I made a new community today !stupid_questions@lemmings.world. It is a simple community, appreciating absurd questions (not in my community, but the recently asked question 100 men vs gorrila also fits in it). Due to nature of community, it can actually be more interlinked with other communities, for example the gorilla question would be also fit in a biomechanics community ( i do not think we have one yet) but maybe biomechanics community does not have any (or many) subscribers, then stupid_questions folk can also join them. This somewhat happened (to soon to say much about this, all hypothesising) with first post, about brand new sentences, which is now cross posted to linguistics community. I think this can plug in a “humor” “hole” for many communities. General asking communities definitely do appreciatie humor, but may not be “nerdy” enough (i do not like using this word, especially on lemmy, where i could practically categorise everyone using lemmy to be a nerd, if you have a better one please do tell) to willingly subscribe to a “absurdism” community. My guess would be that people who appreciate absurd stuff, might have a stronger correlation with those who are interested in academicc disciplines. Maybe it is a wrong hunch, but my time on internet for however long i have been on it suggests that.
