Welcome! It's a great, homely place that still feels a little bit like the old internet.

In addition to the already mentioned Lemmyverse, two other great ways of finding active communities are !communitypromo@lemmy.ca and !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl

The old internet never went away, not on a technical level for sure. What changed is that big corporations had dominant positions from control over user bases and then they squeezed us for profits so hard that it's no longer worth it to use them. This process seems to have accelerated since the end of the era of easy money in 2022 which is why we're seeing things pop off more than it used to.
