Just by checking https://lemmy.ml/communities one can see the most popular communities of lemmy.ml. The plan here is to list all the alternatives for those from other instances. One can also suggest alternatives to be added here and I update this living document.

if this list is still being updated, we just started up a new instance at forum.dxcomplex.com. we've got:

!music@forum.dxcomplex.com
!gaming@forum.dxcomplex.com
!art@forum.dxcomplex.com
!technology@forum.dxcomplex.com
!general@forum.dxcomplex.com (catch all for anything/everything else)

Our community in general has a slight DIY and/or retro slant to it but you can discuss whatever within the limits of the rules

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, this list is being updated regularly. But really nice to hear that you have set up your own instance, I will add those right away!

[–] _NetNomad@forum.dxcomplex.com 3 points 1 year ago

thank you! i'll check back reguarly to see what else gets added

[–] Ninmi@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

Beehaw seems to make a fair bit of effort in providing communities for most common topics and providing content in a non-toxic and non-politically polarized environment. Would recommend alternatives in either of the two recommended instances.

[–] XpeeN@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

programming@beehaw.org, greenspace@beehaw.org

[–] petrescatraian@libranet.de 2 points 1 year ago

@QuentinCallaghan For libre culture I found !libre

It doesn't really seem active tho.

[–] shadowtux@infosec.pub 2 points 1 year ago

Is https://heapoverflow.ml gone or just momentarily down? If gone it might be good to update this great posting 😁

[–] DundasStation@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Anime --> !anime@jeremmy.ml

Broken link? Doesn't work anymore. If you'll be replacing an alternative, I suggest not substituting it with !anime@lemmy.ml as that one's owned by an infamous subreddit hoarder on Reddit.

[–] freedomPusher@sopuli.xyz 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Some of these take an ethical step backwards. I see the pattern: lemmy.ml on the left-hand side, which is generally a good idea because lemmy.ml is centralized by disproportionate numbers. But when you have another quite large node on the RHS which is rendered strictly centralized by Cloudflare, you have a downgrade. E.g. the nodes lemmy.ca and lemmy.one should appear on the LHS, and for transparency I suggest tagging them with a lightening cloud (🌩).

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Far too obviously this list has aged like milk as Lemmy has grown so huge and better tools are available for finding different communities.

[–] freedomPusher@sopuli.xyz 2 points 9 months ago

I agree, but this list is pinned which made me think there’s an attempt to maintain it.

[–] thursday_j@lemmy.perthchat.org 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Once one of these get big enough, not a bad idea to make those on other instances. In case the instance goes down, admin goes rogue etc.

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

heapoverflow.ml seems to be down.

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Gotta remove it.

[–] JackFromWisconsin@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

Don't how up to date this is, but here are a few communities:

!usa@midwest.social

!gaming@midwest.social

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

I just started !titanfall@sopuli.xyz, the one sub from reddit I feel like I could run myself. Come join if you're a fan of the game/games! There were more that I was active in, I'm going to be trying to be even more of a contributor than I was on reddit, but I'll ramp up as I figure out lemmy.

[–] seahorse@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

I'd be happy to take on a meme community or news or something like that.

[–] TimothyMcFuck@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

Dope thank you

[–] _ed@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Additional Privacy --> privacy@community.nicfab.it,privacy@lemmygrad.ml,privacy@wolfballs.com,privacy@nrsk.no

[–] khorinis@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why can't I follow @privacy@lemmygrad.ml and @privacy@wolfballs.com from my instance from? The other two worked...

[–] thursday_j@lemmy.perthchat.org 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Pretty sure we're not doing lemmgygrad since it's the problems of lemmy.ml x10 and wolfballs is far right

[–] TimothyMcFuck@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

Dude I Can't get in to wolf balls I've tried but I never receive the email verification

[–] X77@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm very new to Lemmy and trying to find some interesting and live communities. I found this list and it is not good at all. Check !memes@lemmy.ca - 0 posts. Check other one - 1 post. Check another one - someone reposts links from twitter. That is not helpful list.

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The purpose of this list is simply to collect alternative communities on different Lemmy instances, not to filter them out by popularity or a similar metric.
