Some people have been asking which communities they should join first, so I posted some remote communities you can subscribe to on the sidebar on the homepage :)

Find another cool community? Leave a comment :)
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’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”.
We’re open for all!~
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.
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! 👍
Removed by mod
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).
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).
Why?
They’ve defederated over 400 instances including lemmy.world, they want centralization
Good to know, thanks.

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.
I love how oddly specific this is. Not found one yet but hopefully one will pop up. I do follow a Tumblr specifically about pigeons though
wait what’s the tumblr??? 👀
Pigeon a Day There’s a surprising number of bird blogs on Tumblr!
Time to wait for the cat ones
https://lemmy.one/c/[email protected] you mean?
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
Thank you, that worked! Although I would prefer to be able to manually hide any posts that I don’t want to see as some posts do have repeat value - but I suppose I can just comment on them or save them (I presume?) for reference.
Yep, saving works good for that. But yeah, once you open or upvote it, theres no way to undo that, so they will get hidden with that setting off.
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.

And all the teams-specific communities!
Is there a community for language learners? More specifically I am interested in learning Swedish.
I think you replied to the wrong comment. My instance hosts communities for sports :)
Apparently. I am quite new to Lemmy and still learning the ropes. Probably clicked the wrong reply button :)
Any communities for capitalism? Yes, I am a capitalist, dont murder me please

Closest I found
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!
Thank you for making me aware of this too. It’s cool seeing how across different options patient gamer community is popping up.
No problem man! I was so glad it did pop up and believe it will thrive in the fediverse!
