Here is a list that claims to show “instances of the Reddit communities on alternative platforms”: sub.rehab.
Asklemmy
A loosely moderated place to ask open-ended questions
If your post meets the following criteria, it's welcome here!
- Open-ended question
- Not offensive: at this point, we do not have the bandwidth to moderate overtly political discussions. Assume best intent and be excellent to each other.
- Not regarding using or support for Lemmy: context, see the list of support communities and tools for finding communities below
- Not ad nauseam inducing: please make sure it is a question that would be new to most members
- An actual topic of discussion
Looking for support?
Looking for a community?
- Lemmyverse: community search
- sub.rehab: maps old subreddits to fediverse options, marks official as such
- [email protected]: a community for finding communities

Nice, thanks!
Not aware of one personally, but my MO has been to just find the one I’m looking for with the most active users and go for it.
Yeah that’s what I’ve done so far, but for example the programming.dev dotnet instance has fewer members but seems more active that the lemmy.world one so I wonder if there’s like a consensus for some communities
Hmm gotcha. Yeah there’s a learning curve to it, I’m just along for the ride lol
There's nothing formal and you'd need to check anything you really care directly, I don't really check reddit any more but when I did a quick pass I saw several had the new destinations in the sidebar.
I swear I saw another one recently and grabbed some instances here on lemmy I didn't already have but I can't seem to find that one again, though this unofficial list seems pretty good. I know it's missing at least so I'd seen on the other list, but it seems pretty comprehensive.
I’ll take a look at the sidebar, thanks for the link!
