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.

    This was helpful, and I understand it now, thanks! It’s just SO clunky though to have to use a different URL to get to the same place depending on what instance you’re a member of. I don’t understand what the benefit of all this added complication is. I feel like good programming should make it so that when I type [email protected], whatever instance I’m in should just automatically link me to their version of the URL. Like kbin should know that that needs to go to kbin.social/m/[email protected] without me having to change anything.

    And in the meantime… we’re going to have different communities for each instance because of how confusing this all is. Who decided that [email protected] was going to be the default memes community? Won’t there be other communities that pop up at [email protected] and [email protected] etc? It seems like chaos to me. How do I know which one is the right one?
