Adjacent topics. (you probably won't want to add all of these, I'm just listing them in case you want to pick some of them out.)
  • !witchymemes@lemmy.world
  • !wicca@sopuli.xyz
  • !punk_rock@lemmy.ca
  • !punk@lemmy.world
  • !creepywikipedia@lemmy.world
  • !goblincore@lemmy.blahaj.zone
  • !edm@reddthat.com
  • !juggalos@lemmy.world
  • !the_addams_family@lemmy.world
  • !wednesday@lemmy.world
  • !metalmemes@lemmy.world
  • !metal@lemmy.world
  • !thrashmetal@lemmy.world
  • !satanism@lemmy.world
  • !helltraef@piefed.blahaj.zone
  • !demonolatry@lemmy.world
  • !witchcraft@lemmy.ml
  • !synthwave@lemmy.world

If I had to narrow it down to a specific set of all those suggested here, I'd say:

  • !postpunk@lemmy.world
  • !nin@lemmy.world
  • !funeraldoom@lemmy.world
  • !vampires@lemmy.zip
  • !cyberpunk@lemmy.zip
  • !witchymemes@lemmy.world
  • !bats@lemmy.world

bc idk if there's any benefit to linking to all the dead/dormant redundant communities... but it's not a big deal to me either way lel.

I'm going to unpin this post now. I've added those extra communities to the sidebar.

I don't see any extra communities in the sidebar, btw... just !postpunk@lemmy.world

Ugh okay, it looks like the edits I've made haven't synced.

It looks like updates to the community info aren't federating from changes I make on piefed.blahaj.zone.

I'll get in touch with this server's admin to see if she can help.

I've read that in some cases you need an account on the same instance as the community, to do certain mod actions. (i.e. you might need to make an account on lemmy.world and give it mod status).

Yeah the admins of my instance also advised that. Off to create another Lemmy account I guess...
