Hey Guys. Trying to not just lurk and having a hard time finding good communities outside of this instance. What are some cool active ones you have found so far?
If you haven’t already, go to the hamburger menu -> communities -> all.
The list should show you how many people have subscribed and how many posts and comments are in each community.
The NZ communities from this instance seem to be quite high up the list.
In case you missed it, there’s now an FAQ: https://lemmy.nz/post/31318
And another user found this helpful video explaining Lemmy, and it also covers a little about finding communities not on your instance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6xCw9zb5kw
Other than that, there are lots (and more all the time), so it depends what you’re into. Here are a few active ones:
There’s the community browser at https://browse.feddit.de/ which is searchable, lists communities from lots of instances, and shows post/subscriber count for each
The list of “all” communities on this instance will only include those that have been subscribed by at least one user on this instance
I’ve set up [email protected] over on my instance and would be willing to set up other NZ based communities that don’t fit here.
I’ll leave Dave with NZ and the local area communities seems as he was first up for NZ
I feel like we’re gonna need a suggested communities list. Is a pinned post the best way to handle it? Non-pinned post that’s linked in the sidebar? Something else?
On reddit you’d probably link to a wiki page from the sidebar, but Lemmy doesn’t have wiki functionality (yet).
