Related Communities
Note: communities in the format !community@domain
mean that they can be accessed through any website on the Fediverse that is connected to that domain (i.e. federates with that instance/server). For example, the music community on lemmy.world can be accessed through lemm.ee like https://lemm.ee/c/[email protected]
Additions: If you know of an Off-Reddit community that isn't listed here (only from the mentioned platforms) you can contact me on Lemm.ee (you can also try on Reddit though there's a risk that the message will get filtered so don't use the full domain, only the name of the community+platform) (note that if the community is similar to and Off-Reddit one that's already listed and has less than 20 users and minimal activity then I might not add it)
Tip: Searching for Off-Reddit communities:
- Searching the Lemmyverse: LemmyVerse / Feddit.de / Lemmy.world (see note below)
- Discuit
Note: Communities from other instances only appear in the search results if someone has already loaded them on that instance by going to an address in this format https://current.instance/c/[email protected]
(or with /m/ on mbin)
