Copying over the guide from !communityPromo@lemmy.ca so it's more accessible here



๐Ÿ™Œ Communities for discovering new communities

Stay subscribed to these to learn about more communities passively


๐ŸŒ Instances to look through

You can find communities from specific instances

A great way to find lesser known communities is to look at the /communities page on an instance. Different instances may have different themes or focuses, and so you can find related communities that way.

For example: https://lemmy.ca/communities

  • pangora.social: Great way to find instances related to a particular topic. This is also great for picking an instance when first making an account/moving accounts.
  • awesome-lemmy-instances


๐Ÿ”Ž Search Engines

When you have a topic in mind, but don't know if a community exists for it


๐Ÿ”ฅ Apps and Browser Extensions

These can make it easier to find, subscribe, and manage communities on different instances
