Are there any lemmy instances that work as a single "subreddit"?
And which of them are a better alternative than subscribing to a specific community here at lemmy.world?

Lemmynsfw.com
Cool! I just subscribed to synthwave. :)
https://startrek.website/ has a few communities, but they're all on theme.
It's also basically the /r/startrek community. One of the earliest to migrate, and migrate wholesale.
Course I'm not sure how smart each topic having its own instance is going to be. Feels like that just means the mods you knew from Reddit are now admins of their own neighborhood, answerable to no one, and that could be a good thing...but I can see a lot of ways that creates issues in the future.
Bias is I was a mod, but I figure the people both technically literate enough to host an instance and that actually did leave reddit when push came to shove are the good ones, generally. Most of the shitty mods haven't left precisely because it would mean giving up what little power they have.
It is a new way communities can work. Before, it was always an outside entity that ran admin. Now, it can be community led instead.
Of course, what that actually means and the drama that can come from that is unique to Lemmy.
exploding-heads.com
They have a bunch of communities and users, but they are all incel/transphobia themed. They have communities like !realmen@exploding-heads.com (andrew tate rhetoric) and !dankmemes@exploding-heads.com (transphobia). Block them if you value your sanity.
Authorities need to monitor this one closely to find future mass shooters. I hope they are on it.
I took a look through exploding-heads and lemmygrad recently, just to see what they were like for myself. Lemmygrad was about what I was expecting. EH on the other hand was just kind of... sad? Pathetic? The one admin begging people to participate more was particularly so.
https://lemmy.film/
Is it possible to subscribe to this, or do I need to make an account there to view it in the Memmy app?
yes, you can subscribe to any community that has been federated. search communities "all" or just go to !moviesandtv@lemmy.film
Not sure I understand the question, but you should be able to subscribe to their communities (such as !moviesandtv) from wherever you are posting from. :)
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: !moviesandtv@lemmy.film
https://mander.xyz/ comes to mind. It's not exactly a single subreddit but it has a strong focus on nature-related stuff.
Lemdro.id seems to be all about android stuff.
lemmit.online is an instance that is entirely made up of reddit cross-posts. It has one account, a bot, that copies every post made to any subreddits on its list so you can see the content without going to reddit.
waveform.social
Cool! I just subscribed to synthwave. :)
Wayfarershaven.eu is focused on creating a space for inspiration, creativity, handwork, reading, learning, travel, etc. So we have everything from !fountainpens@wayfarershaven.eu to !heronebag@wayfarershaven.eu to !digitalnomads@wayfarershaven.eu to !cozyfantasy@wayfarershaven.eu.
pathfinder.social is oriented around the Paizo ttrpg
Funny you should ask. I recently created a community for cataloging specialized instances. Its got a pretty big list of them.
lemmy.film is centered around... discussion of film, whether it is about viewing them, creating them, and everything in between.
lemmy.az.social is just Arizona stuff.
There are some with very specific purposes/nationalities (like lemmynsfw, lemmy.ca, and one Portuguese-only one for people from Portugal) that somewhat resemble the porn subs and the country-themed subreddits like r/canada and r/suddenlycaralho respectively.
alongside the others mentioned here, lemdro.id exists for Android-related stuff and lemmyrs.org exists for Rust stuff (but seems to be running an old version of Lemmy, so YMMV)
