As Lemmy starts maturing, there starts being so many communities out there that it's pretty hard to keep track. I've been browsing for about a month now, here's a list of popular communities I've subscribed to that others would find interesting!

Not many of these were noticeable while browsing communities so you may have missed some of these. I've roughly ranked these based on which I'd spend the most time on in each category.

Also note that I would add Kbin communities as well, but federation between Lemmy and Kbin is still not working well, so right now this post is for Lemmy communities only!

And that's it. Whew. Obviously I might have missed some, but these are the most interesting communities for me.

Ok - I just figured it out but it was not intuitive. This is for kbin.social. Unsure of the differences to Lemmy.

You have to go to search, then click magazines. This link should take you right there:

https://kbin.social/magazines

Then search for what you want eg newcommunities.

That should show local communities as well as ones that are federated.

It wasn’t apparent on mobile but apparently there’s a subscribe button on the search results on the right side.

If you click on the community you can still subscribe but clicking the side bar on the left. There’s a subscribe button if you scroll down a bit.

On PC, if you are browsing any magazine (local or not) you can clearly see the subscribe(and block) button on the right. I usually go to the magazine of interest when I read interesting post.

On mobile you can click the menu button in the upper left corner to get to the thread and magazine info of your current page to follow that thread or subscribe to the magazine it was posted to. It's quicker than scrolling all the way to the bottom of the page.
