Hey, that’s six words!

Got it!

Teenage time-travel emotional adventure.

The problem isn’t that there are a lot of communities serving the same interest. The problem is that it’s hard to see all the communities so that you can pick one or more to join. Reddit had its default front page – and later r/popular – which aided in subreddit discovery. You can’t get this across all Lemmy instances yet. The best you can do is view all the Lemmy communities in a big instance. This works somewhat well, because Lemmy lets you see how many users of an instance have subscribed to a remote community as well as a local one.

At Lemmy.ninja we have a community dedicated to community discovery to help assist in this process. Our thinking is that once you know a community exists and can see how active it is, you can join it (along with the other related communities) and test it out until you get a nice comfortable community list to function in.
