I’m curious where everyone else has found communities to subscribe to on Lemmy.
The Lemmyverse explorer is a great resource.
There’s also this community [email protected] where you can ask for specific communities with certain characteristics and people reply with communities that fulfill them.
i took a stranger approach. i went to ”all” and viewed new, doom scrolled and added every community i found. then did same with ”active day”, ”active month”, etc. and just kept choosing new sorts and doom scrollin.
I did a hybrid approach: I started with a couple community explorers and added a bunch, then (like you) I sorted by All/New and added others that looked promising.
I’ve actually still been doing /new a lot since the population is still relatively small and the amount of new content hasn’t been overwhelming.
- Any “New Communities”… Community
- The ol’ list on feddit (although do know that’s fallen well behind since the explosion)
- Search. Not kidding. Look for what you want, see if any results are not one-offs but rather are in a whole Community around the topic. Sub.

Not sure how exactly it is on desktop (probably not too different), but on your instance’s mobile site, there should be an option—probably in a hamburger menu or whatnot—labeled “Communities”. Select that and the next screen will have three options: " Subscribed", “Local”, and “All”.
“Subscribed” lists all communities you’re subscribed to (naturally), “Local” shows all the communities that is hosted on your instance, and “All” shows all communities regardless of instance provided they are federated.

This is a good website if you know what you are looking for

I use https://lemmyverse.net/ since I’m on a smaller instance and a lot of communities just don’t appear for me until I’ve manually searched for them.
