The federated lemmy field is all about politics and some memes. I convinced a friend with fediverse idea and advised him to start with lemmy and mastodon accounts, he has never used Reddit and aren’t familiar with subs that Reddit users know.
Recommend him some cool communities that’s not politics.
For sure, start with !bestoflemmy@lemmy.world and !lemmy411@lemmy.ca
And here are some of my favorite communities I would recommend.
!general@lemmy.world (General Discussion)
Why not suggest the communities you follow? I assume your friend has similar interests as you.
I bet OP invented this mysterious friend just to get some good recommendations!
!eternalplaylist@crazypeople.online - Music
!cool_rocks@lemmy.today - Cool RocksCool communities but niche. He’s isn’t into any of them.
TIL music is niche.
Feel free to copy and grow this list. We need to make it easier to find interesting spaces.

Where are all the PieFed communities? Also, putting commas between those communities would be doing everyone reading a favor.
They asked about Lemmy and all those communities are ones that I follow so when adding communities they auto populate for me.
I’ve already reformatted the links, they should all have breaks between each one.
If someone else wants to make a list of piefed communities they can take the time to make that post. I’m not sure why it’s only up to me to make a list.

Oh, it’s definitely up to you. Only you can create that definitive list! D:
But seriously, it’s the breaks that are the problem, at least viewing from the PF side. It turns the comment in to a gargantuan one that breaks the flow of the rest of the comments. Commas could easily solve that problem.
Doesn’t matter what community they sign up for, they are all the same comments. Trump sucks and do you use Arch Linux?
Start with All and begin subscribing and blocking as needed.

I’ve weirdly found that it’s even harder to curate ALL on the FV than it is on Reddit. The process of blocking takes a couple more clicks, and you’re only blocking a single community, not the group associated with that subject.
Also, there’s an unbelievable amount of niche communities that for some reason seems even more gargantuan than at the other place. I must have hundreds blocked by now, and my ALL feed is still as weird and unpredictable as ever.
Fair warning if your instance isn’t defederated from lemmy.nsfw there will be a LOT of porn
You can also just block instances, I’ve got most of the porn ones and tankie ones blocked
Whenever I recommend lemmy to friends, I point them to my feeds of non-politics, non-tech communities:
Nice feeds! I have added them to the Explore menu for everyone, now.
Wow, thanks!

The NSFW communities have very few serious discussions, probably because it’s harder to type with your left hand only, lol. And I’m not there either but probably some gaming communities?
Are there any free nsfw communities? I don’t object to them being paid—totally reasonable given the bandwidth required. Just wondering what options I have for my poor wallet.
Titties and dicks appear (blurred but still) on my feed all the time and I haven’t paid anything in Lemmy. 🤷
Blurred on feed but then available if you click through to the post?
Ofc, ofc. 👍
