Lemmy411 - Don't know where to find what you're looking for?
Looks like a great resource: https://lemmyverse.net/communities (also searches/browses through instances)
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/61827 > (These instructions are for using Lemmy in a browser. If you are using [an app](https://join-lemmy.org/apps), some steps may differ.) > > ## How to Join Lemmy > > To use Lemmy, you need to be a member of **one instance** from the list at <https://join-lemmy.org/instances>. You will still be able to see content from anywhere, but the instance you choose will determine: > * What URL you use to log in to Lemmy, > * What content shows on the homepage when you select "Local" or "All", > * Who moderates your instance, and > * What rules you agree to when you sign up. > > Choose an instance that matches your interests, language, and region. (If you want more information about an instance, you can tap its "Join" button, which will show you its current homepage in the main view and its description in the sidebar. You can also check the tables [here](https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances) and [here](https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy).) **Please avoid joining instances that are already crowded (1000+ users/month).** If an instance gets overcrowded, it can start running slowly or experiencing downtime, so choosing an uncrowded instance will give both you and others a better Lemmy experience. > > Once you have decided on an instance, tap its "Join" button to open it and then tap "Sign Up" in the upper-right corner. Fill out the form and wait for your account to be approved. > > When your account is approved, log in and customize your profile and settings. If you change your language settings, **select "Undetermined" in addition to any languages you speak** so that you can still see posts and comments that are not tagged as being in any particular language. > > ## How to Find and Subscribe to Communities > > There are four ways to find communities through Lemmy: > > 1. To browse communities that others in your instance are already subscribed to, tap the "Communities" tab at the top of the page and choose the "All" scope. Tapping on a community name will open it through your instance. > > 2. To browse communities across all instances, visit <https://browse.feddit.de/>. Tapping on the community's name will open it, but probably not through your instance (in which case the page will say that you are not logged in). **Instead, follow these steps:** > > a. Copy the community's URL or remote name. You can use the copy button next to the community name, you can open the community outside your instance and copy the URL from your address bar, or you can open the community outside your instance and copy the remote name (which will look like `!community@instance.tld`) from the sidebar. > > b. In your instance, tap on the "🔍 Search" button in the upper toolbar. > > c. Make sure that you have chosen "All" for each of the four filters: "Type", "Scope", "Community", and "Creator". > > d. Paste the community's URL or remote name into the search field and tap "Search". > > e. One of the results should be the community shown as an icon, a name, and a subscriber count. If you do not see it, or it is buried too deep in the search results, try changing "Scope" to "Local". If that does not work, you may need to wait a bit and try again. > > f. Tap on the community in the search results to open it in your instance. > > 3. If you want an experience similar to Reddit's `r/all`, visit <https://lemmy.directory/home/data_type/Post/listing_type/All/sort/Hot/page/1>, which aggregates from [these communities](https://lemmy.directory/communities/listing_type/All/page/1) as described [here](https://lemmy.directory/post/34207). As in Option 2, you can copy and search for a community's URL to open it in your instance and subscribe to it. > > 4. If you don't see a community by browsing, subscribe to <https://lemmy.ml/c/findacommunity> and make a post about what you're looking for. > > Once a community is open in your instance, subscribe to it by tapping on the "Subscribe" button at the top of the sidebar. It will then appear in the "Subscribed" section of your "Communities" tab, and its posts will show on your home feeds. > > Can't find a community you're looking for? If your instance allows it, you can create the community yourself by tapping "Create Community" in the upper toolbar. >

Not for deep interests, but you know like that old song about someone’s favorite things where the examples are all like copper kettles. Where you might write a few sentences about the little thing you like.
I find it fascinating how diffierent newspapers/magazines etc. try to convey political messages on their front cover, and show virtue signaling. Is there anywhere to share them? Both “good” (as in I agree with the message) and “bad” ones, and both historical and current. On reddit r/propagandaposters was great for the historical ones
Specifically PC games Edit: Windows PC games
I want some fun communities to browse after being tired of seeing bad news most of the time when I scroll through lemmy
What the title says
Any ideas where I could ask for show recommendations for glide dancing? [Glide dancing example](https://youtube.com/shorts/kT496mk05YQ?si=OD3nsLh8BKhFwN3A)
c/comics says no NSFW in the community info. Where is an appropriate place to post this? Can be on any instance. More info: It is a one off art piece. Not an ongoing webcomic.
It doesn't seem like it would necessarily fit either [!lemmy@lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy) or [!lemmy_support@lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support), and [!moderators@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/c/moderators) I think may be more intended for Lemmy World community moderators.
I live in Greece, and I'm getting a Pixel 7a, but the delivery is... not going well. It's been stuck on "To be sent" since I ordered it. I was wondering where I could get help with this problem?
Back then on Reddit i really enjoyed r/nosleep, is there a good (creepy)pasta community on lemmy?
Has anyone found good communities for tabletop gaming, especially for game masters and narrators? Very much obliged!
Is there a /c/ for discussing Black Spire Outpost stuff?
By "venting" I mean "freely expressing bad feeling(s)". Edit: thanks you for your answers!
I'm thinking of like "Is there a [blank]" or "Where would I find [blank]" sort of community where one might ask things like, "Is there a creator/YouTube channel/blog covering [blank]" or "Where would I find a durable [blank]?" Sort of a general looking for [thing/source] community, rather than personal help/care kind of community (as I know some of those are around). Atm I think the AskLemmy communities are sorta being used for these questions, so I'm guessing maybe there isn't an alternative?
Is there a community for dark / spooky / creepy art, that is not on *lemmy.ml*?
I like naming stuff, any community that does this or smth adjacent
I'd like to buy the services of someone who can create svg files from characters from a video (those are already flat and simple colored, so an easy job for anyone who knows how to trace stuff like that), though I have no idea where to look.
Looked around and can find plenty of tech news related communities and several tech communities for learning/discussing specific tech subjects (programming, programming languages, etc.), but can't seem to find a more open-ended, all levels tech questions community. Closest I found to what I'm looking for was [!tech_starter@lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.ml/c/tech_starter), but that's more aimed at beginners (which is a great idea tbh). Have I overlooked where one of the tech communities is more open to questions alongside news? Will admit I was skimming after awhile of searching, so I may have!
So that someone can help identify it

Where would I ask a question about Mint Mobile? Just realized that texting myself doesn't actually go through as a text, which is weird, but don't know if there's a community I can use to ask about it.
Two subreddits I used to be very active in were for techsupport and networking/home networking. Anyone know if there's Lemmy communities for the same? Also, related, is there a way to list communities available from a specific instance? Like if I wanted to see all communities local to Lemmy.world or something (that's not my local instance), can I do that? If so, how? I'm still getting used to the fediverse way of doing things, I love it here, I'm just having trouble getting myself up to speed relative to all that I was subscribed to on Reddit. TIA
Trying to fill the void left from r/MMA & r/BJJ ... Any one have any recommendations for relatively active communities?
I hate everything so much rn
I'm looking for communities or magazines for technical/professional writers. Please let me know if you're aware of any. :)
Hi, Does anyone know of any active weightlifting, strongman or home gym communities? I need some advice on my routine. Thanks!
As per title - looking for a place to post about doggos and discuss all things doggo
I [posted this on !youshouldknow@lemmy.world yesterday](https://lemmy.world/post/1080409?scrollToComments=true) and I thought it was worth sharing here too to help people looking for specific types of communities on the Lemmyverse: I built this for myself some years ago and used it a lot to find many interesting niche subreddits. Today I expanded it to also help myself and others find interesting niche communities across the Lemmyverse! [There is a longer explanation here from an older article](https://lgug2z.com/articles/finding-interesting-comments-discussions-and-communities-online/), but basically: * You give this a link that you found interesting * It will (try to) find everywhere it has been shared on the Lemmyverse (and other websites) * It will show you all comments from everywhere it's been shared on a single page * You can do all the regular stuff like filter, sort, isolate etc. One thing I find myself doing very often is hitting "toggle sources" on the top banner; this shows me everywhere the link has been shared and commented on, and if I see a community I'm not familiar with, I'll isolate the comments from that source and have a look through to see if it's a community I'd like to engage with. There are also browser extensions and an iOS shortcut available. You can check out an example from [a post that just hit "Hot" on lemmy.world here](https://kulli.sh/search?q=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.joinmastodon.org%2F2023%2F07%2Fwhat-to-know-about-threads%2F)! I hope this helps people find interesting, engaging and fulfilling communities in this next chapter of the internet! 🚀
