Aside from the general recommendations, I've had the most fun finding stuff I'm into and posting/commenting to build a little momentum in the communities.
Most recently I've been into chess, so I've been fairly active in [email protected] and [email protected]
Fediverse postings are probably also being used for AI training. Just so you won't be too shocked when it eventually comes out in the future.
Sure, but it hits different when there is a company of ill-repute specifically profiting off of your data acting as the broker.
Just go to communities and select all… go shopping!
Just browse all and take the time to block every community you don't like the content of
It depends on how much content you're looking for. You can't get the "infinite scroll" like you could on reddit, the user base just isn't there. The closest you can get is browsing all, but it's still limited. Search for communities based on your interests and then follow the communities that seem most active, as there will likely be duplicates. I left reddit last year when they killed the apps. I will say two things about my transition to lemmy: One, the content I do get is more tailored and specific. Two, I spend less time attached to my phone because new content isn't pouring in by the second. I view these as positives.
Also, if you put "old." in front of your URL you get the old view of the site, which I liked a lot more personally, so it's probably worth a try for you too.
Welcome! It's difficult for me to suggest specific communities because my favorites to read are highly individual. I suggest sorting /all by Active, Scaled, and New to assist in discovery.
Finally, please participate and share content! Lemmy needs it to thrive.
I am making the insane people Facebook one really fun these days.

Interesting share, just posts of stuff people thought was interesting.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
Try the Lemmyverse community search and use whatever keywords you are interested in. Subscribe to a bunch of communities and see if that brings interesting stuff to your front page. If you notice you’re seeing uninteresting stuff from certain communities, unsubscribe to those and keep on refining.
Also, if you’re interested in unexpected factorials, here’s the community for you.
It’s still pretty small and quiet, but anyone is welcome to post their factorial observations there.
I bailed around 8 months ago, I felt the same way and that was only 3 years into it. I block a lot of news type communities in all You'll notice some communities are similar/same as it is the local vs all of lemmy instances
[email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] (prequelmemes is small here mostly not active) [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]
