One of the only thing I miss about Reddit was their very active Guitar subs. So I Googled Lemmy Guitar to search for some active forums, and was disappointed that all I got were Lemmy Motorhead links.
If anybody knows any active guitar forums on Lemmy, please let me know. The only ones I found are extremely quiet, with days, weeks, or even months between posts. I can’t be the only guitarist on Lemmy, so where are they all hanging out?
That doesn’t help with all the different Lemmy instances, but searching on a Lemmy instance does… Well, the search function is janky so it works kinda, but it searches a lot of Lemmy instances alright!

!guitarporn@sfw.community exists, though it’s not exactly bursting with activity (yet). I’ve tried to put some posts on it recently.
That’s my experience trying to find any specific subject matter on lemmy, google tries to relate it to Motorhead.
are you guys just not aware you can filter by site?

It should work fine. Filtering by one instance will show all Lemmy content. You can use a script to ensure you always land back on your instance.
I was actually completely unaware of that. Thanks!
I’ve had middling results using “Lemmy Fediverse” in search strings instead of just “Lemmy”. You still get a lot of Motorhead though.
just filter by your instance, e.g google
