A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.


6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world


7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.


8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.


Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Inspired by the opposite question posted recently, what YouTube creators have you watched for a long time and still find worth returning to? Alternatively, what are some new high quality channels you have been enjoying?

In no particular order:

  • The Rest Is Science (podcast)
  • Technology Connections/Connextras
  • Jeff Geerling / Level 2 Jeff -- Edit: see replies below
  • Techmoan
  • Gamers Nexus / GNCA
  • LGR
  • Switch and Click
  • The Linux Experiment
  • Tasting History with Max Miller
  • Ben Eater (breadboard computers)
  • Stuff Made Here (engineering)
  • Up and Atom (science)
  • Simon d'Entremont (photography)
  • Words Unravelled and Rob's Words (English language)
  • Kurzgesagt -- Edit: see replies below
  • Veritasium -- Edit: see replies below
  • Tom Scott (the returned)
  • Asianometry (tech history)
  • Clabretro (retro networking and server hardware)

Edit: A few bonus channels that may be of interest but didn't all fit the criteria for me:

  • Action Retro - doing silly stuff with old computers - more recent discovery for me
  • Dr Geoff Lindsey - Linguistics - I only watch occasionally - can be a bit heavy on the linguistic science for an amateur like me.
  • Lftkryo - Linus Åkesson - an absolute wizard coding on the C64
  • RetroBytes - computer history. Most of his content is mainly him just talking, so I can just listen while I'm doing something else
  • Tech Tangents - more of a recently discovered channel for me. Vintage hardware. Underrated channel.
  • Serial Port and Parallel port - vintage computers and networking. Brings back memories from my days working for an ISP.
  • Honorary mention to Veronica Explains. She keeps things pretty basic so I don't get a lot out of her videos, but I like her stance on open source and not selling out. She posts everything on Peertube as well.

Veritasium is majority owned by private equity now, fyi. I just found out myself the other day.

So is Kurzgesagt. Can't bring myself to watch PE channels. But the rest of this list is fire, happy to see Asianometry and Words Unravelled get shout outs
