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.

    I 100% agree. I should just be able to click a link to go to a community, and then there should be a simple way to subscribe when I get there. Like… that functionality may not be “basic” to program, but it is a basic necessity for ease of use and growth…

      Fyi this is exactly how it works on Lemmy’s side, and tbh it’s usually how links work when they get pulled through to Kbin too, but something about this post has given Kbin an issue and it’s stripped out the clickable links which is why it’s super confusing for you lot over there!

      I’m on kbin.

      What happens if I just type

      [email protected]

      It gives a 404

      How about if I change the ! to a @

      @NoStupidQuestions

      This one works, but you don’t see from the link text that it’s a link to Lemmy’s community instead of kbin’s magazine.

      (I wrote the whole address but it gets converted to the link you see above,which works but you have to scroll ⅔ of the way down to find subscribe.)

      What if I just write @NoStupidQuestions ?

      This one looks the same, but it links to kbin’s magazine of the same name but different content. A bit confusing.

      …

      What if I create a URL using the kbin link thing above the text box

      Link

      This seems to work. Edit: no it doesn’t. I just linked back to this post somehow. Try again with a different notation…

      Link

      Nope.

      Now to try this comment on Lemmy…

      Can’t find this post on Lemmy - had to get there via https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]

      Lemmy is having a lie down at this time.
