I'm just going on r/all (idk what the Lemmy term is called) and sort by new. Whatever I see that interests me, like news about the world or a photo I find looks good. For now I'm just talking in whatever I find because I want to increase engagement overall. Later, when my niche communities become big enough to the point I don't need to constantly talk, I'll probably relax on my engagement.

Yep, same approach I'm taking.

For now browsing all is a good starting point. If I come across an interesting community while doing that, then I'll add it to my subscriptions.

As things grow, I'll switch more to browsing my subscribed communities.
