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!

General Discussion

Humor & Memes

Technology

Pictures & Videos

Movies & TV

Video Games

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

Edit: Removed spaces from links, added xbox to games section

Edit 2: android community moved to [email protected], updated link

    Thanks!

    Can anyone let me know if there is a way to book mark a post? Am using the connect app. Thanks!

      To save a post, you need to tap the bookmark icon next to the downvote arrow. Comments can also be saved by swiping them to the left until you see the bookmark icon.

      To view your saved posts, open the navigation drawer (hamburger menu) on Connect and tap on Saved, which is just below Profile.

    Could you remove the spaces for people who aren’t browsing from .world?

    I can’t claim to understand this tech yet, but I feel like so many of these communities being on the same instance isn’t the way it’s supposed to be.

    I’m using connect and my home instance is lemmy.world. 2 questions: why don’t the majority of these links work and what do the exclamation points (!) mean?

      There appearsto be an extra space in the link before the " )". I’m also using Connect. Hopefully OP can address that.

      The ! is shorthand for linking to other communities, it provides an autocomplete link for referencing communities.

      The links work on the website and Liftoff app so I guess Connect still hasn’t been updated to work well with these links yet. These apps are all new so some bugs should be expected.

      If the links don’t work, you can just search for the communities through your app’s search feature, or on the website itself.
