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!

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

[–] XtendedImpact@reddthat.com 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

When you open communities you can use the three dot menu in the top right to subscribe to them

What about drug communities. I miss looking at a bunch of posts made by drug users

[–] calhoon2005@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Pretty sure there's a trees community here somewhere.

[–] AshTheGoblin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Anyone?

[–] freamon@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago

I can't claim to understand this tech yet, but I feel like so many of these communities being on the same instance isn't the way it's supposed to be.

[–] patchw3rk@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I would add the following:

!newcommunities @lemmy.world
!truegaming @kbin.social
!fediverse @kbin.social
!BestOf @kbin.social
!askkbin @kbin.social
!RedditMigration @kbin.social

You can click on the star button to save it.

[–] simple@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They're from Kbin, there is no save on that website.

[–] nieceandtows@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

huh, didn't know that

[–] CashmereWitch@vlemmy.net 1 points 2 years ago

This is great! Thank you! I’ve been struggling with finding new communities, so this is super helpful.

[–] nanometer@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Great list, thanks

[–] DonjonMaester@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks for this!

[–] Bassiette@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

PS5 community is dead any alternatives??

[–] refugee_pirate@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Really useful. Thanks.

[–] abnormal_258@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

thx for the list

[–] avds@social.fossware.space 1 points 2 years ago

Nice!

[–] levetamae@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can I save or bookmark this?

[–] talos@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

There is a save button, looks like a star (on the desktop Lemmy).

I still don't understand how to subscribe to groups that aren't on my instance. I sometimes was able to get it to work on my PC but it's impossible on mobile. This platform needs a lot of work.

[–] FinalBoy1975@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You aren't alone. I'm still trying to figure it out, too. First step was to settle on my go-to instance, which just today I've decided will be kbin.

[–] Azzu@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

It seems to be harder to subscribe to Lemmy communities from kbin.

Why the duplicate communities? My understanding was it shouldn't matter where I subscribe to "games" the posts should be the same.

Which is stupid imho. I don't want to sub to 10 different /c/movies or even 2 different /c/nba. Mark my words you're going to see a consolidation here if this takes off and you're going to lose the federation appeal that people want (I couldn't care less just want a Reddit alternative). Already I've unsubbed from communities to simply sub to the biggest one.

Let's also ignore there's an open issue from 2 years ago because no one apparently thought or cared of the scenario that some of us actually like a unified identity online and yet you can't port your account across the fediverse.

If it is so important for you to be so much outraged, I guess it is time for you to either learn to code and open a PR, or to pay someone to do it for you!

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca -1 points 2 years ago

I know how to code don't have the time. It's potential I may look into it. Doesn't change the fact that it's two glaring issues that weren't thought through and there's many more that have been brought up.

[–] yote_zip@pawb.social 1 points 2 years ago

The posts are different on each server. They are effectively separate communities with separate names, counting the server as part of its name.

[–] Tilted@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

I find it helps to think the name of a community includes the originating server name
