Where do you find alternatives for your subreddits? I found most of them but for these I can't find any alternatives so I'm still using old.reddit and redreader.

The Voyager app has a built in "migrate subreddits" button. It's not great but it works.

I primarily use lemmyverse.net with related terms till I find something. Otherwise I might create it myself till I can hand it off to someone.

Here's the guide from !communityPromo@lemmy.ca:


A great way to find lesser known communities is to look at the /communities page on an instance. For example: https://lemmy.ca/communities

๐ŸŒ Instances to look through

  • pangora.social (NEW): Great way to find instances related to a particular topic. This is also great for picking an instance when first making an account/moving accounts.
  • awesome-lemmy-instances: not that organized, but it

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works

Voyager client have a feature that provide you recommendation for communities similar to subs you follow on reddit

r/linux4noobs -> !linuxquestions@lemmy.zip or any of the Linux communities seem to be responsive to questions. I think in these early stages the more niche communities need to exist within the larger communities. If the niche community gets too disruptive to the large community it can break out into its own community.

Do a search in All for the keywords for the community name. Chances are you are either not going to find some of them or find multiple ones on several Lemmy instances. If you find several, subscribe to all and see which one is the most active, if you find none, consider starting one yourself.
