    Funny communities and news ones are usually found in generalistic instances such as lemmy.world or lemmy.ml but the most interesting ones are on specialised instances.

    The best way to discover them is to go directly to the instance and scroll a bit on the local thread or to go to the community pages. Then come back to your instance to visit again or follow the instance you like.

    There is geographically specialised instances such as :

    but a few geographically specialised instances were creative with there name such as

    • aussie.zone
    • jlai.lu
    • midwest.social

    There is subject oriented instances for example

    and !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com is probably the most follow community on the lemmyverse.

    You can speak community directly from your instance page or from a browser like :

    • browse.feddit.de
    • lemmyverse.net The browser helps you find community’s names that were never connect it to your own instance or specialised instance you didn’t knew about.
      When connecting for the first time type the url lemmy.world/c/[community’s name]@[community’s instance]. You get an error but after refreshing the page you will have access to the community. But that’s not new-commers friendly as you’ll need another manuvers to access post published before you connect you instance to the remote community. Still if you are interested, I can explain you how to do it.

    There is also politically oriented instances but some may be blocked by the administrator of your instance. You can check that on lemmy.world/instances.

    Finally, if you want to test your options on Lemmy without spamming your favorite communities, you can do that here !testfediverse@jlai.lu.
