Ive been on reddit for more than a decade. Kinda bittersweet, but its not the first time I have moved on from an internet site. I just cant support reddit and sucking up all my posts for AI purposes. Feels terrible and spammy. Ive been a reddit premium holder for many many years.
Anyways, what communities do you recommend?
Welcome to Lemmy!
I found that a large number of communities have been named after popular, and less popular, subreddits. So I found them easy to find. There was an old r/Redditalternatives post that has a decent range of communities to start out, which I’ve copied below. It is similar to the default subreddits.:
*Note:*The “World” hyperlink takes you to the Lemmy.World communitiy.

Oh, by the way: If you’re a fan of the classic “Old.reddit.com” look, the Programming.Dev instance has an identical interface: https://old.programming.dev/?sort=Hot&listingType=All .
It’s federated with Lemmy.World so all the same posts will appear. I’m partial to that on Desktop browser, and stick with https://p.lemmy.world for mobile.
It works on lemmy.world as well!
