As Lemmy starts maturing, there starts being so many communities out there that it's pretty hard to keep track. I've been browsing for about a month now, here's a list of popular communities I've subscribed to that others would find interesting!

Not many of these were noticeable while browsing communities so you may have missed some of these. I've roughly ranked these based on which I'd spend the most time on in each category.

Also note that I would add Kbin communities as well, but federation between Lemmy and Kbin is still not working well, so right now this post is for Lemmy communities only!

General Discussion

Humor & Memes

Technology

Pictures & Videos

Movies & TV

Video Games

And that's it. Whew. Obviously I might have missed some, but these are the most interesting communities for me.

Edit: Removed spaces from links, added xbox to games section

Edit 2: android community moved to android@lemdro.id, updated link

This is great! Thank you! I’ve been struggling with finding new communities, so this is super helpful.

I've been sitting at "pending" for a couple days on some of them. Maybe there's just one or two mods that approve adds a couple times a week?

What about drug communities. I miss looking at a bunch of posts made by drug users

I still don't understand how to subscribe to groups that aren't on my instance. I sometimes was able to get it to work on my PC but it's impossible on mobile. This platform needs a lot of work.

[-] ZickZack@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I can just go to the search tab and look for the magazine (e.g. Search for retro gaming) and find an the other instances.
I think s fair number of people forget to switch the search to magazines before looking (or are actually subscribing to other instances but don't notice it)

[-] FinalBoy1975@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

You aren't alone. I'm still trying to figure it out, too. First step was to settle on my go-to instance, which just today I've decided will be kbin.

[-] Azzu@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

It seems to be harder to subscribe to Lemmy communities from kbin.

[-] Kinolee@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I picked kbin too. It seems like the most complete platform, and is more easy to navigate than lemmy... but that's kind of a low bar. I'm still very lost.
