I’m genuinely so excited to see some of the more focussed communities blossom on this platform as they have on Reddit over the years. Which are your favourites and which do you think could succeed here?

Most of my time on Reddit was spent on r/Rimworld, r/Huntshowdown and r/books. So, those. I’ll probably engage on any graphic design and art adjacent subs too, when they pop up.
Edit: actually, I’d like to get something cleared up. Instances are akin to subreddits? Or are multiple boards inside one instance?
Instances are your server, you can think of them as “reddit” individually with their own “subreddits” (I forget what we call them but it isn’t sublemmy for some reason, I think it is just “communities”).
The difference is that all the different separate “reddits” talk to each other and display posts from all the ones they talk to on the “all” tab. The “local” tab is your instance and it’s sub-communities only which seems to be lemmy.ml, but under the “all” tab you’ll notice "communities"@beehaw.org as well since they talk to each other, and users from either can see both.
If you’re familiar with mastodon, lemmy is like reddit and mastodon had a baby together.
IMO it works to just call them “subs” because you subscribe to them.
I can get down with that, I’m just along for the ride lmao.
Yeah, it is communities.
