Good text-based communities? - Lemmy.world

Hey folks! Recent Reddit refugee here. I loved subreddits like r/AskReddit, r/BestOfRedditorUpdates, and r/AmITheAsshole. Are there any communities here that are similar text dumps, and actually populated? It seems like most equivalents just have a handful of posts. Thanks!

Look for them, a lot of those reddit communities have been set up on lemmy as well.

Lemmyverse.net is a nice way to search for communities. If you press the home icon at the top right you can choose your home instance so you can log in and subscribe to communities in other instances.

If you check out lemmit.online you will find bot reposts of reddit threads. Useful until this place gets more content.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "text based".

You mean with long text posts? Long comments? Just not being memes?

I'm guessing they are meaning communities which aren't image or meme based yeah. But the fediverse seems more focused on text based threads in its formatting I would say (I'm using Kbin but image posts don't really stand out that much more than others, unlike Reddit where images were huge. Can't speak for Lemmy users)

There's asklemmy and askkbin. Maybe you'd find that helpful
