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!

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

To view your saved posts, open the navigation drawer (hamburger menu) on Connect and tap on Saved, which is just below Profile.
Thanks, right there in front of my face the whole time!
Nothing like a good old awesome lemmy list
Saving for later. Thanks!
Really appreciate the list!
Thank you so much for this list! Super helpful.
Could you remove the spaces for people who aren’t browsing from .world?
Ah…I was wondering what the issue was.
Btw I made this userscript (Lemmy post) for anyone who’s as annoyed of links not going to their home instance as I was! It rewrites all links on all websites to always point to your home instance.
Should add the Xbox community to the gaming section.
Done and done
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.
As long it’s not a single one, we need 3 big main instances to reach critical mass.
What about drug communities. I miss looking at a bunch of posts made by drug users
Pretty sure there’s a trees community here somewhere.
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.
Bah no wonder I keep getting no community with that name error message with Connect.
Doesn’t seem to work with the ‘official’ Jerboa app either.
Ahh, thank you! I thought I was doing something wrong as I am still trying to figure out lemmy 🤣
If the links don’t work, you can just search for the communities through your app’s search feature, or on the website itself.
Great list. Already subbed to most :)

Anyone knows communities for maths homework help?
