A list of casual communities on Lemmy (that aren't just tech news & politics)

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/2216085

Search Lemmyverse is good for finding communities.

I posted this on the other site but I thought I'd copy over here too, lots of good communities around to subscribe to if you want a more casual/fun frontpage that isn't just tech news, elon musk, or politics.

note: all of these communities have posts. If they appear empty, it simply means nobody on the instance you use has visited them before (or you might have blocked them and forgot, I've done it before, lol)!

Music

Lots of music communities on Lemmy. Search Lemmyverse for genres of interest for more, this definitely isn't exhaustive.

Note that music communities generally have low comment counts, from my experience.

• I made a fuller list of British music genres/communities/artists here (e.g grime, dnb, jungle, uk hh, idm, rock/metal/punk, etc)
