I’m having trouble finding good communities, please suggest some based on the category.

I’d recommend going on lemmyverse.net/communities and looking up topics you are interested in. It’s much easier to find communities like that.
One fun one for me: !futurama@lemmy.world
A well run instance that I go to for science-y communities: https://mander.xyz/communities
Clickable: lemmyverse.net/communities
fixed, thanks!
Do you mean communities?
Yes
I don’t actually care on what instance a community is hosted. They are all federated either way…
I’ve found most of the Communities I subscribe to through meta-communities like:
!newcommunities@lemmy.world
!trendingcommunities@feddit.nl
I’d be interested to see if anyone has found other meta-communities.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen anything of interest to me in All (which I try to avoid anyways, 'cos it feels like browsing by All is the first sign of an addiction or something)
I look forward to the trending communities post every day
Not sure how to format it for you but there’s a place for listing communities on kbin.social called MagHub.
(Link for us is @MagHub)
Oh cool, thanks. (That link works for us on Lemmy too).
!foss@beehaw.org | it’s great for Free and Open Source software.
!plugins@sh.itjust.works | Great for those looking for Lemmy Plugins & Userscripts.
!pcmasterrace@lemmy.world | For all things PC and PC enthusiasts.
!til@lemmy.world | Today I Learned, but on Lemmy.
There are many others, a lot of the other comments have provided community searching tools, so I’ll leave my contributions at these four.

To find a good instance, you can just check this site: https://join-lemmy.org/instances - I’d suggest reading the description of an instance and then browsing the home feed of that instance to see if you like it.
For communities, you can just switch your feed to “all” and browse through posts and see what interests you, then follow that community it was posted in.
