It’s small enough that just browsing all will actually show you all.
/all, top of last 12 hours has been my go-to
It might end up showing all the communities but it won’t show you every post. Like F1 posts rarely end up in all despite having an active community. You’re more likely to see posts from formuladank than formula 1.
Browse /all, sort by new, you’ll see every post your Lemmy instance is aware of.
Lemmy is a lot smaller than reddit so its more acceptable to post niche content in more generic communities. That being said I really like
Welcome to Lemmy!
Happy to be here! I’ve had this account since the Great Migration of 2023, but I was slow to actually leave Reddit because the dumpster fire was too enticing. Thanks for the recommendations.
Fun fact: Even if Spez banned you from Reddit, you can still edit your old comments. I just recently discovered that.
Anyways, welcome to Lemmy!
Sadly, Lemmy is too small to have many active niche communities of its own, so as already said your best bet is just viewing all.
Alongside this, viewing specific instances can give you a slightly more curated experience than just all of Lemmy.
Most niche communities from R*ddit are pretty much dead here unless you are looking forward to being a regular poster yourself. This rather requires sticking to the lemmy.world open feed rather than creating a custom feed with your communities only, if you are looking to scroll a lot instead, of course. Just stick around a bit, see how often what communities and people reach the general feed, elect to block the ones that feel flooding your feed or not to your taste. Maybe give some regularly-posted communities that are previously not in your area of interest some chance before going on a mass block. This place does have a quality and rather genuine people, but in a limited scope.
For discovering new communities !trendingcommunities
And finally !newtolemmy
Arrrrrrooooooooooo MFER!!!1!!!
Hope to see you in [email protected]
When I moved over I searched for versions of all my reddit communities. Sadly, a lot of them are inactive, but I subbed anyway just in case. Then I went onto all and looked for the top handful that had stuff I liked. Now I mostly stick to my subscribed and flip over to all if I run out.
Not to be too biased or anything, but I mod
and
I also really like
The userbases on all of these communities are a little smaller, but steady and the vibe is more positively authentic than Reddit alternatives.
Oh and [email protected]
Just browse all tbh
Rather than particular communities, I tend to just do all - last 12 hours.
[email protected] is all you need to know
Shameless plug for [email protected] it’s the offseason so it’s not crazy active. But if you’re looking for college football…
linuxmemes and the worldnews communities on both .world and .ml
It’s good to have both because they bias against each other.
Welcome to Lemmy! 🤗This website has helped me find the most popular communities and niche communities from all over the fediverse https://lemmyverse.net/communities
I hope you have fun here!
The first thing I recommend you do is get a feel for the vibe of other instances, with a more dedicated topic, and join those, rather than Lemmy.world or something.
Lemmy is at its best when your local feed has more topics along your personal interests, but you can search All for stuff outside your interests.
