And which of them are a better alternative than subscribing to a specific community here at lemmy.world?
https://startrek.website/ has a few communities, but they’re all on theme.
It’s also basically the /r/startrek community. One of the earliest to migrate, and migrate wholesale.
Course I’m not sure how smart each topic having its own instance is going to be. Feels like that just means the mods you knew from Reddit are now admins of their own neighborhood, answerable to no one, and that could be a good thing…but I can see a lot of ways that creates issues in the future.
Bias is I was a mod, but I figure the people both technically literate enough to host an instance and that actually did leave reddit when push came to shove are the good ones, generally. Most of the shitty mods haven’t left precisely because it would mean giving up what little power they have.
- http://programming.dev (sort of - has multiple communities, but is focused on programming)
- http://ttrpg.network (as above, but for roleplaying games)
Is it possible to subscribe to this, or do I need to make an account there to view it in the Memmy app?
yes, you can subscribe to any community that has been federated. search communities “all” or just go to !moviesandtv@lemmy.film
Not sure I understand the question, but you should be able to subscribe to their communities (such as !moviesandtv) from wherever you are posting from. :)

Funny you should ask. I recently created a community for cataloging specialized instances. Its got a pretty big list of them.
There are some with very specific purposes/nationalities (like lemmynsfw, lemmy.ca, and one Portuguese-only one for people from Portugal) that somewhat resemble the porn subs and the country-themed subreddits like r/canada and r/suddenlycaralho respectively.
