Just by checking https://lemmy.ml/communities one can see the most popular communities of lemmy.ml. The plan here is to list all the alternatives for those from other instances. One can also suggest alternatives to be added here and I update this living document.
if this list is still being updated, we just started up a new instance at forum.dxcomplex.com. we’ve got:
!music@forum.dxcomplex.com
!gaming@forum.dxcomplex.com
!art@forum.dxcomplex.com
!technology@forum.dxcomplex.com
!general@forum.dxcomplex.com (catch all for anything/everything else)
Our community in general has a slight DIY and/or retro slant to it but you can discuss whatever within the limits of the rules
I’m very new to Lemmy and trying to find some interesting and live communities. I found this list and it is not good at all. Check !memes@lemmy.ca - 0 posts. Check other one - 1 post. Check another one - someone reposts links from twitter. That is not helpful list.
The purpose of this list is simply to collect alternative communities on different Lemmy instances, not to filter them out by popularity or a similar metric.
I personally prefer a single account on an instance that doesn’t pre-emptively block others, since the whole point of federation for me is to be able to access anything from anywhere with just one account.
good point. I see it the same way.
Do you know an instance that is perfectly made for this - not blocking anyone at all?
Beehaw seems to make a fair bit of effort in providing communities for most common topics and providing content in a non-toxic and non-politically polarized environment. Would recommend alternatives in either of the two recommended instances.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !main@sopuli.xyz
Community for all jibber-jabber. As this is a hard-coded community for every instance, we may get this doing something useful.
programming@beehaw.org, greenspace@beehaw.org
heapoverflow.ml seems to be down.
Gotta remove it.

Yes, this list is being updated regularly. But really nice to hear that you have set up your own instance, I will add those right away!

Is https://heapoverflow.ml gone or just momentarily down? If gone it might be good to update this great posting 😁
@QuentinCallaghan For libre culture I found !libre
It doesn’t really seem active tho.
Don’t how up to date this is, but here are a few communities:
!usa@midwest.social
!gaming@midwest.social
Dope thank you
Additional Privacy --> privacy@community.nicfab.it,privacy@lemmygrad.ml,privacy@wolfballs.com,privacy@nrsk.no
Why can’t I follow @privacy@lemmygrad.ml and @privacy@wolfballs.com from my instance from? The other two worked…

aaaah… Thank you very much! Now I see.
So it’s not forbidden - or let’s say frowned upon - to make an account on each instance?

thanks ;)
Pretty sure we’re not doing lemmgygrad since it’s the problems of lemmy.ml x10 and wolfballs is far right
Dude I Can’t get in to wolf balls I’ve tried but I never receive the email verification
Once one of these get big enough, not a bad idea to make those on other instances. In case the instance goes down, admin goes rogue etc.
