There’s also this universal community search tool you can try using. If you find a community, just copy its URL and paste it in /search to subscribe to it here. This just goes to show that while there might not be many local communities here on lemmy.one yet, the beauty of the fediverse means that doesn’t matter!
I’m here from reddit, and thank you for these recommendations. Time for my neuroplasticity to kick in so I can learn how all this works.
Also here from Reddit. Lemmy actually feels like how Reddit *used *to feel in its early years, i.e. fresh community with fresh ideas. Love it!
Avoid beehaw
What don’t you like about it? I find Beehaw pretty great. The only thing I could think of is that they’ve defederated some of the larger instances, but it’s understandable given their content philosophy and the current state of moderation tools on Lemmy (really terrible).
Why?
They’ve defederated over 400 instances including lemmy.world, they want centralization
Good to know, thanks.
Just wanted to say, thanks for hosting this instance! I’m a reddit refuge and this Lemmy instance has been really straightforward on how to get started.
Time to wait for the cat ones

Ya’ll gonna have to nerd out with me now. 😎
Memmy for iOS makes it super easy to find and join communities. Highly recommended.
Does anyone know of any communities for pigeons or capybaras (or tbh any other weird-but-cute critters)?
Edit: adding some as I find them:
How can I create some for lemmy.one?
We’re open for all!~
I was going down the universal search tool list, subscribing to the communities that I was interested in, and I ran into an issue trying to sub to some of the communities. Thankfully I was able to quickly find the answer - anything that is on the block list under https://lemmy.one/instances you are not able to subscribe to from this instance.
Glad to see that Lemmygrad is on the blocklist.
Thanks you, subbed to a lot of them. The more content and more posts, the better. :)
Hi! Does anyone know any good communities about the following topics:
-longboarding
-possum pictures and/or possum memes
Is there a community for news/world news? I always found interesting news in Reddit and liked seeing discussions about it.
Also interested in this for the same reason
Just the standard big server world news ones:
World News https://lemmy.one/c/news@beehaw.org https://lemmy.one/c/world@lemmy.world https://lemmy.one/c/worldnews@lemmy.ml
US specific https://lemmy.one/c/usnews@beehaw.org https://lemmy.one/c/usa@lemmy.ml
Feel free to let me know if I’m missing any other major ones
I appreciate you taking the time to share! I’ve only messed with Mastodon briefly and the fediverse is a little challenging to navigate at first (in my opinion).
I’ve been a lurker on the subreddit for ages and when I saw your post I decided it was time to check Lemmy out. Thanks for taking the time to set up an instance to keeps the community alive as Reddit implodes. Hopefully this works out or at least can act as a temporary home until we can figure out what is next.
yes, very much appreciated!
!trendingcommunities@feddit.nl is my goto for discovery, for anybody else who might be struggling to find communities
