Visit each instance and look at their Local communities, e.g.
Thanks, I guess it's a lot of legwork on the individual
I find it fun, but If you just want short summaries you can look here: https://join-lemmy.org/instances
Yes it is, and it doesn't stop at choosing an instance - for a new user to find and add communities, and block people, and learn how things work like Hexbear users aren't serious and instead just troll everywhere, it's all a lot. Fortunately PieFed helps a new user a ton with the sign-up wizard and making community discovery trivial with the categories of communities feature.
And for your older Lemmy account, it's really nice that you can simply Export your community subscriptions and block lists to a JSON file and then Import those into the new instance, whichever one you pick.
A process which may need to be multiple times - e.g. when kbin.social went down I moved to StarTrek.website, but the delays of over a minute and constant failure to do things like vote or reply to comments frustrated me so much that I moved to discuss.online. And then the lack of ability to block users from lemmy.ml enticed me to check out PieFed.social. I'm really happy with PieFed now, but I also do really strongly recommend discuss.online as well. But StarTrek.website, at least at the time, not so much - it seems to have vastly improved since though? Hence I mention it here not to say to avoid that one, these days, but rather to give an example of how you may need to hop around over and over again to find a good one, or else stay current with recommendations from people, like discuss.online I still log onto almost daily to check up on things.
Reddit takes care of its users, as they steal data and sell the userbase to advertisers. On the Threadiverse we have to be our own advocates, which requires greater amounts of effort.
