Search Lemmyverse [https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active&nsfw=null] is good for finding communities. I posted this on the other site but I thought I’d copy over here too, lots of good communities around to subscribe to if you want a more casual/fun frontpage that isn’t just tech news, elon musk, or politics. note: all of these communities have posts. If they appear empty, it simply means nobody on the instance you use has visited them before (or you might have blocked them and forgot, I’ve done it before, lol)! — #### Conversation communities These are places that are ‘chatty’, good if you want a lot of comments. ##### “ask” based - !asklemmy@lemmy.ml [/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml] - !asklemmy@lemmy.world [/c/asklemmy@lemmy.world] - !askmeanything@lemmy.ca [/c/askmeanything@lemmy.ca] - !askscience@lemmy.world [/c/askscience@lemmy.world] - !asktheworld@lemm.ee [/c/asktheworld@lemm.ee] - !askuk@feddit.uk [/c/askuk@feddit.uk] - !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world [/c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world] ##### Casual chat / Misc - !cafe@monyet.cc [/c/cafe@monyet.cc] - casual chat community.
