List of popular communities you should visit!

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 to see people showing off their new communities.

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

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

These are pretty good, but I decided not to add kbin communities to the post for now. Kbin still has issues with federation so posts and comments coming from there often end up missing on Lemmy and vice-versa. Hopefully things will get fixed soon enough, and when they do I’ll check out all the kbin communities I’ve been missing out on.

Kinolee,

My understanding with this was that lemmy was actively blocking kbin content. I don't think it's kbin's fault, and lemmy/ml is being shady.

Anything for e-bikes or e-bike building?

kyrbi,

Can anyone help me how to subscribe to these communities? Thank you

If you’re logged in on the website, those links should “just work” and the subscribe button is in the sidebar. Mobile website also works really well although you have to expand the sidebar to see the button.

If you’re using one of the many different mobile apps you’ll have to let us know which one because they all seem to work completely differently at the moment!

Edit: Just realised you’re on Kbin and it looks like Kbin is stripping the link formatting out of the post for some weird reason, that’s why you can’t click them 🤦‍♀️

You're on a kbin instance, and it is the main one so most of them are probably already there. If any of them is not, just click the search button at the top of the screen and enter the name you see above without the ! and without the space before the @. e.g. "[email protected]", your instance will then look it up and subscribe you to it if found.

It might take a while for threads to begin to appear if it wasn't already there though.

soupspoon,

Have you successfully subscribed to any lemmy.ml communities or [email protected]? Mine still show as pending after a couple of weeks

mrzip,

I’m getting the same. It’s all pending.

jake_eric,

Pending is the same as subscribed, at least functionally. You’ll still get the posts in your subscribed feed. I think it’s just a visual thing.

makkurokurosuke,

I don’t know how to save so I’m going to comment a dot here like the old days

Indie,

Thanks!

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

dekatron,

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.

Indie,

Thanks, right there in front of my face the whole time!

freamon,

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.

orientalsniper,

As long it’s not a single one, we need 3 big main instances to reach critical mass.

nouman,

Nothing like a good old awesome lemmy list

    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.

    bornforleaving,

    Ahh, thank you! I thought I was doing something wrong as I am still trying to figure out lemmy 🤣

    gunslingerfry,

    Doesn’t seem to work with the ‘official’ Jerboa app either.

    CadillacCalves,

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

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

    Saving for later. Thanks!

    Azzu,

    List of unpopular communities you should visit:

    I’m so alone 😭

    n_emoo,

    Sadly the r/dota2 community doesnt seem to have migrated that much. Which is a shame because everyone from pro players to valve use it as an official means to communicate.

    Azzu,

    From the way the mods of that subreddit behaved, it was pretty clear that they didn’t care at all about the protests. They made a poll and ignored the like 60% that wanted the protest to continue.

    Thank you so much! I saved this post. 😁
