For me the main criteria is: if I want to get an answer to a question, especially a non trivial one which is not releated to lemmy/fediverse - I should better go to reddit.
You’re not wrong, but I don’t see why Lemmy would want to replicate reddit in that respect. You don’t need to spend any time on reddit or even make an account to take advantage of that functionality. You just Google your question and add reddit to the end and voila.
Probably, can you give me example of such communities which are not about fedeverse, technology, foss or memes?
I also skipped the gaming and political communities because there is an absolute boatload of that content on Lemmy, as I’m sure you’re aware. These are some communities that I am subscribed to that jumped out as being fairly active.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !trees
!vaporents is an excellent community you may want to check into :) !trees is the trees community I frequent, will have to check out the shitjustworks one
I often browse /all, come across a post that looks interesting but I have no clue what’s it about, so I check the sidebar - and all I find is “An unofficial Lemmy community for X”, " A place to discuss everything about X", or the best kind, “A continuation of r/X from Reddit”....
MarijuanaLovers - A community for Growers and Smokers

[Lemmy active users] 28th of September was the only day with more monthly active Lemmy users than the previous one, probably thanks to the release of Boost for Lemmy (lemmy.fediverse.observer)

Who else is a little bit stoned rn?
It’s going good so far 🤞🤞 (i.imgur.com)
I wish people would write some descriptions for their communities

ysk - your account doesn't exist on other instances and communities don't overlap
User accounts are fragmented and just because you signed on at lemmy.world doesn’t mean your account exists on lemmy.ca....
