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 am using “connect for lemmy” app. Can someone please explain how to join communities? Just signed up and very confused.

      Connect is suuuuuper unstable for me at the moment, but I find it way easier to navigate than Jerboa. As someone said, you can use the three dots at the top right to subscribe.

      Instances can be super confusing, but as Lemmy grows, it’ll be simpler to figure things out 😊. Don’t worry, it’s a learning curve for all of us!

        Could that be due to your instance and not the app? Connect has been working well for me with only a few random errors that don’t affect much. Yesterday it wasn’t loading my lemmy.world account because the instance servers were struggling.

        Definitely a learning curve. At least sort of figured out finally how to join communities. What’s sort of confusing for me now is communities with same names but different instances (is that the right word?). Then I have check back to see whether I have joined it or is it a different one. This part is super confusing for me at present because I came across many such instances.
