Ive been on reddit for more than a decade. Kinda bittersweet, but its not the first time I have moved on from an internet site. I just cant support reddit and sucking up all my posts for AI purposes. Feels terrible and spammy. Ive been a reddit premium holder for many many years.
Anyways, what communities do you recommend?
Welcome to Lemmy!
I found that a large number of communities have been named after popular, and less popular, subreddits. So I found them easy to find. There was an old r/Redditalternatives post that has a decent range of communities to start out, which I’ve copied below. It is similar to the default subreddits.:
*Note:*The “World” hyperlink takes you to the Lemmy.World communitiy.

Oh, by the way: If you’re a fan of the classic “Old.reddit.com” look, the Programming.Dev instance has an identical interface: https://old.programming.dev/?sort=Hot&listingType=All .
It’s federated with Lemmy.World so all the same posts will appear. I’m partial to that on Desktop browser, and stick with https://p.lemmy.world for mobile.
It works on lemmy.world as well!
Yeah both lemmy.world and us have the same alternate frontends at the same subdomains (apart from voyager in which they went for m for mobile and we did v for voyager)
Links for all four of them
- Photon (p.) - world | programming.dev
- Alexandrite (a.) - world | programming.dev
- Voyager (m. and v.) world | programming.dev
- Mlmym (old.) world | programming.dev
