I’ve already started seeing a lot of redundant communities being made here that have already existed on other Lemmy instances, and lemmy.ml is at risk of centralization and overload, so now is a great time to raise awareness of other instances.
For science topics, mander.xyz has a lot of good ones set up, and !solarpunk@slrpnk.net on slrpnk.net has been great!
edit: for new users - you can type !
to begin autofilling a community, even for ones on other instances, like I did for the solarpunk community above. It may take a few seconds for the autofill results to show up if you have a slow connection like me.
I’m on feddit.de, which is a German server whith a friendly community. There’s also feddit.it and feddit.dk for Italian or danish people. Would be cool if we see more European feddits, that work together and help each other out.
And for my favorite communities that aren’t on lemmy.ml
!gaming on beehaw.org and !ich_iel (which is the German version of me_irl) on feddit.de
I don’t know what I would do without ich_iel. This community is amazing
