A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Thank you
Click the house, put your instance.
Look up nice instances, hit the (i), then select the house.
Is that the way down to do it?
Nice feature BTW!
This is good - thanks as well!
I have a guide for this! I just reshared it on [email protected] and you can find the guide here: https://lemmy.ca/post/11285664
NewToLemmy is also great if you want to ask questions about things.
I also copied the guide below, but I won't be updating this comment in the future, so use the link above for the most up-to-date version of the guide

🌐 Instances to look through
You can find communities from specific instances
A great way to find lesser known communities is to look at the /communities page on an instance. Different instances may have different themes or focuses, and so you can find related communities that way.
For example: https://lemmy.ca/communities
- pangora.social: 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

Just wanted to say, I really appreciate the stuff you do.
Thank you, I'm glad people find it helpful :)
I can't say, but I have been here since June 10th and most of my subscriptions are for communities I joined in the first 3 weeks. Those earliest communities are far better for dialog than any sorting algorithm I have seen from the original, photon, or alexanderite versions of Lemmy. I don't know how I could share those and our interests are likely different. My subscription feed is the only way I know I will find something to engage with every time. It is a major problem here with new users unable to find real conversations that are happening IMO.
Sorting by New Comments will usually find the active discussions
Do you mean within your instance or outside it?
If outside, check out the collections page at kbin.social - even if you can't navigate to it from your instance (you probably can though since it's another kbin) it's worth looking through some of the collections (multis).
E.g you might be interested in the multi-community feed https://kbin.social/c/PCGaming
Another thing worth doing is go to a magazine you like, click on the microblog tag to see the associated Mastodon posts, and then start looking at the people and exploring the hashtags. I have found some really good content that way.
Also, following people who post interesting stuff in one of your existing communities and seeing where else they post.
