Some people have been asking which communities they should join first, so I posted some remote communities you can subscribe to on the sidebar on the homepage :)
Tech → !technology@beehaw.org
News → !news@beehaw.org
Gaming → !gaming@beehaw.org
Memes → !memes@sopuli.xyz
Privacy → !privacy@lemmy.ca
FOSS → !foss@beehaw.org
Monero → !monero@monero.town
Music → !music@beehaw.org
Books → !literature@beehaw.org
LGBT → !lgbtq_plus@beehaw.org
Nature → !greenspace@beehaw.org

Find another cool community? Leave a comment :)
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!

Ya’ll gonna have to nerd out with me now. 😎
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!
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.
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.
Work Reform & Unionizing! - !workreform@lemmy.world
Should this be edited to remove Beehaw now that they have de-federated?
AFAIK beehaw defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. Not lemmy.one at the moment
Did not realize this, thanks! 👍
Removed by mod
They are only de-federated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works
Lemmy.one is still federated with those two and beehaw.org
That means it has no impact on us at all, afaik. I’m no pro but I just made a new account, after having a beehaw one, on this instance specifically to see if I could still see everything on all three, and I can.
It has an impact - you can’t see posts or replies on beehaw communities by people from lemmy.world, even if we’re federated with all of them. Only people from lemmy.world can see those (but they can’t see anyone else’s).
Time to wait for the cat ones
https://lemmy.one/c/aww@lemmy.ml you mean?
Join us for all your sports talk over at https://fanaticus.social! We’ve got communities for all the major sports and their teams.
I also spent the past week forking the popular game day bot, redball, in order to bring game bots to lemmy! There are still a couple of kinks I’m working out but I’ve begun rolling them out to the teams’ communities, starting with the baseball communities.
Check out:
- !baseball@fanaticus.social
- !cfb@fanaticus.social
- !nfl@fanaticus.social
- !nba@fanaticus.social
- !hockey@fanaticus.social
- !fantasyfootball@fanaticus.social
- !fantasy_baseball@fanaticus.social
- !fantasyhockey@fanaticus.social
And all the teams-specific communities!
Is there a community for language learners? More specifically I am interested in learning Swedish.
I think you replied to the wrong comment. My instance hosts communities for sports :)
Apparently. I am quite new to Lemmy and still learning the ropes. Probably clicked the wrong reply button :)
We’re open for all!~
I’m late to getting games so I was very happy to find https://sh.itjust.works/c/patientgamers with how patientgamers was one my favorite communities back on reddit.
Since that is also one of my favourite subreddits, I’d like to let you know that there is also !PatientGamers@kbin.social with 415 subscribers, but still waiting for it to gain traction with posts. Subbed to both to read those spicy discussions!
Thank you for making me aware of this too. It’s cool seeing how across different options patient gamer community is popping up.
No problem man! I was so glad it did pop up and believe it will thrive in the fediverse!
Does anyone have recommendations for communities on camping, hiking, and backpacking? Much appreciated.
These were the ones I was able to find:
!backpacking@lemmy.ml !hiking@lemmy.ml !outdoors@lemmy.ca !camping@sh.itjust.works
!camping@sh.itjust.works seems to be the most active one right now, not sure if we are federating with all of them yet.
Sweet! Thank you
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:
I love how oddly specific this is. Not found one yet but hopefully one will pop up. I do follow a Tumblr specifically about pigeons though
wait what’s the tumblr??? 👀
Pigeon a Day There’s a surprising number of bird blogs on Tumblr!
Start an ugly cute community! Lol. Refuge for all critters that are weird and not widely accepted as cute lil guys
Sadly the instance I joined doesn’t let you create new communities. Though I suppose it might make sense to shop around a bit now that all the servers are no longer melting.
Theres some sciencey ones on Mander.xyz :
Mander has a list that is really long of many different disiplines so I just grabbed the ones that I thought would of intrest
A version of r/nostupidquestions: !nostupidquestions@mander.xyz
Have you seen a good general math one yet?
Self replying to say: I just joined !math@lemmy.ml
Where are my fellow C programmers? And those who prefer Basic ( qb64 and Gambas welcome too)?
I’m still hoping that this community grows here, but so far the only one I found for C is !c_lang@programming.dev (all the other programming languages seem to also have a community on programming.dev instance)
I don’t find !c_lang@programming.dev in the list of All communities at Lemmy.one - how do I subscribe?
Atleast one person from your instance needs to subscribe to a community on another instance so that others can find it in the all communities list. If none have, you need to paste the real url into the search to find it.
So go to the search, choose “
communities” “All” and type https://programming.dev/c/c_langEdit: sorry not communities, the search needs to be set to search “all”. Edit 2: adding a pic:
This, but data scientists!
How about !dataengineering@lemmy.ml ?
There’s also !data_engineering@programming.dev , over at programming.dev, which is a software engineering/prorgramming/computer science focused instance.
I took a look around over at programming.dev, but couldn’t find a C-specific community. Although we do have these (semi-) related communities:
You can also request new communities in !community_request@programming.dev .Oh man, I was totally wrong. Check out !c_lang@programming.dev !
