It can be Lemmy, Mastodon, Peertube, anything Fediverse-related!
I would say infosec.pub but it seems pretty popular.
If you’re using mastodon infosec.exchange is awesome as well. A significant chunk of the security folks I know ended up there.
I’ve never liked twitter/X or mastadon format content but having it all infosec might completely change my mind.
Yeah. I’m not a huge fan of the format but a lot of people seem to like it. Academia and infosec seem to do most of their posting there (twatter and clones) and I don’t see that pattern changing right away if at all.
Not sure if underrated, but i like https://metapixl.com/ and https://mathstodon.xyz
Do you want the furry porn ones or no
Hexbear is so awesome, I can barely stand being there for more than 30 seconds.
Don’t use sarcasm, it confuses me.
lol hexbears when called out on their excessive toxicity: here, have some more toxicity! that’ll show ‘em they’re wrong about us!
I have accounts on most instances but https://lemdro.id works really good for me. Admin are active and they haven’t defederated anyone yet.
https://startrek.website is pretty cool if you’re into Trek
It’s great, but hardly underrated! It’s been mentioned by the Lemmy devs and gets referenced all over Lemmy. Deservedly so.
You’re right, but startrek.website can never have enough love (unless it’s the hug of death lol)
RISA might be one of the best communities on lemmy
I’m not a trekkie, but I enjoy it.
Then again the opening theme of TNG was my lullaby as a kid so I was exposed through my parents.
I have heard it’s communicable.
https://oulipo.social/ is a custom Mastodon that forbids that fifth alphanum symbol in its toots. That is, using a,b,c,d is ok and any of f,g,h up to z is also ok and also digits and punctuation but that’s all.
This post would pass its validation.
You mean “e” is forbidden in toots?
Yup, the software is patched to not allow
e
in usernames or posts (apart from in URLs). Expressing yourself without using any word involving e is a fun challenge, and often you think you succeeded until the validation tells you off.That’s really interesting!
I like that bbc.social has a self-authenticating gTLD; a step up from a self-authenticating domain lol
Don’t you mean social.bbc?
Yes
Instances really aren’t going to be all that different if you’re federated with the greater fediverse
