A comprehensive mapping of old subreddits to new communities.

Someone has started a community curated list of subreddits that have made a Lemmy or Kbin Instance.

This will help people discover their niche commuities while also preventing fragmentation.

    I really appreciate this, but I am not seeing 90% of the subreddits I used to be subscribed to appearing here, such as: r/todayilearned, r/damnthatsinteresting, r/funny, r/animalsbeingderps, r/personalfinance, r/outoftheloop, r/pics, r/oddlysatisfying and many more… I hope they come soon

      The creator of the list is not adding unofficial communities in the index, so there might be the communities you’re looking for on Lemmy already.

      If not, it’s still very early days so give it time each day many more communities are being created.

    Thanks for the list! I’m still a noob at Lemmy and the fediverse, so was wondering if someone could please post how to subscribe to these via Jerboa. It’s easy enough to subscribe when you’re viewing a post in the app, but I don’t know how to add one from a URL.

      You can’t add from URL because they’re not shown there in a form that the app would handle (if there even is one, I’m new to it too).

      You can use the second button on the left on the bottom bar in Jerboa. It’s a screen that lists your subscribed communities but you can also search for other Lemmy communities. If their home instance federates properly you should be able to find them and then you can browse and subscribe.

      It won’t work with communities at kbin.social because Jerboa doesn’t support Kbin, only Lemmy. Not sure if there’s any app with dual Kbin+Lemmy support just yet.

      The search function seems pretty hit and miss. I can go to a channel through the browser, copy and paste the URL into the jerboa search and get nothing. I try being patient but still get nothing. It’s not an issue of the server not federating as I’m subbed to another channel on the same server.
