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

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.

Ahh, thank you! I thought I was doing something wrong as I am still trying to figure out lemmy ๐Ÿคฃ

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.
