Back in the old BBS days, we didn’t slice ‘n dice human conversation into tens of thousands of rigidly-defined topic bins. We just... talked to each other. The categorization came later as the teeming masses got online, and large forums became unwieldy.

Lemmy is still small, and the slice ‘n dice approach doesn’t work. Just find a community that’s general enough, and post about the things you like.
