/r/AskHistorians had (ok, still has) such a standard. would be amazing to see more of that

So, what currency did the Merovingians use? Really I want to know. What coins did Charles Martel have in his purse?

Thank you for the answer! Is there a lemmy community to discuss these things? Om Reddit there are /r/Francish and other historical subreddits, but I’m new on lemmy and have not figured everything out yet I think.

Forgive me if I’m ignorant of something, but how would it be different from Wikipedia? Crowd-sourced information, cited and reviewed by peers? It has flaws, but no more than a Lemmy community would have.
Interestingly the Merovingian dynasty wiki page does have info on coinage but doesn’t mention the barter economy you describe so you might be able to contribute there if you’ve got the sources to back it up.

Science Fiction, amateur radio, electronics… and maybe some equivalent of the popular (popcorn) subreddits; damnthatsinteresting, wtf, showerthoughts, TIL.
Ultimately I don’t know yet. I’m hoping to see some new stuff that I didn’t think to look for. Any topic can be interesting if people are passionate and not toxic.
Agree with you on TIL and damnthatsinteresting i guess we’l see how things go forward from here
This. I participate in homebrewcomputers on reddit, would be nice to see something like that here, although the website is small enough that posting diy computer stuff in “Open Source” would probably be acceptable.
Thanks! Both of those give me “couldnt_find_community” 404 messages, but I’ve has some issues loading lemmy.ml, it might be my client.
Weird, these communities aren’t appearing when searching for them on beehaw. Yet they do in fact exist.
We need shitposting like okbuddyretard and copypasta and stuff.
There’s a shitposting community here but it isn’t very active
Something like /aww on reddit, I love animals.
Yeah Reddit was chock-full of cat subreddits, having those kinds of communities would greatly increase the appeal of Lemmy beyond tech, FOSS, politics and gaming.
Cooking (/eatcheapandhealthy is also great!), gardening, and movies.
fuckcars \ notjustbikes
tnx
fuckcars already exists technically in two forms !fuckcars!fuckcars@lemmy.ca fuck cars specifically and !citylife@beehaw.org for more general city talk
tnx
Reptiles and ebikes
Seconding ebikes! (Reptiles are chill but a reptile community would not be helpful for me personally)
Artistic ones, like music production, digital art, etc. maybe?
Once I wrap my head around how instances work, I’d love to get an instance up and running (or join an existing one)
A leathercraft community would be the bees knees. Good place to share tips/tricks, ongoing projects, answer questions or seek advice, that sort of thing.
I decided to be the change I wish to see in the world and created the !kittyterminal community, thinking I might make one for announcing new communities too

Paganism, heathenry, animism
THE_PACK and vexillologycirclejerk
I moreso want two communites to be active again. !gamedev@lemmy.ml and !pixelart@lemmy.ml
Something like ask mechanics and just rolled into the shop
