Welcome! I’d recommend subscribing to !communitypromo, to see recommendations over time.

We also have a guide for finding new communities here: lemmy.ca/post/5581032, which I’ve copied below for you.

A great way to find lesser known communities is to look at the /communities page on an instance. For example: lemmy.ca/communities

For a list of instances to look through:

• pangora.social (NEW): Great way to find instances related to a particular topic. This is also great for picking an instance when first making an account/moving accounts.
• awesome-lemmy-instances: not that organized, but it

🔎 Search pages

• lemmyverse.net/communities
• browse.feddit.de (run by feddit.de)
