Some people have been asking which communities they should join first, so I posted some remote communities you can subscribe to on the sidebar on the homepage :)

Find another cool community? Leave a comment :)
There’s also this universal community search tool you can try using. If you find a community, just copy its URL and paste it in /search to subscribe to it here. This just goes to show that while there might not be many local communities here on lemmy.one yet, the beauty of the fediverse means that doesn’t matter!
I’m here from reddit, and thank you for these recommendations. Time for my neuroplasticity to kick in so I can learn how all this works.
Also here from Reddit. Lemmy actually feels like how Reddit *used *to feel in its early years, i.e. fresh community with fresh ideas. Love it!
Avoid beehaw
What don’t you like about it? I find Beehaw pretty great. The only thing I could think of is that they’ve defederated some of the larger instances, but it’s understandable given their content philosophy and the current state of moderation tools on Lemmy (really terrible).
Why?
They’ve defederated over 400 instances including lemmy.world, they want centralization
Good to know, thanks.
Just wanted to say, thanks for hosting this instance! I’m a reddit refuge and this Lemmy instance has been really straightforward on how to get started.

Ya’ll gonna have to nerd out with me now. 😎
Memmy for iOS makes it super easy to find and join communities. Highly recommended.
[email protected] is my goto for discovery, for anybody else who might be struggling to find communities
I was going down the universal search tool list, subscribing to the communities that I was interested in, and I ran into an issue trying to sub to some of the communities. Thankfully I was able to quickly find the answer - anything that is on the block list under https://lemmy.one/instances you are not able to subscribe to from this instance.
Glad to see that Lemmygrad is on the blocklist.
How can I create some for lemmy.one?
We’re open for all!~
Does anyone know of any communities for pigeons or capybaras (or tbh any other weird-but-cute critters)?
Edit: adding some as I find them:
Hi! Does anyone know any good communities about the following topics:
-longboarding
-possum pictures and/or possum memes
Is there a community for users of FreeDOS?
Anyone aware of an arts/culture community that’s not about posting your own work but more about cool exhibitions and performances across the art world?
I think the reddit hug of love is affecting things today on the 12th.
Just a general question, on a mobile device is using your browser or an app the better experience? And if using an app is Jaebra the one most people use?
I prefer the browser to apps personally, this is actually one of the main reasons I like Lemmy over Reddit and it’s unusable mobile view. You’ll find plenty of mobile app users here too and it sounds like it works fine, I’ll just caution that some (all?) of them sound like they’re feature-incomplete, so if you ever think something is missing from Lemmy, double-check on the website first, because it might just not be added to the app yet.
Thanks you, subbed to a lot of them. The more content and more posts, the better. :)
