As many people here right now I assume, I’m coming to Lemmy as a Reddit alternative. I’ve got my account created via lemmy.world and have a bunch of other communities that I was able to find just by browsing the Communities section found here. However, since there are potentially infinite instances and communities out there, how do you guys go about finding new ones that might be relevant to your interests? The list of communities only gets you so far, imo.
I’ve kinda just been searching here but there’s also this:
https://lemmyverse.net/communities
Keep in mind beehaw has defederated with lemmy.world so might not be worth trying to follow any of those communities from a lemmy.world account.
I used this as well.
Though content has really increased, I still find a great way to find new communities is to sort by all and new, then scanning the posts and looking to see if any are coming from communities I didn’t know about. I guess you could do the same with hot or active.
Oh, interesting. I didn’t realize beehaw had defederated. Any info on why?
I believe it had something to do with the ease of the lemmy.world sign up process and beehaw is run as a very protected space in the #threadiverse. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
