On Lemmy, firsty press the magnifying glass button on the upper right:

Then, in this menu, choose “Communities":

As last, write here something that makes sense, and you’ll get a list of communities mentioning that:

…and press [Search]

Choose something that is not on lemmy.ml, and got on posting :)

  And click on the ‘About’ details, to see if it is actually the right place to post that content.

I click on “Communities” in the top bar, click on “all”, enter a search term related to what I want to post, and pick the community with the most subscribers that isn’t on lemmy.ml

What are you interested in? I bet people can link you to some communities you might like, if you can't find some just browsing.

Mastodon has microblogging, like twitter/x and bluesky, if you're interested on that! Lemmy is more about finding communities on topics and posting in them.

    There are a bunch of different kinds of places that all link together! Lemmy is a bit like reddit, Mastodon is like twitter, Mbin does the twitter and reddit thing mashed together, pixelfed is like instagram, friendica is like facebook- and so on.

If you want to be taken more seriously you should dial back on the excessive punctuation and dial up proper capitalisation. You don’t need to have perfect grammar but putting the effort in makes your posts easier to read.

For simple talking communities see !casualconversation@piefed.social. If you really want to blog into the void I think something like Mastodon is better suited.

  Ahhh, okay! I understand a lot better now, thanks for the recommendations !! I’ll try my best to tone down the excessive punctuation, but I cant make any promises… its a REALLYYYYY bad habit of mine, but thank you so much!!

There’s a button on the keyboard to tell you which one. It’s right next to the Shift key.

  Which Shift key?
  
  The left one?

  Or the right one?

I have this question quite a lot. For instance, if you want to post about soccer, you have to follow this trail of like four communities that were shuttered before you end up at the one that is currently most popular, !football@sopuli.xyz. I don’t really have a better suggestion than using the search communities function, but I do think it’s time to let communities follow each other, by which I mean if you post to a defunct community, it should automatically cross-post to a related community 5ay had opted in. I think the piefed topics are a step in the right direction, since even if you post to a dead community, it still shows up in the relevant topic.

a big part of my decision on which community to post to is how active it is. i like to help keep comms active and give love to the ones that don’t get as many posts but are still relevant to the topic.
