Search Lemmyverse is good for finding communities.

I posted this on the other site but I thought I’d copy over here too, lots of good communities around to subscribe to if you want a more casual/fun frontpage that isn’t just tech news, elon musk, or politics.

note: all of these communities have posts. If they appear empty, it simply means nobody on the instance you use has visited them before (or you might have blocked them and forgot, I’ve done it before, lol)!


Conversation communities

These are places that are ‘chatty’, good if you want a lot of comments.

“ask” based
Casual chat / Misc

Hobbies, Creative, & Passions

Misc
Artwork
Cooking, food, drinks

Generally mostly nice pics of food:

Gardening / Plants
Keyboard enthusiasts
Knitting, Stitching, Crocheting, etc
Reading & Writing
Sport

Honestly there are so many sport communities around - if you search Lemmyverse for popular sports, you will almost certainly find more.


Nice/Interesting/Funny pictures

Animals

Literally just pictures of cute animals.

Comics
Flags
Maps
Memes

Meme communities in general can overload your feed, so keep that in mind.

Photography

Games

Board Games / Table top games

The ttrpg.network instance has a lot of communities based around table top gaming & RPGs.

note: the battlemaps communities seem to mostly cross-post between eachother at the moment.

Video Games

Knowledge (e.g history, science)


Space


TV (television), movies, film


Music

Lots of music communities on Lemmy. Search Lemmyverse for genres of interest for more, this definitely isn’t exhaustive.

Note that music communities generally have low comment counts, from my experience.

There’s also:

    Really useful have this here, because:

    • it’s really easy to join.
    • more than Reddit post that has wrong links to instances.

    I’ve arrived this week to Lemmy, right now on Voyager app (Android), two things that are harder than Reddit:

    • confusing/harder to join communities (this post helps).
    • you need a browser and copy paste to add communities to your instance. Maybe apps can help to do it frictionless.
    • multireddits (I missed this).
