Not here long from Reddit, looking for suggestions of fun and entertaining places.
Anything but sport ir politics and I’m likely to check it out.
Thank you!

I browse by All and just subscribe to anything that looks interesting. After a while, you should have some interesting/popular communities in your feed.
Honestly, there are so few posts here compared to Reddit, I’m still browsing by All, even after 3 years. Every time I think I have enough interesting community subscriptions, some new community pops up in All that I want to follow.
Also, make sure to switch between Hot, Active, Scaled and Top 6 Hour so things don’t get stale. It’s not as addicting as reddit, so there is going to be some adjustment.
I keep it on Hot. When I run out of things to browse, it’s time to put my phone down and go do something productive.
With Reddit, even with a curated subscription list, I never ran out of things to browse. I could accidentally spend all day on Reddit.
With Lemmy, I have a stopping point. Eventually, I either lose interest in my feed, or I catch up to yesterday’s posts. Either way, it helps me to switch gears and get offline for a bit.
I’d recommend trying “scaled” if you haven’t already. It’s like “hot” except smaller / less active communities get boosted. I like it because smaller communities get drowned out by the larger ones otherwise.
Keep in mind that “all” only contains communities that at least one other person on your server is subscribed to. That’s fine on a big server like lemmy.world, but on a smaller server you’ll miss out on a lot of communities if you just rely on the “all” view.
