Can you suggest some beginner friendly communities
Lemmy is fairly small compared to other social media sites so instead of restricting yourself to a handful of communities I'd recommend browsing the "all" feed and just seeing everything.
Keep an eye on the instance each community is hosted on as there's often a social or political bias.
You can then block communities and instances that you aren't interested in or would rather not see.
Here you go. I'd consider these beginner-friendly because they're not focused on tech or politics.

Most are currently active (except for the ones with a * which were less active last I checked) Sometimes politics, tech or memes sneak in but they're not the focus.

What are you in to? Communities are small here but growing
If your into cute things, search for Otters the .world community is good. If your into Star Trek or Linux your options are vast. Lots of politics unfortunately do to the U.S. moves, but also there are great communities everywhere. I'll follow up if you have any hints. Dullmensclub may be nice?
That said you can create filters to weed out things that make you depressed like Terms involving Musk or such.
This should get you started. Hopefully you enjoy some of this stuff.
cute stuff
weird stuff
interesting stuff

If you also like linux stuff, open source stuff, or political stuff, there’s no shortage of those communities.
