I’m slowly trying to build my feed and while Beehaw offers plenty of great communities with great engagement, I’d like to add a few more to give me a little more variety. Open to anything really!
Here is a link to a post that another user made listing a lot of different communities. Maybe you would be interested in some of them.

Edit: Sorry, I just realized that the link that I listed is on lemmy.world, so I guess you would be unable to view it since beehaw has defederated from them.
You can search for communities here. https://lemmyverse.net/
One issue you may have is not being able to see/post on communities from lemmy.world. and sh.itjust.works instances because beehaw.org chose to defederate from them.
Unfortunately a decent amount of active communities are on lemmy.world – but here are some other cool places from my subbed list:
-
mander.xyz — this place has a lot of nature and science communities; their houseplant community is great, they have a native plant gardening community, a moss community (please join and post more moss!!), and more.
-
sopuli.xyz — they have a map enthusiasts community I like, popular steam deck and meme communities, EDC, and more.
-
slrpnk.net — they have solarpunk and zero waste communities, no lawns, etc.
-
lemmy.zip — has good game specific communities, like Disco Elysium, Hades, Starfield, Diablo, and others
I’ll also recco lemmyverse.net as a great way to browse the communities that are across the fediverse!
Why is lemmy.world having a lot of active communities unfortunate? I’m a bit new here. Is there already drama between communities? Or some other reason, like slow servers or something?
Edit: Just saw that it’s defederated. Any reason? I was worried about this being a thing, having to subscribe to other communities and shuffle subscriptions. What a pain. Hope it doesn’t happen often.
Ah I see. Those are solid reasons, I don’t blame them for defederating. Still kinda sucks, I was worried about this being a problem. Having multiple accounts and re-managing subscriptions each time it happens is going to be a nightmare without any centralization. I wonder if it’s going to be a barrier for less tech savvy users. I suppose these types of problems can be solved over time.
