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.

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.

I’d be happy to take on a meme community or news or something like that.
How about I create a meme community here and make you its moderator?
That’s fine
Make a post in [email protected] and then I promote you.

Thanks regardless!
There’s also now [email protected] and [email protected]
Anime --> [email protected]
Broken link? Doesn’t work anymore. If you’ll be replacing an alternative, I suggest not substituting it with [email protected] as that one’s owned by an infamous subreddit hoarder on Reddit.
Is https://heapoverflow.ml gone or just momentarily down? If gone it might be good to update this great posting 😁
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 (🌩).
Far too obviously this list has aged like milk as Lemmy has grown so huge and better tools are available for finding different communities.
I agree, but this list is pinned which made me think there’s an attempt to maintain it.
There is of course the venerable [email protected], but I generally post in the generalist communities to help grow them.
we have a few fediverse ones here, let me find them.
https://lemmy.ca/c/fedizens
https://lemmy.ca/c/thefedizenenquirer
https://lemmy.ca/c/fediverselore
https://lemmy.ca/c/bestofthefediversecan create a generic fediverse one if needed?
Nah, those separate communities have specific purposes and are just fine.
there’s one over at https://lemmy.ml/c/fediverse
We’re trying to find/make some on smaller instance than lemmy.ml or lemmygrad
new finds:
https://lemmy.ml/c/green has 1.45k subscribers - beehaw: https://beehaw.org/c/environment, also slrpnk.net as a whole.
heapoverflow.ml seems to be down.
Gotta remove it.
