Ive been on reddit for more than a decade. Kinda bittersweet, but its not the first time I have moved on from an internet site. I just cant support reddit and sucking up all my posts for AI purposes. Feels terrible and spammy. Ive been a reddit premium holder for many many years.

Anyways, what communities do you recommend?

Welcome to Lemmy!

I found that a large number of communities have been named after popular, and less popular, subreddits. So I found them easy to find. There was an old r/Redditalternatives post that has a decent range of communities to start out, which I've copied below. It is similar to the default subreddits.:

*Note:*The "World" hyperlink takes you to the Lemmy.World communitiy.

General

News/Politics

Pets and such

Gaming

TV and Music

Pics and Art

Technology and Science

Sports

Others

    Oh, by the way: If you're a fan of the classic "Old.reddit.com" look, the Programming.Dev instance has an identical interface: https://old.programming.dev/?sort=Hot&listingType=All .

    It's federated with Lemmy.World so all the same posts will appear. I'm partial to that on Desktop browser, and stick with https://p.lemmy.world for mobile.

    Yeah both lemmy.world and us have the same alternate frontends at the same subdomains (apart from voyager in which they went for m for mobile and we did v for voyager)

    Links for all four of them

    Interesting, I tried a simple test with a user and it worked fine, blocked them on the first attempt. I actually had difficulty unblocking them later, though, I don't think it "stuck" and had to refresh and/or navigate to a different page, and then unblock them and it worked

    I'm kind of new here too, why do all these communities have both a lemmy.ee and lemmy.world version? Is it just that someone happened to set them up on both instances so now there's two, or is there some kind of crosspost/mirroring going on?
