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!
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.
Time to wait for the cat ones

Ya’ll gonna have to nerd out with me now. 😎
I appreciate you taking the time to share! I’ve only messed with Mastodon briefly and the fediverse is a little challenging to navigate at first (in my opinion).
I’ve been a lurker on the subreddit for ages and when I saw your post I decided it was time to check Lemmy out. Thanks for taking the time to set up an instance to keeps the community alive as Reddit implodes. Hopefully this works out or at least can act as a temporary home until we can figure out what is next.
yes, very much appreciated!
I think the reddit hug of love is affecting things today on the 12th.
Just a general question, on a mobile device is using your browser or an app the better experience? And if using an app is Jaebra the one most people use?
I’m actually impressed it seems to be holding up rather well from what I’m seeing. Is there anywhere to view the uptick in traffic?
Was just wondering about that. Jerboa pushed a major update today so I thought it was that, but on desktop I am getting 403’s and timeout galore today. Just try to be patient - growing the platform is a GOOD thing, but real people host these instances in most cases, and fixes take resources!

I prefer the browser to apps personally, this is actually one of the main reasons I like Lemmy over Reddit and it’s unusable mobile view. You’ll find plenty of mobile app users here too and it sounds like it works fine, I’ll just caution that some (all?) of them sound like they’re feature-incomplete, so if you ever think something is missing from Lemmy, double-check on the website first, because it might just not be added to the app yet.
Yeah, most of them are still in Alpha. It’s fun to see them grow and change with each update, but you are correct that many features are either broken/incomplete or just missing from them at this point. They’re doing a terrific job with Jerboa, for anyone looking for an android client. It’s very usable!

I’ve also found this post to be really helpful:
The growing list of subreddits going to be dark, but these are Lemmy or /kbin equivalents
What does 30+M, 20+M, etc mean, subscribers?
I think thats the number of subs that the subreddit had.
Yes. “30+M” means “over 30 million subscribers”.
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

Have you seen a good general math one yet?
Self replying to say: I just joined !math@lemmy.ml
We’re open for all!~
I was going down the universal search tool list, subscribing to the communities that I was interested in, and I ran into an issue trying to sub to some of the communities. Thankfully I was able to quickly find the answer - anything that is on the block list under https://lemmy.one/instances you are not able to subscribe to from this instance.
Glad to see that Lemmygrad is on the blocklist.
I am using the Jerboa app for Lemmy, and I am able to subscribe to communities via the search tab. How do I then view posts from my subscribed communities within the Jerboa app? Anyone know?
Not sure if I am using the app right…
Edit: looks like updating the app fixed it. Subscriptions now showing up in the left menu.
Thanks for the great list and comments! Has anyone found communities for any of these?:
- onebag
- barefoot(running)shoes
- bodyweightfitness/calisthenics
- degoogle
- minimalism
- lifehacks
- gtd(Getting things done)
Onebag has been created! https://wayfarershaven.eu/c/onebag
Link should be createde relative with servername in the format:
[communityName](/c/communityname@server.name)
So linking to Onebag would be: Onebag
Barefoot has been created. Feel free and welcome to add. Greetings from a fellow barefooter.
Hopefully you don’t get any foot fetish weirdos in there.
There is a degoogle one, I think it’s !degoogle@lemmy.ml
I wish someone would start a minimalism community.
Work Reform & Unionizing! - !workreform@lemmy.world
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 :)
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.
