All 3 are pretty active, although the bottom one is a bot community hat automatically finds rising and popular communities in the fediverse. The top two are similar, but one seems to be about just generally bringing attention to communities people want more users in (community promo), and the other is about advertising newly created or revived communities (new communities).

I personally subscribe to all 3, but I’m always trying to find new communities to add to my home feed. I prefer using that over All or Local.

Might depend on the app you use.

Oh ya, for sure, but at least check out that site for the different communities you can subscribe to (the equivalent of subreddits here).

I also use these communities to find other ones: !communitypromo@lemmy.ca !newcommunities@lemmy.world !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl

I think my favorite right now is Scaled Sort. It helps give my smaller communities more visibility.

Yay! The megathread is here! And a wiki!

Ya I use different accounts on Lemmy to customize my home feed right now since Lemmy doesn’t have a multi reddit-like feature yet. Also, every now and then an instance goes down, had technical problems, or people randomly decide to defederate with it. That person’s advice is pretty good. I mostly stick with this account now, but I feel better knowing I have a backup lol.

I made an Alt account on lemmynsfw.com in case I wanted to post NSFW stuff. I haven’t yet, but it’s also good if you want to follow that kind of stuff and keep it separated from your main account (sometimes I want a horny main feed, sometimes I don’t lol).

Welcome! Have you found the Lemmyverse Explorer? It’s a great way to find communities to join, and other instances in case you want to make a backup account.

You guys not have fraternities over there? Because that’s a place where a bunch of friends live together in uni lol

Like… Any music?

How have I never heard of this, too? Because I’ve definitely complained about this before lol.

I go to Reddit for two niche subreddits and I look forward to the day I can abandon it for good for Lemmy. The front page doesn’t even entertain me anymore, every discussion there is so boring.

I started Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth. I’ve been loving it, it’s like they made the game for me. It’s a perfect unwind game at the end of a day of work between the calming music, character conversations, and silly or cute mini games; but there’s also enough strategy and action in battles to keep my mind stimulated when I want more than that.

It’s been a stimulating day, huh? Lol

Figured it out lol

That’s a cute community idea! I’ve never heard of that instance so not sure why people wouldn’t like it.

What’s the blue spots? Aawww is it nervous like this 😅?

Is there a data hoarding community on Lemmy or is this basically it?

What I’ve learned from this thread as someone getting into horror again is that I really need to watch Hereditary and the original Candyman. Might just bookmark this for all the great recommendations. Only hard part is that my partner isn’t into horror so it’s hard to watch them.
