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.

Interested in finding more communities? Check out !newcommunities@lemmy.world to see people showing off their new communities.

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

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

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

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?

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

[–] TwoFace211@feddit.ch 2 points 2 years ago

Thank you. Need more of this. I've been searching for something like this for a while.

[–] Mat66@eslemmy.es 2 points 2 years ago

There is one in Spanish https://eslemmy.es/

Will come back here when/if the links are fixed.

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 2 years 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)

I posted an answer above to the same question.

In case you cannot see it:

You're on a kbin instance, and it is the main one so most of them are probably already there. If any of them is not, just click the search button at the top of the screen and enter the name you see above without the ! and without the space before the @. e.g. "technology@lemmy.world", your instance will then look it up and subscribe you to it if found.

It might take a while for threads to begin to appear if it wasn't already there though.
