Getting the most out of fediverse communities (beehaw.org)

Hey all! recent reddit/twitter transplant and I'm trying to figure out how to get the most out of the fediverse and I really don't know? The lack of centralization is amazing, but it's also a bit overwhelming to try to figure out where people congregate and where to talk to people, especially when lemmy/kbin are so small relative to reddit. For those of you that have been here longer than a few days, how do you tend to engage with the fediverse? Any advice/places to hang out/content to recommend? Thanks!

I think my advice is the same as it was for new Mastodon transplants a few months ago: follow a lot, prune a lot.

Communities will come and go. Don't get discouraged your first week trying to figure everything out. I'd follow a bunch of communities and just prune them out later if your home timeline is getting out of hand.
