hi there! let us get some clues of what you're into and we can link communities for you

when you look at the list of communities then make sure you look at "All" and not "Local"

Welcome Connor! We're happy to have you here.

!asklemmy@lemmy.world and !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world are active every day and a fun place to start.

If Canadian news and stuff interests you at all, many folks go to !Canada@lemmy.ca

!pcgaming@lemmy.ca is also active on my home server.

!superbowl@lemmy.world

Welcome!

Lemmy lacks a bit in the ability to help guide people to communities, but PieFed does much better in that regard. Even though you don't have an account on it, check out https://piefed.social/topics anyway to get some ideas of what you may want to join.

Welcome Connor!

If you ever need help on Lemmy, feel free to comment here or send me a message privately!

Lemmy moves a little slower than mainstream platforms, but it's not a bad thing! You can try exploring new communities from a variety of instances and see what you like.

If you have any interests or hobbies you feel like sharing, that might help people guide you to communities you'll want to participate in.

Cheers!

Hi Connor! How are things in the future?

Welcome!

What kind of stuff are you into? There are a lot of cool communities so it's hard for me to pick one to recommend :)

I also recommend this guide (full context, I helped write parts of it): https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/threadiverse/finding-communities

Welcome, Connor! I've just been browsing all, I need to find communities as well so thanks for making this!

Welcome

Browse all to find comms you like, and browse it different ways; top, hot, new, and especially scaled. Scaled it the best for finding niche stuff. It's like top, but it's calculated using the size of the comm too. So 10:100 is weighted as much as 100:1000.

sorry connor but I don't remember names and no faces so well, but welcome.

Hey Connor, I’m also starting on Lemmy but I have a bad habit to be a Lurker on social media.

Lucky me and really grateful to you, you did this post just in time because I still don’t get a thing here even when I’m coming from reddit and wasn’t sure where to start.

Hope we both find our place here, again thanks and hope you are doing well.
