Can’t find much on here, only found some regional UK and Canada/US stuff but that’s about it, nothing general or international or anything. Where should I be looking if Lemmy doesn’t have anything?

Looking for general stuff, just something to help me figure things out as I’m not an expert or anything, not familiar with these things at all.

    Looking for general stuff, just something to help me figure things out as I’m not an expert or anything, not familiar with these things at all.

    It’s a bit hard to recommend anything as professional and general diametrically oppose each other.

    Wanting professional advice usually requires specialization and looking for specific industries/fields of study, whereas generalization moves towards typically much broader categories.


    Anyways what kinds of topics or things are you looking for? Maybe I can help

      That sucks a bit I won’t lie, no idea how somebody like me is supposed to already know exactly what they need, from who, how, where, etc. but I guess I’m in the minority here haha, no worries. Also thx!

      Just anything that can act as a hub/referral place of sorts to direct me to where is most appropriate for my needs or for whatever I need to consult with an expert on; legal, financial, employment/work, immigration, social, mental, safety, etc.

          Thx for this!

          Though sadly most of the ones you’ve listed seem dead, very small, or inactive. I’m guessing there’s still not much on here yet, so do you know of anything outside of Lemmy? I’ve been trying to search but can’t find anything besides strictly regional stuff.

            no worries!

            Unfortunately so.
            However I’d still encourage you to make a post on those communities (esp the ones on our Canadian🍁 ones hehe :3) cause you never know who might be willing to help till you reach out!~🤗

            so do you know of anything outside of Lemmy? I’ve been trying to search but can’t find anything besides strictly regional stuff.

            Most of what I know is related to Canada and US due to my interest and field in the tech industry, so my knowledge in general and international legal/financial resources is limited to those regions with a few exceptions like South Korea due to my heritage.

            Since our PieFed has Topics and Flairs I’d imagine that we’ll have a higher likelihood of finding general/international communities here especially as PieFed matures in addition to when more users migrate over and create those Tops.


            If you’d like however feel free to send me a DM at @recursive_recursion:matrix.org and I’ll research resources for a couple regions of your choice for free, and you can decide to buy me a coffee if you like it.🌻
