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.

Interested in finding more communities? Check out !newcommunities@lemmy.world to see people showing off their new communities.

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

Edit 2: android community moved to android@lemdro.id, updated link

    It’s a bit cumbersome on mobile, especially that kbin doesn’t have a native app (yet). First of all, magazines/communities have a name and a domain, just like email, e.g.: dnd@lemmy.world (or if you are “native” on lemmy.world, it’s https://lemmy.world/c/dnd)

    The easiest way to subscribe on a different instance is to open the magazines/communities in your browser and manipulate the URL a bit. The above c/m will look like this from your instance: https://kbin.social/m/dnd@lemmy.world

    So if you would like to open then subscribe to any c/m, you just need to change the end part.
    E.g.

    In case of lemmy instances it’s always /c, in case of kbin instances (there are more of that too!), it’s always /m

    On PC there are addons (e.g. for Firefox) that automatically rewrites the URLs to the correct ones.
    Hope this helps.
