Discovering new communities
Discovering new communities
One thing I liked (and sometimes disliked) about Reddit was that my feed was a mix of posts in communities I'd joined and a few suggestions of posts from subs The Algorithm™ thought I might like.
On Lemmy I'm realizing I'm starting to fall into a bit of an echo chamber situation because I basically only see stuff I'm already a member of, unless I explicitly go to All or scroll the list of communities.
Are there less involved (lazy) ways of discovering new stuff and broadening my horizons a bit?
We launched some threads dedicated to specific topics last month, you should find some communities that are interesting to you
https://lemmyverse.net/communities
Trending communities: !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl (make sure you enable "Show bot posts" to see here)
If you're really looking for newly created communities...
sorted by new https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=published
Lemmy's built in communities page sorted by new /communities?listingType=All&sort=New&page=1
Scroll by new, rather than active, and scroll by Local, rather than All.
Browse all and sort by new or scaled maybe?
