I’m currently on the pawb.social instance, and already found some neat communities, still looking for recommendations however
Just wanted to say that what instance you are in, nearly does not matter in fedeverse. Unless that instance with users becomes defederated, you can access all other communities.
Well with defederation, it actually does matter. For the “I can choose what I can see myself” crowd, lemm.ee is a good bet. If you don’t want to bother, lemmy.world is whered I go.
Welcome! I’d recommend subscribing to !communitypromo@lemmy.ca, to see recommendations over time.
We also have a guide for finding new communities here: https://lemmy.ca/post/5581032, which I’ve copied below for you.
A great way to find lesser known communities is to look at the
/communities
page on an instance. For example: https://lemmy.ca/communitiesFor a list of instances to look through:
- pangora.social (NEW): Great way to find instances related to a particular topic. This is also great for picking an instance when first making an account/moving accounts.
- awesome-lemmy-instances: not that organized, but it
