Ive been on reddit for more than a decade. Kinda bittersweet, but its not the first time I have moved on from an internet site. I just cant support reddit and sucking up all my posts for AI purposes. Feels terrible and spammy. Ive been a reddit premium holder for many many years.
Anyways, what communities do you recommend?
Welcome to Lemmy!
I found that a large number of communities have been named after popular, and less popular, subreddits. So I found them easy to find. There was an old r/Redditalternatives post that has a decent range of communities to start out, which I’ve copied below. It is similar to the default subreddits.:
*Note:*The “World” hyperlink takes you to the Lemmy.World communitiy.
General
News/Politics
Pets and such
Gaming
TV and Music
Pics and Art
Technology and Science
Sports
Others
I’m kind of new here too, why do all these communities have both a lemmy.ee and lemmy.world version? Is it just that someone happened to set them up on both instances so now there’s two, or is there some kind of crosspost/mirroring going on?
Thanks for this! I’ve been here since the 3rd party app shutdown and this is great!
Also a little plug for !microblog_memes@lemmy.world which is our WhitePeopleTwitter replacement.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !showerthoughts@lemmy.world, !general@lemmy.world, !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world, !youshouldknow@lemmy.world, !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world, !mildlyinteresting@lemmy.world, !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world, !videos@lemmy.world, !world@lemmy.world, !aww@lemmy.world, !cat@lemmy.world, !retrogaming@lemmy.world, !nintendo@lemmy.world, !music@lemmy.world, !pics@lemmy.world, !digitalart@lemmy.world, !mobilewallpaper@lemmy.world, !wallpapers@lemmy.world, !technology@lemmy.world, !science@lemmy.world, !fediverse@lemmy.world, !football@lemmy.world, !nba@lemmy.world, !nfl@lemmy.world, !foodporn@lemmy.world, !3dprinting@lemmy.world
I would actually recommend !anime@ani.social instead. The admins of lemmy.ml are weirdly hostile towards anime, but ani.social is an anime-specific instance.
