i like lemmy. feels very small but not dead. it's nice

For someone new to lemmy and a tech-interested HN user, which communities I should subscribe to?

i started lemmy with a programming instance, as it's a bit more focused on what i want to see. on android i use an app 'Sync for Lemmy' which makes it a little easier when i want to branch out into viewing all of lemmy.

honestly, any platform these days is going to need a lot of filtering to cut out what you don't want to see

https://programming.dev/

programming.dev has some good ones

I filter by technology/english, click "explore" on a couple of servers and it greets me with:

- Mel Gibson something Nazi

- Epic CEO says Trump Trump

- Tencent Chinese something military

- Justice Trump 34 felonies

- Republicans sound eager

Not sure if I want to "explore" "technology" further.

Just letting you know:

- Lemmy is FEDERATED ( google about it ) - If you want to see only posts from LOCAL ( not local to your instance ) posts select "LOCAL" default is "ALL" ( Federated from all )

Thanks, I think it got better in at least one instance of those. But for some reason programming.dev is okay either way. Feels like posts don’t change if I switch between all/local. Why is that?
