I'm currently on the pawb.social instance, and already found some neat communities, still looking for recommendations however

sub rehab shows you where reddit refugees have moved. You can filter down to just lemmy and kbin communities.

A fantastic record of recommendation, wish I had found that sooner.

[-] NicoCharrua@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Sub.rehab stopped letting people add new communities. What's up with that?

[-] elbarto777@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

They need to exclude leading and trailing spaces from their search. I was getting 0 results for a very popular subreddit and got me confused.

Just wanted to say that what instance you are in, nearly does not matter in fedeverse. Unless that instance with users becomes defederated, you can access all other communities.

To add to this, most of how your home instance will matter to you is that's the instance you can create communities on. You can read the entire* fediverse from any instance.

*defederation notwithstanding.

Well with defederation, it actually does matter. For the "I can choose what I can see myself" crowd, lemm.ee is a good bet. If you don't want to bother, lemmy.world is whered I go.

I am on kbin.social, and in terms of seeing and posting, I see no problem.

Browsing Lemmy.world on All is enough for me to never want to go back to reddit. I see plenty of new community stuff pop up on the sorting by hot. You may feel like lemmy content isn't refreshed as often as reddit, but you get used to it and I think it's healthier overall

[-] ridethisbike@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You can sort by Top 6hr as well and it gives a nice refresh as the day moves on

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

The best place to get started is !casualconversation@lemmy.world, it's like the Lemmy hangout room.

[-] gabe@literature.cafe 15 points 1 year ago

https://lemmyverse.net is a good place to find more communities as well as the new communities community as mentioned. I'll also add !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl is good as well :)

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Welcome! I'd recommend subscribing to !communitypromo@lemmy.ca, to see recommendations over time.

We also have a guide for finding new communities here: https://lemmy.ca/post/5581032, which I've copied below for you.


A great way to find lesser known communities is to look at the /communities page on an instance. For example: https://lemmy.ca/communities

For a list of instances to look through:

  • pangora.social (NEW): Great way to find instances related to a particular topic. This is also great for picking an instance when first making an account/moving accounts.
  • awesome-lemmy-instances: not that organized, but it

!trendingcommunities@feddit.nl

[-] cheerjoy@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

A good one is to look through !newcommunities@lemmy.world

[-] foofiepie@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Welcome, refugee. I was part of the Apollo exodus, and haven’t regretted it. Hard to define exactly why, but I reckon there’s a nicer vibe here.

[-] Azzu@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

You can use LULs to automatically have all links to other Lemmy instances on the internet point only to your home instance.
