Post your questions, requests, and tips in this community. All discussion is good! The more we share about what's out there, the better the Lemmy experience will be for everyone.

Note: Please avoid using the shorthand link (links that begin with !) when linking to communities. That method can result in an error in small instances. Details here.

Lemmy is a federated news aggregator, which means that most of the posts and communities that have the most activity don't reside on this server. At Lemmy.ninja, we do a lot of work trying to find those remote communities and make them easy for you to find and subscribe to.

If you're looking for a community, head to our community list and click on "all." When we find a good, active remote community, we make sure to subscribe to it so that it appears there. This list will continually grow!

edit: Well, in the intervening days since this post, we've changed from an allow-list approach to a block-list approach when it comes to federating with other communities. Doing this had an unexpected impact on our community list -- it started auto-populating. That means that it's slowly filling with communities that we haven't curated. That's okay, though; as we grow, you can use the subscriber counts on the community list to get an idea of what is popular across all of the Lemmy and kbin communities!
