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.
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.
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.
