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.
Welcome!
I don’t have specific recommendations on hand because I’m on mobile, but you can look through this guide from !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca for other ways to discover communities

Following the promo communities works great so you can passively learn about new things when they get promoted
TBH I just stick to the feed and block the communities I don’t want to see. Especially avoid anything on Hexbear or lemmy ml, those instances are CCP propoganda trying to convince the west to off each other and themselves.
Same here. Everything, sorted by scaled, and I block communities that annoy me. Or entire instances, but so far that’s just been hexbear
You should choose an instance that defederates from those instances if you don’t like them (or try to convince your current admins to defederate).
I can’t decide I don’t like them if I haven’t seen any of their things, plus the block feature works well enough.
The block feature only hides posts from those instances communities, not comments (unless you block individual users, but then you have to block a whole lot of users).
Also users from those instances will still have an influence on your feed via their voting. For example if you think an instance is a source of political propaganda, they can still promote that political agenda via voting.
Defederation is a more effective solution if you want to avoid an instance.
The feed on my instance is only posts. I don’t browse comments unless I visit the post.
I see so many comments like this across lemmy and so little offensive content from those instances that I’m really beginning to wonder who the actual propagandists are.
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.
Rather than particular communities, I tend to just do all - last 12 hours.
Welcome back! Depends on what you like, there’s a good chunk of communities now. Just make sure to keep expectations in check, we’re not Reddit, a good community here has a couple of posts a day and dozens, not thousands of comments. Your post here I’d say is doing pretty well.
We’re still growing, slowly, but you’re proof that people are growing tired of corporate social media.
Yeah, I couldn’t sleep last night, so I was looking around here for a while. I think browsing all might be good enough for now. I’m also really digging the smaller size; it seems to allow all posts made in good faith to get decent engagement. On Reddit, the early downvote I got on this post would have been a death sentence for responses, but now I’ve got lots to go off of here
Yeah we don’t have the post counts to ignore one just because it got down voted once ! There are many posts that come back from the dead.
And I say this to everyone, you’re already doing it’d be the change you want to see. If there’s a niche community with no posts, start posting. People will gather to it.
!newcommunities@lemmy.world is all you need to know
My favorites are 196 and lemmyshitpost. Nostupidquestions can also be interesting sometimes. I’d recommend searching for the names of your favorite subreddits and checking if they have moved over here.
Yeah !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone is one of my favorite communities for wholesome memes.
Do you like animal pictures?
!animalswithjobs@lemmy.world
!aww@lemmy.world
!awwnverts@lemmy.world
!superbowl@lemmy.world
!crows@lemmy.ml
!bats@lemmy.worldAnd I know I’ve forgot some community.
In that case, there’s some cat communities.
Btw, Welcome!
I think you responded to the wrong comment but I’ve saw others people recommandations for cats and beaver and I don’t remember what else and I’ve note them down.
I think there is also some !pet somewhere but I can’t find it again.
I fucking love animal pictures. Following all these now.
Glad to help (^_^)
Funny communities and news ones are usually found in generalist instances such as lemmy.world or lemmy.ml but the most interesting ones are on specialised instances.
The best way to discover them is to go directly to the instance and scroll a bit on the local thread or to go to the community page (ex: lemmy.ml/communities).
Then come back to your instance to visit again or follow the communities you liked.There is geographically or language specialised instances such as :
but a few geographically/language specialised instances were creative with there name such as
- aussie.zone
- jlai.lu
- midwest.social
There is also subject oriented instances for example
- mander.xyz. Science oriented
- slrpnk.net. Solarpunk oriented
- lemmy.dbzer0.com. Allow content about piracy
and !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com is probably the most follow community on the lemmyverse.
You can find community directly from your instance page or from a browser like :
The browser helps you find community’s names that were never connected to your own instance or specialised instance you didn’t knew about.
When connecting for the first time type the url lemmy.world/c/[community’s name]@[community’s instance], you’ll get an error but after refreshing the page you will have access to the community. But that’s not new-comers friendly as you’ll need another maneuvers to access post published before you connect your instance to the remote community. Still, if you are interested, I can explain you how to do it.There is also politically oriented instances but some may be blocked by the administrators of your instance. You can check that on lemmy.world/instances.
Finally, if you want to test your options on Lemmy without spamming your favorite communities, you can do that here !testfediverse@jlai.lu.
Shameless plug for !cfb@fanaticus.social it’s the offseason so it’s not crazy active. But if you’re looking for college football…
