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. 😎
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.
Work Reform & Unionizing! - !workreform@lemmy.world
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:
- !baseball@fanaticus.social
- !cfb@fanaticus.social
- !nfl@fanaticus.social
- !nba@fanaticus.social
- !hockey@fanaticus.social
- !fantasyfootball@fanaticus.social
- !fantasy_baseball@fanaticus.social
- !fantasyhockey@fanaticus.social
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 :)
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.
Time to wait for the cat ones
https://lemmy.one/c/aww@lemmy.ml you mean?
Can somebody recommend me a community for people with cPTSD or abusive parents?
For those who missed /r/gamedeals and /r/buildapcsales while browsing lemmy
It pulls in posts from the reddit subs.
How can I create some for lemmy.one?
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: !nostupidquestions@mander.xyz
Skywind is officially on lemmy. They are Skyrim mod group that is doing a full conversion mod of Morrowind.
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.
We’re open for all!~
