Not here long from Reddit, looking for suggestions of fun and entertaining places.
Anything but sport ir politics and I'm likely to check it out.
Thank you!
Can you recommend any communities?

Also, make sure to switch between Hot, Active, Scaled and Top 6 Hour so things don't get stale. It's not as addicting as reddit, so there is going to be some adjustment.

I keep it on Hot. When I run out of things to browse, it's time to put my phone down and go do something productive.
With Reddit, even with a curated subscription list, I never ran out of things to browse. I could accidentally spend all day on Reddit.
With Lemmy, I have a stopping point. Eventually, I either lose interest in my feed, or I catch up to yesterday's posts. Either way, it helps me to switch gears and get offline for a bit.

I'd recommend trying "scaled" if you haven't already. It's like "hot" except smaller / less active communities get boosted. I like it because smaller communities get drowned out by the larger ones otherwise.

Keep in mind that "all" only contains communities that at least one other person on your server is subscribed to. That's fine on a big server like lemmy.world, but on a smaller server you'll miss out on a lot of communities if you just rely on the "all" view.

Here's Lemmy Explorer, with communities sorted by number of subscribers.
You can check if communities similar to what you liked on Reddit have any subscribers, which many will not.
Another tip is to add a zero to the end of the score to make it correlate to a similar Reddit score. So, fifty upvotes on Lemmy is about the same as 500 upvotes on Reddit.

!196@lemmy.blahaj.zone has some of the best memes.
!bats@lemmy.world !opossums@lemmy.world !foxes@lemmy.world all get frequent updates of very cute nocturnal critters
!asklemmy@lemmy.world gets some wild and fun questions pretty regularly
Edit: We're already in a asklemmy community, so here's another:
!brandnewsentence@lemmy.world is rather active and gets some good traction

!funhole@lemmy.sdf.org & !unix_surrealism@lemmy.sdf.org are both critical sites of Lemmy culture. Fuck the beans, whats going on with Bobby Glendys?

What are you interested in? Look for communities that relate to your interests.
Keep in mind that Lemmy is decentralized - there's multiple servers, not just one. You can subscribe to communities even if they're on other servers though. There's some browser sites that let you browse communities across multiple servers.

I browse by All and just subscribe to anything that looks interesting. After a while, you should have some interesting/popular communities in your feed.
Honestly, there are so few posts here compared to Reddit, I'm still browsing by All, even after 3 years. Every time I think I have enough interesting community subscriptions, some new community pops up in All that I want to follow.
