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!

And that's it. Whew. Obviously I might have missed some, but these are the most interesting communities for me.

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.

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

[–] r00ty@kbin.life 1 points 2 years ago

I posted an answer above to the same question.

In case you cannot see it:

You're on a kbin instance, and it is the main one so most of them are probably already there. If any of them is not, just click the search button at the top of the screen and enter the name you see above without the ! and without the space before the @. e.g. "technology@lemmy.world", your instance will then look it up and subscribe you to it if found.

It might take a while for threads to begin to appear if it wasn't already there though.

And the communities in the list aren’t clickable. Pretty low hanging fruit for reducing friction. (Like, the platform should automatically link them, not that OP should have.)

[–] Azzu@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

The communities in the list are all clickable from Lemmy. You're just from kbin and that site doesn't have that.

What do you mean? Simply open the community and subscribe?

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

The user you're responding to is on Kbin, which is stripping the links out of this post for some reason. They literally can't click through, that's why people are confused.

Really useful. Thanks.

Hell yeah man, thank you!

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