I’m noticing an influx of Reddit users today, maybe revolving around their weird bug they had today. I know this question pops up semi regularly, but for those just getting their foot in the door maybe we can help show them what else is out here on the Fediverse to help them get started.
I’ll kick us off, to any newcomers, I help run the following communities, and we’d welcome you to any of them. (Shameless self promotion I know, but I hope more people join in sharing theirs as well)

For new users, I hope you find some communities that you enjoy! For current users, share your favorite communities that new folks may be interested in! (Please use both the !@_ notation and give a link, to help our new fediverse people out in learning how it works)
I’ll never pass up a chance to promote !superbowl@lemmy.world (Owls, not the NFL thing)
It’s always nice to see some jokes stick around, I hope when I die this is still a joke. (No sarcasm either, I truly love it and how much it annoys some people)
I also endose this recommendation!
!superbowl@lemmy.world has everything for your owl related needs!
Love cats? Try owls, the cats of the sky!
We’ve got cute owls, angry owls, stern owls, and silly owls.
White, brown, red, grey, big, medium, and small!
Find out where to meet owls or how to get started working with owls.
If you want hard science or fluffy photos, !superbowl@lemmy.world has got it, and if we don’t have it, we’ll get it!
We’re pretty consistently in the top trending communities for a niche group, and there’s an ever growing number of fans checking in daily.
Hey, admin of programming.dev here
Heres a nice selection of communities from various of the topic instances including ours that might be nice for most people
- !science@mander.xyz - mander is the science and nature instance with this being one of their main communities
- !programming@programming.dev - main community for the programming.dev instance which is the instance for programming
- !gaming@lemmy.zip - main community for the lemmy.zip instance which has most of the game communities so far in lemmy

- https://lemmy.studio/ - music instance (doesnt really have a main community)
Not a specific community, but check out everything on mander.xyz if you haven’t yet. Lots of great science related communities on there. It’s already a pretty active instance but would love to see the communities on there get even more love.
A community for EMS professionals that I manage and desperately want to see more activity in:
!ems@lemm.ee (https://lemm.ee/c/ems)
A community for sharing spooky stories, doesn’t matter if they’re true or not:
Had to look up what “EMS” is, it’s not referred to as this in my country and your “about” section didn’t provide any more description - you might get more international users if you use a more general term like “emergency service workers” or “ambulance” or something like that
https://lemmy.world/c/tvtoohigh
Has sooo much potential. I can feel the memes flowing through it.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !tvtoohigh@lemmy.world
Huh. I am positive these people would say my TV is too high. But, I like it where it is.
If I’m standing in front of the screen, it is at eye-height. If I’m reclining back on the lounge, I am looking up at it without having to cram my neck downward.
So, I basically disagree with this whole community’s premise.
and subbed, after being in /r/hometheater it’s good to see the core beliefs over here too. You’re TVs are too high
