meh, it's a bit shit if the original dev wants to make his own Lemmy app.

Worth noting it is not affiliated with the original dev. This guy forked it and took the name.

Bonus: don't have time and want to just auto-subscribe to all (please note this isn't reversible without manually unsubbing yourself, there's a lot of niche communities here that may not appeal to you - you can remove them from the JSON file if needed)?

On PC, download this JSON file
On PC, download Lemmy Migration Tool (download the relevant .zip file)
Unzip folder, run file. Lemmy Migration Tool will now be open, like in this pic.
Note: in the Settings tab, you may wish to untick everything except Upload Community Subscriptions. Failure to do so may result in your Lemmy settings being changed.
Click the Upload tab. Then, enter your instance name and login details, click the upload button and upload the JSON file.
It'll automatically subscribe you to them all. If it looks like it's frozen, it hasn't. Just let it run. If you're on a small instance, you may need to re-run it a couple times (it can error if your instance hasn't discovered the community yet, this is solved on a rerun).

Of course, some may not be of interest or may overload your feed (meme communities can do this). Unsubscribe as needed.

I wrote this list for a curious person on the other site. It took me awhile, figured I'd share. Finding these places takes more time than I'd care to admit so... hopefully it saves you some, Lol. It's not an exhaustive list by any means, but is mostly places I find of interest and/or I think has good content. But there's definitely others out there I have missed (either intentionally or not). Lemmyverse is a great resource for finding new places.

My rough criterion was:

Of interest to me or a wide audience
Has a decent amount of activity, at least a single page worth of posts.
Casual / fun / interesting / cool / funny / chatty communities.
0 negativity/negative vibes, news, politics, overload of tech or niche tech news/info, etc.
