Hi! I'm new to lemmy and this community! I've been tryin to separate myself from ideals that aren't my own (i.e. hate and censorship). Because of this I've been cancelling subscriptions and trying to find alternatives to my everyday apps and tools. I think today I'm finally swearing off reddit, so I've spent the morning adding new communities to my homepage. I'd love some recs if anyone has any favorites or hidden gems! (PS. Hope you get some regular Zs soon OP!)

Welcome to lemmy! Here’s a post that lists a bunch of active communities, if you haven’t seen it already.
In addition to the communities listed there, I also like [email protected] and [email protected]
Are there any specific interests you’re trying to find communities for?
New here ...
Struggling with everything. :(
Stressed on my own vacation because I'm rushed around by older people in my group who don't know how to stop and relax... and my sick husband is freaking out because I'm stressed we're late to meet them.

Ugh that sounds awful. We hate traveling with other people. But welcome to Lemmy!
