List of popular communities you should visit!

simple@lemmy.world to New Communities@lemmy.world – 102 points –

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!

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

32

i had to unsubscribe from !technews @radiation.party because it is borderline spam.

i am not talking about quality of the posts, lot of these links are quite interesting, but there is so many of them that it just took over my feed and i want to see something else occasionally :D

there should be a feature to subscribe to community but exclude it from feed, or somehow limit it to max x posts per y time or something..

The bot definitely posts a ton of links per hour. I don't have it subscribed but I do check in every now and then.

Yeah I developed it to average new posts over each 5m interval so there isn’t a huge dump of posts every 5 minutes- but it’s still a lot of topics compared to Lemmys typical activity.

Lots of non-tech crap gets mixed in, thinking about adding some filtering etc.

Tried to copy and remove the extra space in front of the @ to see if that helps for people not on lemmy.world (myself included).

Hope it works, thanks OP for the list.

Seemed to fix the 404 for me (on lemmy.zip)

Sorry if I missed some, it's late and I'm doing this on mobile while holding a sleeping baby.

When I click on any of the links it says content or community was not found.

What app are you using friend?

I'm currently using liftoff and every link is working correctly, many apps have had issues with how link handling works, so I was pleasantly surprised to see it working in today's update

I tried on both WefWef and Memmy, I’ll have to try on a different app or the actual site.

Memmy is not reading the links properly on iPhone and is chopping the text weirdly

It works for me on the website, I'm not sure if mobile apps play nice with links. If I messed up the formatting hopefully someone that knows more can tell me what's wrong

Remove the space before the @. Anyone who clicks on the links who isn't from lemmy.world will get a 404, or they will be directed to the wrong community if one exists on their instance.

It's working with Jerboa for me on Android

Links not working for me. Using Connect for lemmy. Any suggestions?

Links not working for Jerboa either :(

Links work fine on Jerboa

At the time, the links were not working. I think it was just when In general the instance wasn't working / constant crashing or not loading.

I wish there was an easy way to link to these communities so that Kbin users could access them directly

The links take me to a 404 page.

That's because OP added a space between the c/ and the @. It's not really helpful for anyone who isn't on .world

Commenting to save this post. Will check back later on a platform where the links work. :)

Thanks for the list. Got a little lost randomly browsing communities. This helps a lot.
