Currently I’m more aware of general interest instances for both Lemmy & Kbin, and a few more focused ones (e.g. Mander.xyz/slrpnk.net/startrek.website), so I’m curious what others there might be.
At the same time, would you be interested in more narrowly focused instances that aren’t tech-oriented, and if so, concerning what subjects?
Also as to why you might want those, it’s mainly for a more focused local feed related to communities surrounding the primary subject you joined for, meanwhile your subscribed/all feeds would remain more general. An example might be you join a country/region-oriented instance where the local communities may literally be based around local communities in your area as well as regional/national & sub-regional/national news or the like.
No idea if lemmy.ca is organized like that in any way btw, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there are some Canadian-themed local communities there. Anyway, I’m getting sidetracked, but see first couple sentences for the main question & topic.

edit: I’ve made lots of little corrections here and there, added links and all that. Must be like version 20 by now.
The Denmark one is feddit.dk 😌
Thanks. Fixed it. I keep wondering why do I always type too fast…
Don’t worry. As Danes we are always mistaken for Germans abroad, so we are used to it
Preeeeety sure the correct one for Germany is feddit.de
We have two!
Good catch! Fixed the typo.
Spain/spanish https://eslemmy.es/
I’d like to add no.lastname.nz to the list, a New Zealand based instance with an outdoors/environmental slant. I’m working with Dave from lemmy.nz to not duplicate communities
Feddit.nu for Sweden as well.
https://ttrpg.network/ for all things TTRPG!
Lemmy.film
Yea … this one for me too … was very pleasantly surprised to see that instance. A link for those curious: https://lemmy.film/?dataType=Post&listingType=Local&page=1&sort=Active
shameless self-plug but i host an instance for the life is strange fandom (pricefield.org)
i’ve also seen a game preservation instance at preserve.games
@lemmynsfw.com is cool
Self plug: Mental health instance – members must be verified to be employed in mental health professions. lem.clinicians-exchange.org .
Theres wayfarershaven.eu for travel-related and niche hobbyist topics like knitting, sewing, and fountain pens
I joined the MTGzone.com instance because I used to use Reddit for MTG news 80% of the time anyway, andnnow I have a nice local feed for magic the gathering stuff and a federated feed for everything else. It’s great!
I’ve been thinking of starting a theatre-focused kbin instance, but realistically not until the platform has matured, as my sysadmin days are well, well, well behind me. In the meantime I’ve started a Musicals magazine on kbin.social.
https://poptalk.scrubbles.tech/ to discuss pop music. Nice community
http://dormi.zone is focused mainly on the games Warframe and Soulframe.
This might help: http://lemmyverse.net
