MODERATORS
 

Ive been on reddit for more than a decade. Kinda bittersweet, but its not the first time I have moved on from an internet site. I just cant support reddit and sucking up all my posts for AI purposes. Feels terrible and spammy. Ive been a reddit premium holder for many many years.

Anyways, what communities do you recommend?

You could look for foreign communities who speak different languages and practice speaking to them through Lemmy if you wanted to.

For the longest time, I’ve pursued languages and was just posting on foreign-language communities because I like to learn them and I seek contact with foreigners just to practice my languages.

Mostly I posted in Spanish and German having learned some of those languages growing up and more recently when I took up learning on Busuu.

Where I live, Spanish is a more common foreign language because of our Hispanic population and my family too. I also used a DNA kit that showed me what heritage I had (Mostly English and German but I inherited some Mexican from my mother’s great grandmother from when I was little. So that’s also why I pursue languages.

I also pursue them as sort of a hobby of mine.

This is just an idea I had in mind from my recent activity here on Lemmy. I’m actually on lemmus.org and moved from lemm.ee but I seek contact with some foreigners for my languages.

Maybe join lemm.ee or lemmus.org if not that?
