As Lemmy starts maturing, there starts being so many communities out there that it’s pretty hard to keep track. I’ve been browsing for about a month now, here’s a list of popular communities I’ve subscribed to that others would find interesting!
Not many of these were noticeable while browsing communities so you may have missed some of these. I’ve roughly ranked these based on which I’d spend the most time on in each category.
Also note that I would add Kbin communities as well, but federation between Lemmy and Kbin is still not working well, so right now this post is for Lemmy communities only!

Edit: Removed spaces from links, added xbox to games section
Edit 2: android community moved to android@lemdro.id, updated link
I’m on kbin.
What happens if I just type
!NoStupidQuestions@lemmy.world
It gives a 404
How about if I change the ! to a @
@NoStupidQuestions
This one works, but you don’t see from the link text that it’s a link to Lemmy’s community instead of kbin’s magazine.
(I wrote the whole address but it gets converted to the link you see above,which works but you have to scroll ⅔ of the way down to find subscribe.)
What if I just write @NoStupidQuestions ?
This one looks the same, but it links to kbin’s magazine of the same name but different content. A bit confusing.
…
What if I create a URL using the kbin link thing above the text box
Link
This seems to work. Edit: no it doesn’t. I just linked back to this post somehow. Try again with a different notation…
Link
Nope.
Now to try this comment on Lemmy…
Can’t find this post on Lemmy - had to get there via https://lemmy.world/c/fediverse@kbin.social
Lemmy is having a lie down at this time.
