I will answer this question in the negative way: Do not only join the most popular ones, there are some hidden gems buried under the popularity rankings.

Like what?

Scroll through !communitypromo@lemmy.ca and similar comms (dedicated to user to user promotion of communities) and find communities organically instead of using the ranking

[-] wabasso@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 months ago

Ok but I also want word of mouth. What are some of yours?

A personal favourite of mine is !pocketknife@lemmy.world, and I’m not even really into knives. It’s not the busiest community but the posts are consistently entertaining, informative, and well written so highly recommend

That's a good joke, thanks for the laughs stranger

[-] greenbelt@lemy.lol 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Is there a reason you only advertise hexbear communities? Is lemdroid.io even federated with them?

[-] Trying2KnowMyself@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 months ago

I don’t have another full list of comms handy, let me see if I can dig one up.

[-] Trying2KnowMyself@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 months ago

I poked around at a couple other instances and didn’t find any. Unfortunately, I’m not willing to spend the time right now to go through the comms lists and create them myself.

[-] mitram@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 months ago

I believe hexbear has defederated with everyone.

[-] culprit@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 months ago

https://sopuli.xyz/instances

https://hexbear.net/instances

your instance has about 3x long block list actually lmao

[-] mitram@sopuli.xyz 3 points 4 months ago

I wasn't criticizing. I apparently mixed up some old posts and assumed they actually defederated.

Happy to see I was wrong.

[-] greenbelt@lemy.lol 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Nah as lemy.lol user I can see their posts I guess. And .ml can also visit their comms. It is not like you are missing on out much besides tankie circle-jerking Maduro supporters.
