I’ve already started seeing a lot of redundant communities being made here that have already existed on other Lemmy instances, and lemmy.ml is at risk of centralization and overload, so now is a great time to raise awareness of other instances.
For science topics, mander.xyz has a lot of good ones set up, and !solarpunk@slrpnk.net on slrpnk.net has been great!
edit: for new users - you can type !
to begin autofilling a community, even for ones on other instances, like I did for the solarpunk community above. It may take a few seconds for the autofill results to show up if you have a slow connection like me.
I like !lgbtq_plus@beehaw.org, !map_enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz, and !foss@beehaw.org.
How do I subscribe to that sopuli one, since it doesn’t show up in my local search results?
Oooh, I didn’t know about the map enthusiasts one :)
