But how do you reliably find large active communities? I’m still new around here! Like if I’m into movie discussions, how do I know if I picked one that has like 5 subs on some obscure small instance vs one with a big subscriber base.
Check out lemmyverse.net/communities, it’ll let you search (almost) everything without being limited by your instance, and you can sort by whatever criteria you want.
Here’s a site that gives details on instance populations, general rules, functionality, and reliability. https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances. This site is a couple weeks out of date, but gives a good look into what each instance allows.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
Rules:
Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
Why choose?
I love me pirate ships.

Link me to some subs?
[email protected] is the main piracy
subahem community run by former top-mod of r/piracyaye!
Neither
Reason: Smaller instances will often run better, and also the whole point of the fediverse is not being centralized

As someone new to all this, thank you so much!!
No worries! Feel free to ask if there’s anything else you’re still hung up on.
Thank you!
Look for them! The instance you’re on has minimal limitations to where you can interact (barring defederation)
Subscribe to both with the understanding that the communities are still much smaller than on Reddit.
My favorite way is browsing all (that includes all that are federated with the instance) and subing to communities I like

That’s a awesome gif 👌.
You can tell from the performance and responsiveness of the website.

How often do you use the word “comrade”?
Not often enough.
