I've been lurking for over a year and I finally made an account ๐ŸŽ‰

Now that I can customize the communities I see I'm wondering, what communities are you part of/do you recommend?

Instead of joining communities, I browse all and block communities I don't like. That way I am always aware of new or newly federated communities.

[-] EwonRael@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

good idea! I've already started blocking the german meme communities because I don't speak german

Lemmy has a languages setting that might be helpful here, but I never bothered to check what it actually does. Er, sorry. Just, it could be worth looking into.

Blocking certain country focused instances can help, too.

[-] Servais@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 10 months ago

By default you see everything.

If you start to select languages (Ctrl+Click on desktop, not sure about mobile), you won't see non-selected languages anymore.

Be careful to keep Undetermined as most of the content isn't tagged.

[-] Frog@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah...

I changed the language and I thought I was shadow banned for a couple of weeks...

Not intuitive at all.

[-] Servais@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 10 months ago

Indeed, definitely some improvement to be made there

[-] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 months ago

I'm blocking you because it's annoying when people censor words...like PORN

Welcome!

On my side

A bit more specific

There is a weekly thread on !newcommunities@lemmy.world that you can have a look at for some ideas.

You can also use https://lemmyverse.net/communities for suggestions, and set up your home instance using the house button so that they open there directly.

[-] EwonRael@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

amazing! thank you so much!

[-] Servais@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 10 months ago

You are welcome!

Just found another one I forgot: !gardening@lemmy.world

[-] recklessengagement@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Honestly, none, I just sorta watch Hot and let whatever algorithm guide posts toward my feed

[-] plactagonic@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 months ago

For big communities there is no need, they will surface to all.

If you have some interests with specific community on lemmy give it a follow. There are lot of them with little traffic ~1 post/week, like !homebrewing@sopuli.xyz it is not dead just fewer posts compared to reddit.

You probably mentioned me by mistake and meant: !diy@sh.itjust.works ?
Have a nice one

[-] Peter1986C@lemmings.world 1 points 10 months ago

Something went wrong there indeed. But I am not even sure how a mention of you got in there?

[-] InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

Probably aome autocomplete thing in the text editor, I dont know.
Anyway, hi.
