Any non-Beehaw Lemmy communities anyone recommends following?
I'm slowly trying to build my feed and while Beehaw offers plenty of great communities with great engagement, I'd like to add a few more to give me a little more variety. Open to anything really!
Unfortunately a decent amount of active communities are on lemmy.world – but here are some other cool places from my subbed list:
mander.xyz — this place has a lot of nature and science communities; their houseplant community is great, they have a native plant gardening community, a moss community (please join and post more moss!!), and more.
sopuli.xyz — they have a map enthusiasts community I like, popular steam deck and meme communities, EDC, and more.
slrpnk.net — they have solarpunk and zero waste communities, no lawns, etc.
lemmy.zip — has good game specific communities, like Disco Elysium, Hades, Starfield, Diablo, and others
I’ll also recco lemmyverse.net as a great way to browse the communities that are across the fediverse!
Why is lemmy.world having a lot of active communities unfortunate? I'm a bit new here. Is there already drama between communities? Or some other reason, like slow servers or something?
Edit: Just saw that it's defederated. Any reason? I was worried about this being a thing, having to subscribe to other communities and shuffle subscriptions. What a pain. Hope it doesn't happen often.
Edit: Sorry, I just realized that the link that I listed is on lemmy.world, so I guess you would be unable to view it since beehaw has defederated from them.
