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.
- cdda.social, for the survival horror roguelike Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead
- bookwormstory.social, for the anime/manga/LN Ascendance of a Bookworm
- lemmy.dbzer0.com, not strictly topic focused, but an instance run by the former head mod of r/piracy, so focused on their interests

Thanks much. Their subreddit only references their Discord. Wasn’t aware that they had something up on the Threadiverse,
Also just found mtgzone.com, for the collectible card game Magic: The Gathering
midwest.social is a Lemmy instance for us Midwesterners. It’s pretty chill, has several regional communities, and also somehow became Lemmy’s LOTR meme hub.
Now that I’m thinking about it, I keep noticing these: ani.social, “A Social Hub for Anime Fans”.
Is there a community for posting links to topic-focused instances? If not, I may start one.

Do you mean like a more focused version of the fediverse community, but for highlighting/sharing links to topic-focused instances? That may be kind of interesting as another form of the newcommunities/findacommunity type of communities, just for entire instances.
Yeah, basically like newcommunities/communitydiscoveries. I figure since new instances are less common, it would be feasible to maintain a master list there. Whereas newcommunities gets several posts per day.
I went ahead and created it: https://kbin.social/m/specialized_instances
