I browse by All and just subscribe to anything that looks interesting. After a while, you should have some interesting/popular communities in your feed.

Honestly, there are so few posts here compared to Reddit, I'm still browsing by All, even after 3 years. Every time I think I have enough interesting community subscriptions, some new community pops up in All that I want to follow.

Here's Lemmy Explorer, with communities sorted by number of subscribers.

You can check if communities similar to what you liked on Reddit have any subscribers, which many will not.

Another tip is to add a zero to the end of the score to make it correlate to a similar Reddit score. So, fifty upvotes on Lemmy is about the same as 500 upvotes on Reddit.

!196@lemmy.blahaj.zone has some of the best memes.

!bats@lemmy.world !opossums@lemmy.world !foxes@lemmy.world all get frequent updates of very cute nocturnal critters

!funhole@lemmy.sdf.org & !unix_surrealism@lemmy.sdf.org are both critical sites of Lemmy culture. Fuck the beans, whats going on with Bobby Glendys?

When you find an interesting community look up the other communities the posters and commentators post and comment in. Three dots > View user.

What are you interested in? Look for communities that relate to your interests.

Keep in mind that Lemmy is decentralized - there's multiple servers, not just one. You can subscribe to communities even if they're on other servers though. There's some browser sites that let you browse communities across multiple servers.
