Greetings,

I subscribe to the .....sublemmies (is there a better tern for this?) That are the main ones for subjects that interest me: Linux, privacy, .....and others, I'm sure. But they're very "high-level." How do I find the "deep cuts?"

Just set your feed to all/new and scroll for a bit, you see all sorts of stufd

[-] hesh@quokk.au 1 points 1 month ago

This but I'd go with one of the all/top sorts instead of all/new if you're just searching for interesting communities. Personally I just use 'all' pretty much all the time

[-] f314@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

“Weighted” is also a very nice sort, that tends to lift up smaller comms.

[-] f314@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

The common term is “communities” or “comms”, I think.

I would try to look for servers dedicated to the subject you’re interested in and see what communities they have. Keep in mind that there are much fewer users on Lemmy than Reddit, so there might not be a specialized community for a given subject. And if there is, it might be very small/inactive.

Ah thanks.

And, yeah, thank you. I'm hopeful a smaller user base will be a feature, not a bug.

[-] Plum@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Sometimes you have to grow your own community... a smaller user base requires much more individual participation.

Be persistent ♡

A few communities that might be helpful:

!newcommunities@lemmy.world - New Communities - A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

!communitypromo@lemmy.ca - Community Promo - Promote your favourite communities and ask about communities that you are looking for!

!trendingcommunities@lemmy.cafe - Trending Communities - Daily post by a bot highlighting trending communities.

!lemmydirectory@lemmy.dbzer0.com - Lemmy Directory - This community has bots making regular posts showcasing best content from communities in given categories to help promote them.

!findacommunity@lemmy.ml - Find a Community - A community to find other communities in any of the Lemmy instances.

(These were copied from a post I made in !Lemmy411@lemmy.ca a while back to get it up to date after the original mod disappeared).

the sublemmies seems very ghost towny, compard to reddits, "sub-subreddits"

[-] solrize@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Look at the "all" feed once in a while.

Try asking in a post on Asklemmy.

EDIT: Now that I'm reading it, I realize there are way too many ways to hear this. I meant it as a joke answer to the question suggesting that they've already done what they needed to do, and now I'm sure it's even more hilarious now that I explained it. Oh well.

Do any Lemmy uis have a random feature?
