Some of the ones I frequent often are: - fediverse @ lemmy.world (about the Fediverse so a lot of meta-content) - selfhosted @ lemmy.world - archlinux @ lemmy.ml - books @ lemmy.ml - linux @ lemmy.ml - asklemmy @ lemmy.ml - fossdroid @ social.fossware.space (FOSS Android apps) - technology @ beehaw.org - python @ programming.dev There are drawbacks to the fact that each instance can have its own Linux community (for example) - it can be hard to know where is "the" place to go. Generally I just go to the /communities page on an instance, select "All" and then go from the top (which I believe is generally the more active communities) down, subscribing to the ones that interest me.

  Thank your for the recommendations. I think I've browsed/subscribed through all of them except /c/books and /c/fossdroid. The other ones you mentioned are actually becoming too popular for my liking: there are some good things there, but overall they were starting to dominate my front-page too much so I decided to unsub them for now. I know that the devs are working in a new sorting algorithm, so that might help. In the meantime, may I interest you on https://communick.news/c/emacs https://communick.news/c/emacs ? :)

Not who you asked, but maybe also interesting: - !coffee@lemmy.world - !snoocalypse@lemmy.ml (if you want to follow the demise of reddit from a distance) - !thenetherlands@feddit.nl (not interesting if you don't speak Dutch/care about the country, but I mention it because it's surprisingly active for such a small country).
