I'm noticing an influx of Reddit users today, maybe revolving around their weird bug they had today. I know this question pops up semi regularly, but for those just getting their foot in the door maybe we can help show them what else is out here on the Fediverse to help them get started.

I'll kick us off, to any newcomers, I help run the following communities, and we'd welcome you to any of them. (Shameless self promotion I know, but I hope more people join in sharing theirs as well)

For help and support, taken right from the sidebar of AskLemmy here

An important one to kick off, we do have an entire community just for this over at !communitypromo@lemmy.ca (https://lemmy.ca/c/communitypromo) for a more long-running conversation

For new users, I hope you find some communities that you enjoy! For current users, share your favorite communities that new folks may be interested in! (Please use both the !@_ notation and give a link, to help our new fediverse people out in learning how it works)

I'll never pass up a chance to promote !superbowl@lemmy.world (Owls, not the NFL thing)

It's always nice to see some jokes stick around, I hope when I die this is still a joke. (No sarcasm either, I truly love it and how much it annoys some people)

Wow, didn't know this was a thing. I was watching What They Do in the Shadows recently and there's a Superbowl episode.

Does it actually annoy people? Wow, that makes it even funnier.

I already subscribed to those feathery fowls the first day I joined :-)

I also endose this recommendation!

!superbowl@lemmy.world has everything for your owl related needs!

Love cats? Try owls, the cats of the sky!

We've got cute owls, angry owls, stern owls, and silly owls.

White, brown, red, grey, big, medium, and small!

Find out where to meet owls or how to get started working with owls.

If you want hard science or fluffy photos, !superbowl@lemmy.world has got it, and if we don't have it, we'll get it!

We're pretty consistently in the top trending communities for a niche group, and there's an ever growing number of fans checking in daily.
