There's also this universal community search tool you can try using. If you find a community, just copy its URL and paste it in /search to subscribe to it here. This just goes to show that while there might not be many local communities here on lemmy.one yet, the beauty of the fediverse means that doesn't matter!
I'm here from reddit, and thank you for these recommendations. Time for my neuroplasticity to kick in so I can learn how all this works.
Also here from Reddit. Lemmy actually feels like how Reddit *used *to feel in its early years, i.e. fresh community with fresh ideas. Love it!

Ya'll gonna have to nerd out with me now. 😎
I think the reddit hug of love is affecting things today on the 12th.
Just a general question, on a mobile device is using your browser or an app the better experience? And if using an app is Jaebra the one most people use?
I'm actually impressed it seems to be holding up rather well from what I'm seeing. Is there anywhere to view the uptick in traffic?
I prefer the browser to apps personally, this is actually one of the main reasons I like Lemmy over Reddit and it's unusable mobile view. You'll find plenty of mobile app users here too and it sounds like it works fine, I'll just caution that some (all?) of them sound like they're feature-incomplete, so if you ever think something is missing from Lemmy, double-check on the website first, because it might just not be added to the app yet.
Yeah, most of them are still in Alpha. It's fun to see them grow and change with each update, but you are correct that many features are either broken/incomplete or just missing from them at this point. They're doing a terrific job with Jerboa, for anyone looking for an android client. It's very usable!
I've also found this post to be really helpful:
The growing list of subreddits going to be dark, but these are Lemmy or /kbin equivalents
What does 30+M, 20+M, etc mean, subscribers?
I think thats the number of subs that the subreddit had.
Yes. "30+M" means "over 30 million subscribers".
Just wanted to say, thanks for hosting this instance! I'm a reddit refuge and this Lemmy instance has been really straightforward on how to get started.
We're open for all!~
Theres some sciencey ones on Mander.xyz :
Mander has a list that is really long of many different disiplines so I just grabbed the ones that I thought would of intrest
A version of r/nostupidquestions: [email protected]
Have you seen a good general math one yet?
Self replying to say: I just joined [email protected]
Work Reform & Unionizing! - [email protected]
Thanks for the great list and comments! Has anyone found communities for any of these?:
- onebag
- barefoot(running)shoes
- bodyweightfitness/calisthenics
- degoogle
- minimalism
- lifehacks
- gtd(Getting things done)
Onebag has been created! https://wayfarershaven.eu/c/onebag
Link should be createde relative with servername in the format:
[communityName](/c/[email protected])
So linking to Onebag would be: Onebag
Barefoot has been created. Feel free and welcome to add. Greetings from a fellow barefooter.
Hopefully you don't get any foot fetish weirdos in there.
I wish someone would start a minimalism community.
There is a degoogle one, I think it's [email protected]
There are several subs in the minimalism realm. There's also the productivity and lifegoals communities.
Should this be edited to remove Beehaw now that they have de-federated?
AFAIK beehaw defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. Not lemmy.one at the moment
Did not realize this, thanks! 👍
They are only de-federated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works
Lemmy.one is still federated with those two and beehaw.org
That means it has no impact on us at all, afaik. I'm no pro but I just made a new account, after having a beehaw one, on this instance specifically to see if I could still see everything on all three, and I can.
It has an impact - you can't see posts or replies on beehaw communities by people from lemmy.world, even if we're federated with all of them. Only people from lemmy.world can see those (but they can't see anyone else's).
Time to wait for the cat ones
Join us for all your sports talk over at https://fanaticus.social! We've got communities for all the major sports and their teams.
I also spent the past week forking the popular game day bot, redball, in order to bring game bots to lemmy! There are still a couple of kinks I'm working out but I've begun rolling them out to the teams' communities, starting with the baseball communities.
Check out:

And all the teams-specific communities!
Avoid beehaw
What don't you like about it? I find Beehaw pretty great. The only thing I could think of is that they've defederated some of the larger instances, but it's understandable given their content philosophy and the current state of moderation tools on Lemmy (really terrible).
Does anyone know of any communities for pigeons or capybaras (or tbh any other weird-but-cute critters)?
Edit: adding some as I find them:
Start an ugly cute community! Lol. Refuge for all critters that are weird and not widely accepted as cute lil guys
Sadly the instance I joined doesn't let you create new communities. Though I suppose it might make sense to shop around a bit now that all the servers are no longer melting.
Glad I figured out how to log in. Can’t wait to join the fun!
I appreciate you taking the time to share! I’ve only messed with Mastodon briefly and the fediverse is a little challenging to navigate at first (in my opinion).
I’ve been a lurker on the subreddit for ages and when I saw your post I decided it was time to check Lemmy out. Thanks for taking the time to set up an instance to keeps the community alive as Reddit implodes. Hopefully this works out or at least can act as a temporary home until we can figure out what is next.
yes, very much appreciated!
Does anyone know if you can hide posts in Jerboa? This post and a lemmy.one welcome post are pinned at the top of my feeds, and they take up a lot of room visually. I'd also like to hide posts I've already seen, as on smaller communities I only want to see the occasional new posts, not see the same post from 3 days ago every time.
Go to your user settings and uncheck "show read posts", I just recently found it so I dont know how it works exactly, but im assuming once you open a post it will be considered read, and hidden on mexr refresh
For all things Futurama https://lemmy.world/c/futurama
Beautiful, that k you so much
Hi! Does anyone know any good communities about the following topics:
-longboarding
-possum pictures and/or possum memes
Dude, I don't want to make any assumptions here, but I get the feeling [email protected] can help you out!
Hi, I created a longboarding community! :)
Does anyone have a recommendation for a videos community?
The only one I've found so far is this:
[email protected]
I'm late to getting games so I was very happy to find https://sh.itjust.works/c/patientgamers with how patientgamers was one my favorite communities back on reddit.
Since that is also one of my favourite subreddits, I'd like to let you know that there is also [email protected] with 415 subscribers, but still waiting for it to gain traction with posts. Subbed to both to read those spicy discussions!
I am using the Jerboa app for Lemmy, and I am able to subscribe to communities via the search tab. How do I then view posts from my subscribed communities within the Jerboa app? Anyone know?
Not sure if I am using the app right...
Edit: looks like updating the app fixed it. Subscriptions now showing up in the left menu.
Much appreciated! Hopefully this really takes off.
For those who missed /r/gamedeals and /r/buildapcsales while browsing lemmy
It pulls in posts from the reddit subs.
Thanks to this list, I saved a minute.
Does anyone have recommendations for communities on camping, hiking, and backpacking? Much appreciated.
These were the ones I was able to find:
[email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]
[email protected] seems to be the most active one right now, not sure if we are federating with all of them yet.
Sweet! Thank you
Skywind is officially on lemmy. They are Skyrim mod group that is doing a full conversion mod of Morrowind.
I've setup an instance focused on some niche topics and hobbies, there's not much there yet but here they are if anyone wants!
FFXIV → https://possumpat.io/c/ffxiv
Bugs → https://possumpat.io/c/bugmenagerie
Esports → https://possumpat.io/c/esports
Gundam → https://possumpat.io/c/gundam
Star Trek → https://possumpat.io/c/startrek
Hey, I'm looking for a community with possum pics and memes, like either r/possums or r/possummemes type content
I can't help but notice you have "possum" in your name. Do you have any possum related communities?
We do now! I think it'd certainly fit with the niche communities we've made so far. No content yet, but feel free to post some stuff: https://possumpat.io/c/possums
There is an existing star trek topic thing I found in search. Is there a way to merge them? This is the one thing I'm going to be worried about is fragmentation of topics across instances.
Right now, not really.
This was also an issue on reddit tbh - several subreddits would spring up for multiple topics, like how there was r/gaming and r/games. Over time, I'm sure some instances will become the "default" for a given topic, and others will become defunct. Imo, this is a good thing. It's a pretty healthy way to grow communities and avoid lemmy.ml dominating every topic.
Can somebody recommend me a community for people with cPTSD or abusive parents?
I was going down the universal search tool list, subscribing to the communities that I was interested in, and I ran into an issue trying to sub to some of the communities. Thankfully I was able to quickly find the answer - anything that is on the block list under https://lemmy.one/instances you are not able to subscribe to from this instance.
Glad to see that Lemmygrad is on the blocklist.
If anyone else is missing Breaddit as much as I, [!bread] ([email protected]) (I think, bear with me as it's my first time trying to link to a community) seems like a good place to start.
Is this link better? https://lemmy.ml/c/bread
Second link works fine! the first doesnt
If you link it like this: Bread
it will be load that community on the user's own instance, so they can just hit subscribe instead of having to search for it back on their own instance.
[Bread](/c/[email protected])
Thank you for this. It's a nice starting point.
Any communities for capitalism? Yes, I am a capitalist, dont murder me please
https://lemmy.ml/c/pro_capitalism
Closest I found
@jonah - would you be willing to link mander.xyz to our community? They have a lot of science-based subs that look interesting. Thanks
There should be no problem joining their communities, just paste the URL for any of them into the box on https://lemmy.one/search
And the url to them shows up if you click on the community name, then Sidebar.
Any community similar to r/PublicFreakout?
I found https://lemmy.ml/c/horror, a tiny community. Can anyone recommend more horror communities?
Also, I'm so excited to be here! Everyone seems a little bit nicer. I hope we continue to grow and that the overall kindness sticks around. I saw a lot of the civility going out the window at Reddit over the last couple of years and it was disappointing. (Edgelords suck.)
There is also a horror community on kbin with 176 subscribers, but still in its infancy. You can connect our instance to it by using the search function on lemmy and pasting the full url: https://kbin.social/m/Horror and once you have subscribed, it should start slowly federating the community to ours here on lemmy.one
Monero moved to...
Where are my fellow C programmers? And those who prefer Basic ( qb64 and Gambas welcome too)?
I'm still hoping that this community grows here, but so far the only one I found for C is [email protected] (all the other programming languages seem to also have a community on programming.dev instance)
I don't find [email protected] in the list of All communities at Lemmy.one - how do I subscribe?
This, but data scientists!
There's also [email protected] , over at programming.dev, which is a software engineering/prorgramming/computer science focused instance.
How about [email protected] ?
I took a look around over at programming.dev, but couldn't find a C-specific community. Although we do have these (semi-) related communities:
You can also request new communities in [email protected] .Oh man, I was totally wrong. Check out [email protected] !Thanks! I have joined c_lang!
There are several communities I can't find though Lemmy.one. One of those are every feddit.dk community. Is that a Lemmy.one problem, or the other communities?
I've had the same issue, could be lemmy.one blocking some of those instances or vice versa. I wonder if there's an aggregator that gathers posts from multiple communities across multiple instances.
Guitar --> [email protected]
US Major League Rugby --> [email protected]Memmy for iOS makes it super easy to find and join communities. Highly recommended.
[email protected] - A community for people who write or enjoy reading HFY themed fiction.
While traditional science fiction often presents humans as vulnerable masses seeking refuge from menacing aliens or as feeble beings overshadowed by aliens with superior logic, strength or empathy. HFY disrupts these archetypes by challenging the norm.
In the world of HFY, humanity is bestowed with exceptional qualities, giving rise to a sense of optimism and empowerment within the reader. It seeks to uplift and inspire, demonstrating the potential of human greatness and the capacity for overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds.
Would Star Trek be an example of HFY?
Yeah, Star Trek is an example of HFY. Star Trek fan five are welcome too.
Thanks you, subbed to a lot of them. The more content and more posts, the better. :)
Got a great little gardening community over at [email protected] and we’re giving away free seeds to anyone who joins the instance !
Thank you for this. The community search tool link is very helpfull.
This has been an extremely helpful list. I could use a community to join for professional wrestling, I.e. AEW and WWE. Thanks in advance all, and its nice to join you!
P.S. One for Marvel Snap would be nice as well. I’d be glad to take a shot at creating it if there is any interest.
[email protected] for fans of gyro (motion aiming) in video games
[email protected] for Steam Input which is a controller remapper available in Steam.
Why can't I see this post using my account under fmhy?
It doesn't appear to be pinned on my home in there, like here
I followed /c/chat but even organizing by top all time (in which this post appears as the first one), it doesn't show while in my other account.
Anyone find anything good for space news?
Hello, still learning how this all works. I know I'm in the minority here, but has anyone come across any communities on lemmy that deal with karate, aikido, taiji chuan, brazillian jiu jitsu, or martial arts in general?
I think I found some communities to replace the programming subreddits I belonged to thanks to the suggestions here. Still looking for one to replace r/sysadmin.
Personally, I am looking to make a permanent move off of reddit and I appreciate the time and effort this took to get this instance into place and helping people figure out how to use this, Thank you.
Hopefully u/sagenkai won't make the move here. He was a shitposter deluxe on the aikido reddit.
https://lemmy.world/c/fcbayern community for FC Bayern Munich fans
What am I missing? I have subscribed to a few lemmy.ml communities here, but despite seeing https://lemmy.ml/c/overwatch2 as an extant community, trying to subscribe to [email protected] returns errors/not found on lemmy.one's side. Is this community blocked here?
lemmy.ml has a lot of federation issues unfortunately (uptime issues in general, actually). There’s not much that can be done until their server is fixed, and yes I agree it’s very annoying, but they’re working on it 👍
For well Gundam plastic model kits
I just created a community for EMS personnel https://lemmy.world/c/ems
Is there an OutOfTheLoop? I keep finding vague allusions to beehaw defederating lemmy.world, but I have no idea where to ask what happened.
Beehaw appears to be staunchly against instances who allow open registration for any account. They want to foster a safe, friendly community and instances that allow open registration are a ripe spot for trolls and bad actors to register with Lemmy. Since these trolls and bad actors are then free to post on any federated instances, they can sign up on these open instances and attack places they otherwise wouldn't be allowed to register.
Do the the limited functionality of moderation between federated instances, they decided to defederate from the two fast growing, open registration instances. They've developed a plan with sh.itjust.works to build a path to refederating but Lemmy.world admins have been non-responsive to Beehaw's attempts to reach out to them about doing the same.
Thanks! That clarifies a lot!
/r/Firefox sister kbin community is [email protected]

Is there a community for news/world news? I always found interesting news in Reddit and liked seeing discussions about it.
Just the standard big server world news ones:
World News https://lemmy.one/c/[email protected] https://lemmy.one/c/[email protected] https://lemmy.one/c/[email protected]
US specific https://lemmy.one/c/[email protected] https://lemmy.one/c/[email protected]
Feel free to let me know if I’m missing any other major ones
Also interested in this for the same reason
[email protected] is my goto for discovery, for anybody else who might be struggling to find communities
Found a few very small communities with just a few posts from the universal search tool, when I search for these (they are on other instances) I can't find them. They are not on a blocked instance (both are on lemmy.ml), am I doing something wrong or is there some limit in size of community that are reachable through federation? Thanks, am very new to how the federation works in both Lemmy and Mastodon.
Click the copy icon to the right of the community name on the search tool, then go to https://lemmy.one/search and paste in the URL it copied, and the community should show up. If it doesn't immediately show up: wait 30 seconds, refresh the search page, and try again, and then it will work.
This process needs to be easier, somehow. New users are going to search, see it doesn't show up, assume everything is broken, and leave.
Thanks, this worked. I was searching "[email protected]" but they showed right up when I used full URL copied from the search tool.
Thank you for this list!
Is there a community for soccer?
There's one here, but I don't seem to be able to subscribe to it. https://lemmy.ml/c/soccer
search for [email protected] and then you can subscribe.. (I just did this)
Is there one for PCGaming?
[email protected] A bass related community for the best instrument ever built!
thanks!
Is there any community having an Indian context?
Anyone aware of an arts/culture community that’s not about posting your own work but more about cool exhibitions and performances across the art world?
Hey if you are a redditrefugee and miss r/minimalism, boy do we have a community for you! Head on over to [email protected] !
Is there a community for users of FreeDOS?
Are there any UK-specific communities?
There's a UK-specific instance: lemmy.org.uk
So far the only community looks to be [email protected] but I expect there'll be more soon.
Did you find [email protected]?
I can't see some lemmy.ml communities like "sports" or "Star citizen"
You can’t see them if nobody here has subscribed to them yet, but if you paste the URL for those communities in https://lemmy.one/search, they’ll show up.
so that's how it works. i thought there might be a time delay, but this tracks with my experience yesterday going through the process.
the initial search does have to be specifically correct in order to find it though. I'm sure it's necessary, but something newcomers like me have difficulty learning the first time
