I'm here from reddit, and thank you for these recommendations. Time for my neuroplasticity to kick in so I can learn how all this works.

Just wanted to say, thanks for hosting this instance! I'm a reddit refuge and this Lemmy instance has been really straightforward on how to get started.

Join us for all your sports talk over at https://fanaticus.social! We've got communities for all the major sports and their teams.

I also spent the past week forking the popular game day bot, redball, in order to bring game bots to lemmy! There are still a couple of kinks I'm working out but I've begun rolling them out to the teams' communities, starting with the baseball communities.

Check out:

• !baseball@fanaticus.social
• !cfb@fanaticus.social
• !nfl@fanaticus.social
• !nba@fanaticus.social
• !hockey@fanaticus.social
• !fantasyfootball@fanaticus.social
• !fantasy_baseball@fanaticus.social
• !fantasyhockey@fanaticus.social

And all the teams-specific communities!

Can somebody recommend me a community for people with cPTSD or abusive parents?

It pulls in posts from the reddit subs.

I appreciate you taking the time to share! I’ve only messed with Mastodon briefly and the fediverse is a little challenging to navigate at first (in my opinion).

I’ve been a lurker on the subreddit for ages and when I saw your post I decided it was time to check Lemmy out. Thanks for taking the time to set up an instance to keeps the community alive as Reddit implodes. Hopefully this works out or at least can act as a temporary home until we can figure out what is next.

How can I create some for lemmy.one?

Memmy for iOS makes it super easy to find and join communities. Highly recommended.

Hi! Does anyone know any good communities about the following topics:

-longboarding

-possum pictures and/or possum memes

I was going down the universal search tool list, subscribing to the communities that I was interested in, and I ran into an issue trying to sub to some of the communities. Thankfully I was able to quickly find the answer - anything that is on the block list under https://lemmy.one/instances you are not able to subscribe to from this instance.

Any community similar to r/PublicFreakout?

Theres some sciencey ones on Mander.xyz :

!chemistry@mander.xyz

!physics@mander.xyz

!biology@mander.xyz

Mander has a list that is really long of many different disiplines so I just grabbed the ones that I thought would of intrest

A version of r/nostupidquestions: !nostupidquestions@mander.xyz

Does anyone know of any communities for pigeons or capybaras (or tbh any other weird-but-cute critters)?

Edit: adding some as I find them:

• https://lemmy.world/c/opossums
• https://possumpat.io/c/possums

Thanks you, subbed to a lot of them. The more content and more posts, the better. :)

Is there a community for news/world news? I always found interesting news in Reddit and liked seeing discussions about it.

!trendingcommunities@feddit.nl is my goto for discovery, for anybody else who might be struggling to find communities

!genderqueer@lemmy.one

We're open for all!~

!gyrogaming@lemmy.world for fans of gyro (motion aiming) in video games

!steaminput@lemmy.world for Steam Input which is a controller remapper available in Steam.

I think the reddit hug of love is affecting things today on the 12th.

Just a general question, on a mobile device is using your browser or an app the better experience? And if using an app is Jaebra the one most people use?

Hello, still learning how this all works. I know I'm in the minority here, but has anyone come across any communities on lemmy that deal with karate, aikido, taiji chuan, brazillian jiu jitsu, or martial arts in general?

I think I found some communities to replace the programming subreddits I belonged to thanks to the suggestions here. Still looking for one to replace r/sysadmin.

Personally, I am looking to make a permanent move off of reddit and I appreciate the time and effort this took to get this instance into place and helping people figure out how to use this, Thank you.
